The Obscure Midnight Club Websites From 2000...

- The Obscure Midnight Club Websites From 2000... ► -
The first street racing game ever made, has a collection of websites for every instalment in the franchise, and all of them are still available and accessible today, however due to the discontinuation of Adobe Flash player at the end of this year, they won't be available for much longer... so I thought we should take a look at these obscure sites together...
