Street Rod 2 (PC/DOS) 1990, California Dreams

[@treysammons4248]

I remember playing this for hours in the computer room at my grandmas. Seems like a lifetime ago

[@CanadianCarlos]

My childhood in a nutshell. This and stunts.

[@andrewr681]

Stunts was the best game growing up, this game was pretty good aswell, but stunts and being able to make your own tracks and loops etc, good old days

[@fcukugimmeausername]

You lived in a nutshell?

[@raccoon681]

@@fcukugimmeausername It was a 90's fad

[@sebastiankulche]

@@andrewr681 Stunts imo was the best racing game in the era until 1998 with NFS3. Stunts aged so well, is still one of the best of its genre.

It's obvious this is an old game, but for a 27 year old game, the graphics are actually pretty good. I miss playing this game.

[@RussoSkate]

This game needs a remake

[@TerryDZ28]

@@RussoSkateI fear it would be horrible and overdone. The simplicity and execution of the original made it a classic!

[@joeMW284]

For real.. playing this when I was 8 got me into cars.

[@dand6298]

Loved this game! We used to play this during Intro to technology class on the school Pc's. I hope a cell phone version can be made. I would totally buy! Gotta love the 90's!

[@gmdhighvoltage]

Quite after a few years, but you can totally play it on mobile via dosbox emulator (both android and ios got one that works great).

[@chadbaier9752]

My boss be catching me at work playing this if it was an app

One of the best DOS games of all time

This game was super cool. The vehicle customization feature was quite innovative for the time!

[@sebastianviacava743]

Here you have the origins of NFSU2!!! LOL

[@97marqedman]

Goddamn I loved that game. Awesome memories of sitting at the old IBM 8088 pc, home from school on a snow day, racing and modding cars for hours on end. Those were the days. Sigh.

[@danieldorn2927]

Press F to pay respects.

[@raccoon681]

the driving sim part suffers from early 3d but this game is more about building up the car and that holds up well

[@gmdhighvoltage]

Totally, still a great game you can have fun with (+ street rod 1). For it’s years, holds up great.

[@skippylamont1568]

why is there still no remake.. could be a great short tablet game..or online

[@CantTreadOnMe]

Nope now I know for sure this is actually the game not the 89 version. This is the game of my childhood and boy was it special. Losing on pink slips hurt so bad though not gonna lie, I broke a few mouses. I was very young like 7-8 years old but played this game for years.

[@Tepaistos]

I remember we had this on our school computer and they let us play this when it was too cold or too rainy to go out on recess so all of the boys gathered around to play this :D

Fight over the computer I'm sure

[@matthewdowning6955]

I played this in high school.i remember buy a 65 or 66 pontiac lemans and trying to put in a chevy 427 in it.

[@Yahowah777]

Always dreamed they would do a remake. Never understood why others didn't copy it and modernize the concept because it's simple and the car building and pink slip etc was super addictive. Still playable today. Imagine a version with today's graphics.

[@cessnadreams8258]

Someone started a more 3d version as street rod 3 but never completely finished the game. It can be played is more in depth with the engine building but they never finished it

[@samilaakso2928]

Man I always thought the same, this would still be a great game if someone just updated the graphics. Actually more in-depth engine building sounds fun too :)

[@noway1576]

There is Car mechanic simulator, it has a few driving around mechanics not much.

[@magodelaoscuridad]

The problem is all mistake the concept and fall in complex mecha or tuning and the real addictive concept are the immersion feeling, going to bar, to gas, feeling interact with others like you, feeling read press, feeling buying cars

[@NOTHlNG]

Think about NFS Underground which used a somewhat similar concept only with less mechanical stuff and more modern cars. Then there is Gran Turismo (used/new cars - even oldtimers, buy parts, oil change, messing with the setups, racing, etc) but yeah, neither caught (not even tried) the exact same "old california feeling". Imagine an NFS Underground 3. if it has the same setting, same classic cars and music from that era but with nitrous and police presence. It could be called as "ProStreet Rod". :)

Dang, thanks for posting, they had this and Oregon trail on my middelschools computer system back in the early 90s, they tried to get the babe in the skirt in the opening picture and the calender girls removed from the game, but couldnt, so then they took they game down. But some computer savy kids kept reinstalling it. Then they just only let us play this if we were done with all of our work. As a Vette guy i loved the black c3, not sure if i ever beat him though..

Whats the strategy in the timed drag race?

[@checs]

Start with a slow first run (the one you do alone). Next ones must be faster than the first one, and always winning the leg.

[@turmoil23]

@@checs isnt it the other way around? dont you need to make your time or lower? i remember that you couldnt go faster than your 1st run. I can be mistaken.

[@checs]

oh you're so right. I was writing half sleep last night. First run fast as you can. Then the other ones must be slower. I ussually wait some seconds on the green light while watching my rival go, then push the gas without hesitating.
