This game is an absolute classic. It is known as Fatal Racing where I came from (UK) but I believe the game is identical apart from that.
The tracks were legendary, and it was a hoot in split screen multiplayer. One of the end tracks is just pure bonkers, with moving ramps and narrow canyon walls. I've never had a game quite scratch the itch that this game left behind. I can only describe it as a more realistic (slower paced) TrackMania, with touring cars, racing teams, brutal AI at times, and car damage meter to worry about.
Pure brilliance from Gremlin.
I want this game on GoG so that more people can enjoy it, including my kids. I managed to get DosBox working with it, so it shouldn't be too hard. Although, I can't get the 3dfx version to work, so I am sure with a little GoG restorative magic, this game will return to former glory.
WHIPLASH!!! (Fatal Racing in Europe) This game had so much good crazy 90's arcade energy that new racing games lack of. Stuff what makes this game so unforgettable : Crazy tracks (jumps,corkscrews and loops), Fatalities, Over the top announcer,Team strategy(you can give orders to your team member to slow down and bash other drivers). Theres 24 total tracks full of twists and turns and 8 teams with own cars. Multiplayer is fun (only tried split screen). Game is rough on the edges (framerate), but I think it is really fun and it is one of the most unique arcade racers for pc. I keep reinstalling this game with DOSBOX many times. Whiplash/Fatal Racing needs to be experienced. GOG needs to add this !!
It's the best racing game from the 90s, a hidden gem, most famous under the name Fatal Racing in Europe. 20 cars on the track, each with it's own AI which was pretty convincing for the days.
This game is insane. Loops, Jumps, pits, challenging AI, secret codes for more tracks(Goldboy,MrBonus anyone?) What is there NOT to love about this game. Played this back in college and with friends with a LAN setup. Such a hoot with everyone. Not sure why this HASNT been made available yet. All other Interplay games have been. Let's hope we see this soon!
This game is my childhood, the version I played, Fatal Racing, had Brazilian Portuguese narration and to this day I still remember the `woahhh` when going through loops and stuff. Never rereleased in any way, but I'm happy to see it here in this list.
Need for Speed: Carbon - Own the CityAlthough this version of Need for Speed: Carbon - Own the City shares its name with its counterparts, the game is completely different. Unlike the other versions there is no canyon racing or drift racing.
The goal of the game is to build up a gang of the best racers and take over all the city's territories. The driving is all city-based similar to the open world of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. The tuner culture/car customization features started in Need for Speed Underground are also present.
There is a light story, presented as comic book style illustrations, that unfolds as the player take over territories and complete chapters.Sandbox

The Hot Pursuit mode combines all the major elements of the competitive mode with the chance to out run the cops.

Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.Trending Action
