I actually remember sitting in a sandbox under a tree in kindergarten asking my big buddy if he'd ever play Jet Moto 2. this was way back in early '98 when i was just obsessed with videogames i still pass that same sand box when i'm walking home from school funnily enough the elementary school is right across the street from SB city college. it's as if i'm reverting back to my childhood cause I'm just getting into a lot of things from the past and then on Teen nick they started that whole 90's thing so that was just another blast from the past, hey Blast from the Past that could be a jm track title haha

I only remember one playthrough of Cliffdiver and Blackwater Falls on 2-player prior to owning my own copy of Jet Moto 2. However, I went to the local game trading shop as soon as I got my first PS1 (back about a year or two before the PS2 was released, so I was probably five then) and got a copy of Jet Moto 2. Since it was a copy of Championship Edition, I saw that all the tracks were already there. As such, I felt it necessary to have Nebulous be my first track, not restarting until I finished the first race. The time was roughly 13 and a half minutes by the time I finished, at which point I figured that maybe it was best to start on the easier tracks afterward.

My first time seeing Jet Moto was on a Playstation Underground demo disc. It was a Jet Moto 2 demo. It included Meltdown, back then called "Volcano"("Lava Flows?") I started it up and I was hooked! I could not get enough of the demo!
I think a year or two better, me and my papa were at Best Buy or some such and I happened to see it sitting on the top shelf in the electronics section. It was the Championship Edition and it was as if I had found the holy grail. I practically begged my dad to get it and in a shocking subversion of his normal "Fuck no. No question." parenting approach to stuff like that, he just shrugged and picked it up for me.
I played that game to death for at least a year. I didn't win any circuits or anything, hell, I don't think I ever came in any place beyond last, as I was only barely reaching the point where I played videogames for the game rather than just fucking around, but I played every single track endlessly just to see my character flipping and flying and zooming...It was the first game I ever had a direct hand in obtaining...

Many years ago me and a friend had Playstations and we liked to share games often. We liked to play his demo disc which had Armored Core and Jet Moto 2. I loved playing those two demos. Eventually I got JM2CE and played that to death. Started this site 2-ish years ago and that was that.

It was Christmas back in 1997 when I received my first gaming console of my own, the Playstation. With that, I received both Jet Moto 2 and 2Xtreme. I absolutely fell in love with JM2, and that got me into racing games in general (still my favorite genre to this day). The defining moment for me was over a year later in February 1999 when I beat Master season for the first time. The unfortunate part is that I've lost the memory card containing that file when I moved home from college after my last year there, but I will never forget it.

My first memory...
I should be between 3 and 6 years old. I remember having a double-sided CD case, with a damaged Jet Moto disc in one side, and, in the other one, a japanese fishing game called "Miracle Jim no Bassing Beat" (equally damged, but still working perfectly nowadays). Sadly, my Jet Moto had only two working tracks: JoyRide and Suicide Swamp (Black Water Falls worked too, but rarely).
At those times, I didn't understand the character photos. Specially Mace's photo, I never figured out that it was an upside-down person riding skis, LOL.
I think I only played in practice and two player modes. Sometimes my cousin played it with me, and most times in JoyRide (we really sucked in Suicide Swamp, and Black Water Falls worked only once, as I remember).
Even with this huge limitation, it was really fun to play through the available tracks, principally JoyRide. But I was never able to do that jump without hitting the damn trees XD. The awesome soundtrack just got stuck in my mind forever. =)

My dad and mom bought me Jet Moto for Valentines day. From that day forward I would play it with my dad multiple times over until Jet Moto 2 came out. Given it was mainly my dad beating them on the harder difficulties. I got so excited when I saw the commercial for Jet moto 2 and my dad went and picked it up as soon as he could.
Good memories. My sister would even play Jet Moto with us sometimes. Even had tournaments with friends. Ah the good ol' days.

Lucky. I was too good at the game, so no one wanted to play with me.

I remember first playing Jet Moto on my birthday back in 1998 when I received it as a present. I obsessed over it as a young lad and always wished the bikes truly existed. I still wish that to this day, it would be so cool to ride the Jet Moto bikes, and pretty intense as well.

As I was born August 12 1999, Jet Moto 3 was out (or almost...?) when I was only a baby. The good thing is my mom and her best friend (that I still know today and he is a good guy) were playing Jet Moto 2 like crazy at this time (it was the Championship Edition). So, just for fun, they've let me play Jet Moto 2 and Jet Moto 3 when I was about 2-3 for the first time. I sucked but I loved the games alot! Let me tell you, when you start playing a game by the age of 2 and at 14 years old it is still your favourite game, you end up being very good at it and making records at it! I remember being alot better at JM3 than JM2 and my mother and her friend beating the games, they were very good at the time but now, they lost their skills! It was always alot of fun. However, I got burgled at the age of 6-7 and lost all of my PS1 games, that I almost all rebought! The funny thing is, we never knew JM2 existed, we thought there was only JM2 : CE so when we bought the original game, we were very surprised by the results!

I really don't remember what year or what age was when I first heard Jet Moto.
But I remember when I first heard about it is at the sample video inside the Interactive CD Sampler Volume 3 that came along with the PlayStation of my cousin. Then when I finally brought the first Jet Moto, I was curious on why it doesn't look the same on the Sampler disk. Then only recently I found out that the one on the Sampler disk is actually the beta version of the first Jet Moto. Because of that I have grown to have a favorite hobby of looking and researching about beta video games and softwares.
