My good friend Steven had this game on PC. I would play it at his house. It was a stupid game (like sim copter), but this one was car based, and it had a different vibe. It was preGTA3, so this was first. My family computer only had 120MHz, so it was not powerful enough to run it, but I always wanted to. Its the stupid kind of fun you can have when you and your best friend get together and a video game gives you a rocket launcher. Fun WILL be had.
The gameplay and style of this game was just great. Decking out cars with absurd weapons and taking to the streets (including custom cities from SimCity 2000) was just way fun. That and some crazy fun cheats, like changing the gravity, just made it really enjoyable. Would love to see it come back.
When I was a kid, my family got a bundle pack containing this game along with SimCopter, SimTower, SimSafari, and SimIsle. This game in particular was one of the first vehicular combat games I've played and I have plenty of fond memories of it.
I used to love this game when i was a kid hours of fun just messing with simcity urban renewal kit and driving blowing stuff up. DOing the missions and making cars fly pure choas! for 10 year old me!
Easily one of the most broken games I ever had when I was a kid, but when it DID work, it was actually a lot of fun. The soundtrack is awesome, and having different radio stations that you can choose to experience the different parts of the soundtrack was unheard of anywhere else in 1997.
Are there better road rage type games? There sure are! They're already available on GOG, so let's get this also-ran here as well!
Guys! go vote in SimCity Creator it was added by me in GOG Dreamlist, SimCity Creator is a underrated SimCity game and was pretty unique and a thing it have more than 20 disasters in the game the biggest in the franchise, man i would really love seeing it have a PC and GOG port!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
