Item Description
Hydro Thunder was there on day one. When the Dreamcast launched in North America on September 9, 1999, Midway's thundering arcade boat racer was part of the lineup, and few launch games showed off the new hardware's speed and spray quite as loudly. It took the outrageous energy of its 1999 arcade cabinet and turned it loose on open water.
The racing is pure arcade bravado. Blue and red boost icons float across every course, with the rarer red ones packing more fuel, and burning that boost does more than make you faster: it powers the Mighty Hull, letting you plow into rivals and send them flying. Tap the brake and then hit boost to pull off a Hydro Jump, and suddenly the ramps scattered across each track open up hidden shortcuts and out-of-reach boost icons. Learning where to leap is the whole game.
The courses are a joy to discover, from frigid Arctic waters to a flooded, post-apocalyptic New York City, with bonus tracks like the Nile Adventure and the hidden Hydro Speedway rewarding skilled racers. The home versions add their own bonus courses, the Catacomb and Castle Von Dandy, on top of the arcade lineup. There are thirteen boats to master, from forgiving beginner craft up to four bonus boats, and two players can race head to head.
Critics loved the Dreamcast conversion, with one review calling it just shy of a perfect translation of the arcade original. It is fast, loud and immediate, built for short sessions and best times, and a reminder of how much fun it was to plug in a brand-new Dreamcast and watch a speedboat launch off a ramp in full 128-bit splendor.
