I discovered this game when I first got Windows 98. There may have been better racing games at the time, but I loved the soundtrack and the videos when you won or lost a race. Many years later I found out that the game had been designed for the 3DO, that's when I discovered that forgotten console.
I've been looking everywhere on Steam to find a game that recreates this, for lack of having the original, i did find some games that have the same concept, but without online, and i'm here thinking, why can't we have a new Road Rash or similar game with online? wouldn't this be hilarious with friends ?? COME ON, let's bring back the original on GOG !
This was one of my most favorite PC games as a kid! I remember getting it at Costco for like $8 (thanks to my parents, of course) and between the intro cinematic's gunning of the engines, the dumb FMV cutscenes, and a killer soundtrack, I was hooked. I have a deep association between this game and Third Eye Blind's Self-Titled. Mainly because it was the first time I found out how to play music from my computer within a game that was running.
Can't imagine a childhood that did not contain slugging it out on Rat Bikes, kicking every opponent down, stealing chains and escaping from the police. The movies were the big-fat-cherry cherry on the icing. Easily #1 on list of games that need to make a nitro-speed comeback. Easy winner, particularly the '94 edition.
I only played the PS1 version and I don't know if the 3DO release is any different. But the original is unplayable on PC. Because that reason is, the game is f@#king old. Sheesh. I hope Nightdive could remaster it, but since they're busy remastering System Shock 2 and SiN Remaster, I think my only hope is GOG. Played it with an Emulator recently and it's....not great. The menu is capped at 2-6FPS, WTF?! So yeah, I have to move it SLOWLY.
One of the games I've played the most in my life. Every race is a different story to tell. But re-releasing the game as it was is practically impossible, I think. EA will never want to pay royalties for the music. Even the Mega Drive games had the original music removed when re-released on EA Replay (PSP)...
The game that defined an entire generation! This was an absolute gem back in the early 2000s when computers were running in the XPs and 98. It’s a shame it’s not available on platforms like GOG yet; nostalgia alone makes it a game worth playing again.
Believe it or not, but I would actually pay a Genuine 100$ "US" for a remaster not a remake, as long as it will be guaranteed to deliver the same everything AGAIN! ,not paying for any in game purchases/cosmetics or anything like that though, you all know what I'm talking about....

The Godfather: Blackhand EditionThe Godfather: Blackhand Edition, is the highest rated version of The Godfather on Gamerankings and IGN, despite not faring as well with other publications. It features 20 normal missions, ten new hit missions, a new rival family seen only in the new hit missions, rooftop battles, new favors, and other methods such as blackmail and bribery.
The Blackhand Edition adds a second path that the player may take through the game, that of the operator. The main method of progression is by blackmailing police, the FBI or members of other families, and what the player does or says affects the outcome. While the enforcer's goal is to destroy the other families through brute force, the operator's is to blackmail the police chiefs of the five boroughs by finding enough "dirt" on them during missions. The player then blackmails the chiefs, enabling the bribe gauge to fill to the top for free every time the player talks to the chief, effectively allowing the player to take control of the police in that area. The police fight alongside the player's family members and can also arrest or kill rival family members. The path of the operator also grants the player additional tactical abilities that are not open to the enforcer, such as enhanced and regenerating health, the ability to call in the four-man hit squad twice as often, enhanced crew damages and health, ability to plant car bombs and make instant stealth kills, and reduced price on bribing on the police and FBI.Open world Action

Midtown Madness 3Midtown Madness 3 is an open world racing/arcade sequel, part of the Midtown Madness series. For the first time in the series, the game was released only on the Xbox, with a Windows version rumoured for later release, but ultimately scrapped.[citation needed]
The game was developed by DICE (of Battlefield 1942 fame) and published by Microsoft Game Studios. This marked a change from the developer of the first two games, Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego). Coincidentally, Midtown Madness 3 was released in 2003 against Midnight Club II, created by the developer of the first two games, Rockstar San Diego.
The Xbox-only release and change of developer heralded a significant graphical improvement to maintain the console's graphical standards.Open world
