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:

  1. One game per post
  2. Mark your post if it's solved according to the above syntax
  3. Try using this template when posting:

Platform(s):

Platform: PC (windows 95/98?)

Genre: Racing, vehicular combat

Estimated year of release: mid to late '90s?

Graphics/ art style: '90s quality 3D rendering. It had a bit of a dark and rusty look. I don't think the cars were realistically designed.

Notable characters: one of the cars you could pick might be called viper.

Notable gameplay mechanics: racing, option to get a weapon on your car, after a win you get to pick one of three doors to reveal your prize.

Other details: -

Edit: Original post title: [PC][1990's]Rusty racing game w/ Monty Hall prize doors

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
