There is also a multiplayer deathmatch battle mode. There are six race tracks, four stunt arenas, eight battle arenas, and one unlockable obstacle course named The Gauntlet.

Why San Francisco Rush 2049 Needs to Be on GOG – The Best Midway Racing Game Ever
San Francisco Rush 2049 is a legendary arcade racer that defined an era of over-the-top driving games — and it absolutely deserves a home on GOG. Developed by Midway, this futuristic sequel to the Rush series pushed the boundaries of what racing games could be, combining speed, creativity, and pure adrenaline into one unforgettable experience.
What made Rush 2049 so special was its unique blend of racing and stunt mechanics. Set in a futuristic version of San Francisco, the game featured massive jumps, gravity-defying loops, hidden shortcuts, and interactive track elements. Most notably, cars came equipped with wings that allowed players to glide through the air, creating opportunities for stunts, aerial control, and mind-blowing tricks. No other racing game of its time offered this level of freedom.
The game wasn’t just about reaching the finish line. Its stunt mode was a fan-favorite, allowing players to earn points for wild flips and tricks. Battle mode brought chaotic multiplayer combat to the table, adding replayability and party-game appeal. The futuristic visuals, catchy soundtrack, and tight controls helped solidify it as a complete and polished arcade package.
Bringing Rush 2049 to GOG would preserve this piece of arcade history and make it playable on modern PCs with controller support, online multiplayer options, and GOG’s DRM-free philosophy. It’s more than nostalgia — it’s about honoring a game that broke boundaries and continues to inspire arcade racing fans today. Simply put, Rush 2049 is Midway’s greatest racing masterpiece.

XGIII: Extreme G RacingXGIII: Extreme G Racing is a futuristic racing game. Six teams are competing to win a racing championship, the player taking control of any of the two riders available in each team. The game retains the action elements of the previous titles: as before, opponents will try to sabotage the race, and the player-controlled character is able to answer them with his own arsenal of weapons.
Unlike the previous installments, weapons cannot be picked up on the road: the player has to purchase them with the money earned after a successful race. All weapons now deplete the player's weapon bar with each shot. Another change is the absence of the "nitro" boosts utilized in the previous entries; they have been replaced with a turbo system, where using the boost drains energy from the player character's shields.

Burnout 2: Point of ImpactBurnout is a street racing game focused around speed and crashing. Unlike many games which focus on closed course driving, you get to drive through cities with real traffic and city infrastructure. Designers have built an entire city and surrounding areas, and implement the race courses throughput the countie's streets. As a result, many times certain parts of race-courses interlace with other parts of other races. As well, instead of encouraging strategic driving and safe driving, Burnout strongly encourages offensive driving. Driving on the wrong side of the road, barely missing passing traffic, drifting, and jumps all add to your boost "burnout" meter. Speed boosts and jumps aid your attempt to dive past buses, trucks and anything else that gets in the way. The more offensive and dangerous your driving is, the more boost you get!Action
