Roadrash 3D and Roadrash Jailbreak are both available on the PS1
Roadrash 3D I think is the conversion that CiDeRmAn mentions and is pretty good imo.
Roadrash Jailbreak came after this and has a few extra modes and allows 2-Player co-op. Not bad but my preference is for 3D.
NOoooooo!
Road Rash, the conversion from the 3DO, is simply called "Road Rash"
Road Rash 3D and Road Rash: Jail Break both suck Donkey Kong Country Balls!
Road Rash 3D....
Road Rash Jailbreak....
And Road Rash...
The main game characters are in sprites which have a better, cleaner look compared to the 1st gen polygons of the other two games.
Also the tracks are smoothly rendered in RR, with real character in each environment, I still love bombing along the pacific highway, all good baby, all good.0 -

I'll correct you there young o1s1n....
Okay...!The first PS Road Rash game was a conversion of the 3DO Road Rash,....
I never said it wasn't :Pa title that was the best in the series imho
Opinion, nothing to correct there really.Doom, on the other hand, never came out on the PS2,
I never said it did!
Doom 3 was an Xbox exclusive but fun (in spite of what some here might say!).
Doom 3 is pile of boring boring. Absolutely lost opportunity that. Doom was about running frantically from room to room, blasting absolute hoards of hell spawn, trying to avoid ending up as a pile of mushed goo. Something completely missing from Doom 3.The Doom titles on the PS1, Doom and Final Doom are well worth getting, the music is pretty nice and the system link option is fun and obscure at the same time!
Doom on the machine contains both Doom and Doom II so is well worth having, Final Doom I found to be relatively short and disappointing, oddly enough.
Pretty much what I was pointing at in regards to saying he could play the PS1 games on the PS2.
I consider myself uncorrected 0 -

Whatever about the different versions of Road Rash (only played the MD one and it's trash, Super Hang-On ftw :cool:) but I don't know why you'd want to play Doom other than with a keyboard and mouse, unless ofc it's just to sample the various console versions out of curiosity, fair enough in that case.
Great gif that EnterNow, a perfect fit. :pac:
Doom doesn't have to fall into the kb/mouse category for me, as there's no z-axis aiming [stock]. It actually works fine on a joypad, which is strange, because I'm a kb/mouse or nothing man when it comes to FPS. Doom though, being an early FPS with no up down, can survive the transistyion well enough to a pad I reckon.Road Rash is trash?
I've been troll baited by John Ultimate easily in the past, I'm reluctant to jump in & deal with this at the moment 0 -

I'm pretty sure such comments are covered by the Irish Blasphemy law.
Eh, uh, I meant "rash", yeah that was it...
I guess what I really meant is I had a Snes rather than MD so never played it until recently on the Nomad - didn't like it at all, so it holds no sentimental value for me at all - game play very poor, aged terribly etc. /takes off retr0-style critical cap
@EnterNow - I thought you handled yourself very well with that recent Johnny_Ultimate troll attempt, very restrained indeed.

I would suggest heading on over to the Arts -> Film section and starting a ruckus by insulting some film/director that he likes. Stuff like that Fargo/Cohen Brothers muck that he probably likes. Seriously though, Film shouldn't even be in the Arts section in fairness... (stuff like that) 0

EDIT mudderfudder!:-
There was a Road Rash game released for the PS1 but it was pretty bad. Better off sticking with the Megadrive versions.
I'll correct you there young o1s1n...
The first PS Road Rash game was a conversion of the 3DO Road Rash, a title that was the best in the series imho.
It's pretty easy to find too, although I'd naturally default to the 3DO edition the PS version is almost identical and will play on PS2 and PS3.
(end of correction of o1s1n, following statements are comments on the Doom on PS2 part of the OP and were not part of any critique of o1s1ns gaming appreciation or lack there-of...)
Doom, on the other hand, never came out on the PS2, Doom 3 was an Xbox exclusive but fun (in spite of what some here might say!). (Yes, it is fun, yes you are all wrong by calling it a load of Poo!)
The Doom titles on the PS1, Doom and Final Doom are well worth getting, the music is pretty nice and the system link option is fun and obscure at the same time!
Doom on the machine contains both Doom and Doom II so is well worth having, Final Doom I found to be relatively short and disappointing, oddly enough.
Ok, going to edit the post to correct the grammatical errors....
And just say, if you were initially referring to the Road Rash 3D/Jailbreak games for the PS, and calling them trash then you are dead right, they're pants, but then you will have forgotten the PS port of the 3DO game...
Unless you meant to say that the PS port of the 3DO Road Rash was rubbish and so, you are wrong there...
And, I agree, not liking Road Rash and RRII is a criminal offence, punishable by having your Raiden games confiscated and given to the mod who is typing right now, there will be no other warnings given!!!0 -

As in blast it with piss?
Nah, it'll take real duplicity to get him. Hipsters are damned smart sometimes
Problem is they associate intelligence with their hipsterdom. Therefore you trolling them with the art of duplicity will probably result in a bigger, inner hipster smugness.
Blasting with piss on the other hand resorts to crude levels of retort and, well...they'll end up stinking like pissI would suggest heading on over to the Arts -> Film section and starting a ruckus by insulting some film/director that he likes. Stuff like that Fargo/Cohen Brothers muck that he probably likes. Seriously though, Film shouldn't even be in the Arts section in fairness... (stuff like that)
Every time I go to look for the film forum I can't find it for that very reason. Then when I accidentally click on arts, and see 'celebrity and showbiz' - I realize that's where they must keep all the fluffy brainless stuff and scroll down to film.And, I agree, not liking Road Rash and RRII is a criminal offence
We agreed on something! That is being printed and stuck up on my wall of monumental achievements 0 -

Honestly in terms of gameplay it's no contest. The Sega games are the clear winner.
Just compare the action between both:
There's so many great things that have been lost since the original games.
I actually find the newer one gets pretty boring quick.
All it has going really is a better framerate, and of course higher res graphics.0 -

Keyboard and mouse are infinitely better than a joypad for doom. It's impossible to circle strafe with a joypad and if you want to play ultra violence then you bloody well need it!
PS1 Doom was decent but I didn't like that they cut out a lot of the bigger and best levels and replaced them with crapper new levels. Great music though even though I prefer the copyright infringing midi tracks of the originals.

Ah man, I remember playing duke 3d like that for years,
using alt to strafe and 7 and 1 on the num pad to aim up and down.
Back then I didn't even know what a WASD was!
I think that configuration may have come about with half life?
It still didn't stop me from clearing the game on Come Get Some though!0 -

WASD was around for years. It got popular with Quake multiplayer but a lot of people were using it for FPS games since Doom, maybe before it. The default controls in System Shock were a weird variant of WASD. It turns Doom into a slow paced game into a 3D version of Robotron. Then the game becomes glorious!

Look, please stop embarrassing yourself.
The 3DO game is the best, it's ok for you to be wrong, so don't sweat it!
The MD version is a black strip, running into the distance, poorly defined scenery, you either have music or sound effects but not both, the lower difficulty levels are a pain to work through, the higher Diablo levels require Jedi skills to master.
The 3DO and PS games are gorgeous, the levels better made, the roads split and the whole thing looks and sounds so much better.
Also, the range of bikes is better, the videos are inspired.
The gameplay, is almost the same it as to be said, you prefer RR3, well, I would prefer RR2 of the 16 bit games.
This is something we both may not agree on....
Here's something we will agree on,
Skitchin' is tripe.
Nuff said.0 -

Besides cidey, we all know you're just trying to justify the fact you bought a still overpriced, failure of a console!
You're fooling no one here man....
So, just for the sake of clarity, you reckon the 3DO is an overpriced, failure of a console??
Not sure, but Steve will have your head on a stick in his front garden if you bad mouth the 3DO, and I'll help him!0 -

Who was it that thought the LG one was better? Or was that the Samsung one? Anyways, they were way wrong, the FZ-1 is where it's at, unless you have an M2, which I don't.. 0 -

The perfect 3DO has to be a NTSC FZ1 (without the silly mini fan on earlier models) with the PSU swapped out for a PAL UK one.
As for an M2, nice but more a curiosity than something you'd stick on to play.
