Hours of fun riding crazy vehicles in reckless races around open maps. Trucks, 6 wheeled bathtub, helicopter, inflatable boat, and many more. Lots of memories in split-screen with friends sharing one side of the keyboard

This is such a great racing game. Free movement, weird humorous commentary, exploding cars. But yeah, the freedom was awesome. And many classes of vehicles: monster trucks, jeeps, boats, helicopters, mini's, lorries. Awesome!
Came bundled with a PENTIUM 4 computer after purchasing and just had a BLAST! It wasn't that great on the GRAPHICS side but it blew my mind when I was a KID . .!

As a child, I yearned for open track boundaries. Well, that and chaotic multiplayer that tests human bonds. This game delivers both with a big bucket of whimsy. When friends are over, don't make 'em play any old mainstream "kart" racer--give 'em _total_ friendship destruction. Give 'em Big Red Racing.

As a child, I spent hours on the two tracks of the demo, trying to do the most incredible stunts ever. Physics and real 3D where such amazing at this time and it worked so well on my 486 computer. Then I finally bought the full game in its big box, to discover more circuits and vehicle, but also a wonderful soundtrack that was embedded as audio CD tracks.

I remember ordering this game on Special Reserve a mail-order catalog featured in UK gaming magazines in the 1990s. I had taken a month to get delivered but wow I loved this game as soon as I played it, Remember going off track to see what secrets lay beyond the track. Fun racing game.

I just remember the feeling I had as a young person playing this. The best part of it all was to try all the cool vehicles, and trying to explore the world beyond the tracks (which usually didn't work but a young player might still try to get more mileage out of the game).

This game was a huge part of my childhood — pure chaos, absurd humor, and unforgettable tracks across bizarre planets. Big Red Racing is a perfect example of how much fun can be packed into a game made with limited resources: creative, wild, and full of personality. Please bring this gem to GOG! The nostalgia it evokes is beyond words. It truly deserves a second life on modern systems

James Bond 007: From Russia with Love
James Bond 007: From Russia with LoveJames Bond 007: From Russia with Love is a video game featuring Ian Fleming's secret agent, James Bond. The game is based on the 1957 novel and the 1963 film of the same name, albeit adding in new scenes to make the game more action-oriented, as well as changing the affiliation of the main villains. Additionally, it features many elements of earlier Bond films to recreate the feel of the era such as the jet pack from Thunderball (1965) and the Aston Martin DB5 that debuted in Goldfinger (1964). From Russia with Love is also notable in that it is the first video game to use Sean Connery's likeness as James Bond and the first to include all new voice work by the actor. From Russia with Love is the last James Bond video game EA Games marketed before they lost the rights to Activision in 2006.

Jet Set Radio HD
Jet Set Radio HDJet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game. Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about. Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.

007 Racing
007 RacingIn 007 Racing you can get behind the wheel of James Bond's car. You must complete missions which range from collecting an object and getting out alive, to much harder and more complicated things. Your car is armed with many weapons including mines, rockets, lasers, smokescreens, and more. Then, if you get bored playing alone, you can eliminate your opponent in multiplayer missions where you have to destroy the other car, or a game mode called "Pass the Bomb", where you must pass the bomb to the other car by touching it before you blow up.

Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller
Crazy Taxi 3: High RollerAfter New York, what city could be screwy enough for a CRAZY TAXI game? You guessed it, an amped-up version of Las Vegas serves as the backdrop for this chapter in this ultra-tense driving game. As with previous series installments, the object of the game is to collect as much fare money as possible by picking up and delivering passengers at record speeds. You'll have to create a few shortcuts of your won in order to win, and that will mean causing a few crashes and knocking down a few buildings.
