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
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).

BMX XXXBMX XXX is a 2002 video game published by Acclaim Entertainment under their AKA Acclaim banner for the Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2 and developed by Z-Axis. While primarily a BMX-based action sports title, it earned most of its notoriety for containing nudity, foul language and adult humor. The game allows the player to create female characters that are fully topless and view live-action video clips of real life strippers, also with bare breasts. Consequently, BMX XXX was initially denied classification in Australia. In North America, while the game is available uncensored on the GameCube and Xbox, all naked breasts are covered in the PlayStation 2 version. While the adult content garnered a great deal of publicity for the game, it was almost entirely negative, and it was eventually released to dismal reviews and poor sales.Open world Comedy Erotic
Midtown MadnessMidtown Madness (also known as Midtown Madness: Chicago Edition) is a racing game developed for Windows by Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego) and published by Microsoft. The demo version was released via download on May 1, 1999 and the completed game was released toward the end of May 1999.[1] Two sequels followed, with Midtown Madness 2 released in September 2000 and Midtown Madness 3 released in June 2003 for the Xbox. The game is set in Chicago and its objective is to win street races and obtain new cars.
Unlike racing games that restrict the player to a race track, Midtown Madness offers an open world recreation of Chicago. This setting was said to provide "an unprecedented degree of freedom to drive around in a virtual city".[2] Players can explore the city via one of several modes, and can determine the weather and traffic conditions for each race. The game supports multiplayer races over a local area network or the Internet. The game received generally positive reviews from gaming websites.[3]Open world Action
