The Best Racing Game You Probably Forgot

Something you have forgotten in Burnin Rubber 3 here is that the combat racing game called Death Rally also has firearms and equipments on the cars.

[@arandominternetperson4462]

These games were my childhood. Especially BR4 and BR5. I didn't know BR6 was in development, nor the existence of BR Multiplayer. Nice video and thanks for the update on the series!

[@Lesturn]

Played a crap ton of burnin rubber games back when shockwave's website was still up, great of you to cover this classic!

[@TallTapper]

it is stil up but doesnt have shockwave games anymore

[@vertigoray5]

[@117johnpar]

0:45 Hell yeah, Porsche unleashed OST

[@sharpededgeentertainment]

this game is the real banger back then i legit found out about these games starting with 3 when i was 4 years old and that i just looked up web games to play, and somehow i completed them at that time. 5 felt like a triple a game back then, it was heavily content riddled, wide car selection, and had a lot of fun with putting my team of military boss vehicles in the garage just to see them constantly explode because of how much they've been clipping onto each other glad to see someone big has covered it!

[@DethFaux]

I remember playing the Rally Point games. Also, my mom collected the Initial D bodies for the Zip-Zaps

[@eurikadude]

Ahh flash games, I always felt a sense of coziness and humbleness about them

[@tehangrybird345]

Man you just unlocked a core childhood memory! I used to love playing Burnin Rubber 4 on my Grandma’s computer.

[@elvishendrix676]

BR4 is absolutely goated. As a kid, an open world racing game with actual progression system and customization options that you can play On the freaking web seemed so cool to me. Felt like a mini Need for Speed or something haha. This brings me way back. Thanks for this video.

[@StriderStryker]

Did you mention the Burnin’ Rubber series? The third entry was a masterpiece! I’m glad that I’m not the only one who played this game since the 2010 era.

[@Fastminer07]

this video was on the Burnin Rubber series

[@quancena5772]

These games have been locked in my memory, i only remembered playing them, paint jobs for certain cars or parts of a track, i can't believe i found them again thanks to you

[@nideko4384]

Your story with these games is almost the exact same as mine, what a nostalgia trip! Family not having a lot of money, time period, the XP computer, all the websites, the "introduction game" to the BR series... Honestly I thought that nobody would ever remember these games, let alone make a video on them. I spent so many hours on these flash game websites that even my 2000+ hours now in some games would probably pale in comparison.

[@retrocar7761]

Thanks for this video, I kept searching for a racing flash game that had a R34 Skyline and BMW M6 for years and years, now I finally know what its called, I played the first Burnin Rubber so many times back in the day.

[@Jireninyourrecommendations]

I remember having nostalgia of burnin rubber 3 a year ago and decided to download it for the fun of it. Couple weeks later, I found out that there was a hard mod for it and downloaded it. Best and worst decision I have made.

[@Only_Habibi]

After all these years, Burnin Rubber 6 is in the works!

[@NateHotshot]

This made me remember a car game that i played the hell out as a kid but totally forgot about: crashday. that was fun, racing and you could have guns, a track creator i spent evenings on. good times.

[@samanimations2002]

Hope the algorithm blows this up for your brother, this was amazing and gave me a nostalgia trip

This is very well done and a good trip down memory lane with these games :] And I still remember how fucking hard the dumbass truck boss fight was in BR 3 and how it would get stuck in that one turn and barraged him with missiles lolll I think this is the only video about BURNIN RUBBER series like this. Fucking awesome dude

[@barrupa]

That small scene from the rc cars leaving the garage at 22:58 reminded me of a memory I thought was long lost. Thanks. I knew the "Redline Rumble" name sounded familiar.

[@dwayne3191]

Excellent overview and analysis. The Burnin’ Rubber series provided so much nostalgic fun and injected ‘soul’ into the racing, worlds, and awesome weapons. It’s a hidden or forgotten gem amongst other Flash racing games. I’d like to see how Burnin’ Rubber 6 turns out.

[@sirihatfir]

I really miss the days of web games, sure it wasn't amazing to setup but it was fun for sure.

[@RDGamer321]

This is one of those games from my middle school days where I don't remember playing it but I recognize the visuals and know that I have played it at some point. The weapons, menus, powerups, and gameplay are all familiar to me.

[@slothvole]

You should check out burnin rubber 5 mods, most notably burnin rubber 5a made by mars jetblack. It completely redesigns burnin rubber 5s campaign, adds dual guns like in 3 and 4, and alot more including flying helicopters. I have some old videos on it if your curious

[@erichh1995]

i remember playing burnin rubber and other flash racing games when i was like 3/4 years old, i'm almost 19 years old and most of them still have a special place in my heart forever

[@dr.cicerodark5985]

About time burnin rubber, getting the recognition it deserves. I used to watch a bunch of burnin rubber videos when I was younger, just seeing cars with guns shooting up each other blowing up. It just seemed so awesome to me back then. This game even gave me my love for car combat games. With it still my favorite game Genre to this day.

[@dorakizz5650]

This is truly was a well done video! The only Burnin' Rubber game you forgot to mention in your video was BR: Catapult, but it's fine because it's not that important anyways

[@zlette]

I used to play Traffic Slam all of the time as a child. And yes I mean the original. I have no idea where it is anymore and I really wish I could play it again. That was one addicting game to play.. I also played Burning Rubber 3 so so SOO MUCH! However, there was one game I played, and I loved this game, and I was crushed to find it was no longer available. The game was called Carbon Combat. It was a multiplayer, shooter, driving game. Where you take a car that can fly (with a similar animation to what you would see in Back to the Future Pt.2) and with a gun on the top of the car. It had TDM, CTF, DM, and likely other gamemodes too. I loved that game and honestly wish I could play it again.

[@AdrielBGaming]

Nice to see you did a retrospective on our childhood games, good video!

[@Razer_Dash]

You actually forgot about another one: Burnin Rubber Cartapult. In it, you catapult cars into traffic and see how many points you get. It was... interesting. Sadly, due to Miniclip (The one's who had this game up) moved to mobile only, Burnin Rubber Cartapult is now an lost media in a way.

[@raythepony]

Despite owning an Xbox 360 and a copy of Forza Motorsport 3 at the time, I don't think it's a stretch to say I spent more time playing the Burnin' Rubber games, on my low spec laptop at the time. I think a part of that, is because I could view the cars as characters, rather than phony licensed cars and I thought guns on cars was cool. The only game I can think of, that provides the same experience (at least to me) is Gas Guzzlers Extreme.

Everything is good, but I wanted to add 2 things when you talked about the web plugins and Shockwave at the start. First is that notable 3D games of the era were on Shockwave, as Unity came way later down the line. And secondly I have no idea how you combined the plugins and the sites owners over the years into one, in which, as I understand, you talked about the plugin, since the site was a seperate thing.

[@Fastminer07]

They are separate things, but the Site was originally created by Macromedia and was called ShockRave

[@Fastminer07]

And I think I made that misconception about Unity because I came into Flash games in the late 2000's and early 2010's, and by then there were a ton of Unity games

[@Titas21]

@@Fastminer07 I know it was started by Macromedia, but it was weird the way it was put together, because it was still a seperate thing. And on the Unity, Id say from my expierence early 2010 was just when it started popping off, as I can t even really remember or tell any games before 2010 that ran on it.
