This community is to find that game you can't remember. Like it's on the tip of your tongue.
If you want to post, use this syntax:
[Platform][Estimated Year] A short description of the game.
Example:
[NES][1980]A man jumping on mushrooms
You can add a longer description in the Body. Preferably according to the template in the rules.
If your game is found, change the title by adding [Solved] in front of the title, and the game name. For example:
[Solved][NES][1980s] Super Mario Bros.
If you're not sure about any of the details you can add [Unknown] instead.
Rules:
- One game per post
- Mark your post if it's solved according to the above syntax
- Try using this template when posting:
Platform(s):
Genre:
Estimated year of release:
Graphics/art style:
Notable characters:

maybe megarace 2? https://store.steampowered.com/app/733760/MegaRace_2/ for screnshots etc. It does look quite rusty and gunky in that 90s 3d way
Does seemingly have a car called "Vipper" https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_e7039c00bf6dd7e601ee9dd8681a9516c6c4854a.1920x1080.jpg
edit: oh, the reward doors? https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_743a183a64b993def3bc62e66b59cbe761430d3b.1920x1080.jpg
Yes! This must be it. I did not expect it to be on Steam, I'll try it out. I forgot most of the interface, but it does being back memories.
That was quick, thanks so much.
I love this game. Horrible controls, bad car physics, but beautiful (for the time) pre-rendered FMV tracks and dumb cutscenes.
lots of old games on steam, but worth noting that it's on sale over at gog - generally old games tend to work better out-of-the-box from there, but YMMV
