"Midtown madness". I used to LOVE playing this game back in the day. No DLC and no bugs. You bought a game and it had everything you needed in it. The golden age of videogames was definitely the late 90's.

There's something about 90's-early 00's gaming that's just so peaceful. I used to play Microsoft Flight Sim 98/00/04 and continue to play FSX, and something about it's strangely detailed but simplistic graphics makes it seem so... warm and inviting. Much more than the intensely borked on about HD graphics of today. I still fly the same route I used to do back in 98/00 to this day. Portland Intl to SeaTac at dusk going into night, flying over the Olympics and seeing the sunset below the horizon, just so... easing and calming. We need this era of PC gaming back, gaming needs it.

When I saw the title, I clicked just to see if it might be Midtown Madness, and I about blew a blood vessel when I saw it!! I spent probably thousands of hours in this game as a kid. There was a huge modding scene with many thousands of custom vehicles and maps. I even learned how to make my own maps at one point...maybe that's actually where I got my first 3D modelling experience now that I think about it?? Utterly wild. I wish Microsoft never would have abandoned the series, but I guess it would be competing with Forza Horizon now if it did exist

I thought at first that this was just something you made in some engine, then I thought maybe this is some form of Carmageddon mod, then I recognised the barrier at 0:56 like for sure I've played a game with that, then the wheels of the van at 1:13 made me think this was Driver, but I couldn't remember if Driver had pedestrians, then I recognised the way the pedestrians run and stand against the walls at 1:43, and I thought, is this Crazy Taxi or something? Then finally I scrolled down and saw this was Midtown Madness. Insane. I actually still have an original copy of Midtown Madness on an Autosimulators 2000 CD. Like a dozen games on the disk, Driver, Rollcage, Midtown Madness, god knows what else. Crazy to think that it's been so long since I've thought about this game that I couldnt even recognise it, and even crazier how all the aforementioned games seemed to blend together in my memory of them. Man, watching this video was such a trip. Things were so different back then. Thanks for posting this.
