This was one of those games I played alot on the old HP Pavion 5040. A weak machine a few years later, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. Just like this game. Sure, it may not be the best game in the world. Or the deepest. But you know what? Monster Trucks are just kind of fun. Oh, and don't forget. Grave Digger....is doing it.....IN THE AIR!
Monster Truck Madness was probably the main inspiration that got me hooked on racing games at the age of 5. It was likely the very first racing game my brother and I played on PC, even before Crash Team Racing on the PS1 and Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2. We never had the full game, but the demo was included on the Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 game disc. Man, writing this story actually triggered the game’s soundtrack playing in my head!
My very first PC came bundled with this and 30 other CDs (where did the time go?). I had never played a racing game before, let alone one with monster trucks but I was hooked. The interweaving course layouts, the caffeine-addicted announcer and the arcade physics made it fun from start to finish. (On a tangent, my love of this game was such that when I heard that they were going to do the same thing with dirtbikes I made sure my parents gave it to me for my birthday.) Sure the graphics are....pretty chunky by today's standards but if this could get the Nightdive TLC package it could fit right in with the other retro titles being released today.
Those games also need your vote!
