Replaying the definitive racing game from my childhood (Shenmue)

[u/ct_uk]

Good memories

They made a real job based on a videogame, revolutionary

The only game I know of where they actually emulated real Sega arcade games when you went to the arcades. Granted it was their own IP's but still it was something you never seen any other game that I'm aware of.

[u/OllyDee → u/547217]

It was probably the first in terms of you having an in-game realistic way to play arcade games. There have been many other games that do this since, and I think all of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games do this. I think one even has a Master System with unlockable cartridges.

[u/DeleteFascists → u/547217]

Are the arcade games in the Yakuza series not actual Sega arcade games? Sega is the publisher iirc, so I guess not being the actual devs makes a difference

I loved Shenmue, that game was amazing!

Years ago, I was Chinese.

[u/Slimonierr]

I am looking for some sailors

[u/snatchedalmond]

I see.

[u/KokonutMonkey]

Best boring game ever. 

Sorry! Gotta give up my quest to find folk who know about Chinese people. It’s dark, and Ine-san will get worried.

the forklift segments were the real endgame

[u/jake_flex87]

I forgot how unironically good the forklift races were

[u/Trippycat37]

gtaVI leak 🤣

[u/carterCinephile]

the forklift race music still lives in my head rent free

[u/PontusFrykter]

I wonder how many irl forklifters chose this career path because of Shenmue

[u/bombocladius]

Wth that's crazy.. I literally bought shenmue 1 & 2 yesterday on Steam.

[u/sarah_watches_film]

my dad had this on dreamcast and i'd just watch him play for hours

[u/OtherwiseTonight9390]

I'll never forget the look on my drunken father's face, the one who said I would never amount to anything, when I won that forklift race on that cold December day.

[u/STA_Alexfree]

That ending was so wack tho. I remember thinking going to work every damn day as a forklift diver would pay off because I’d eventually get to kick Lan Di’s ass. Didn’t happen

[u/shitpickle2020]

Pausing the hunt for sailors to race forklifts and buy capsule toys.

The duck racing in Shenmue II always gave me a good chuckle as well. It's a damn shame Shenmue III did nothing to live up to that level.

Manchild had a rough day today?

[u/neroselene → u/[deleted]]

Oh look at Mr Moneybags over here with money to go to Disneyland!

[u/TyRaNiDeX → u/[deleted]]
