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:
- One game per post
- Mark your post if it's solved according to the above syntax
- Try using this template when posting:
Platform(s):
Genre:
Estimated year of release:
Graphics/art style:
Notable characters:

maybe megarace 2? https://store.steampowered.com/app/733760/MegaRace_2/ for screnshots etc. It does look quite rusty and gunky in that 90s 3d way
Does seemingly have a car called "Vipper" https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_e7039c00bf6dd7e601ee9dd8681a9516c6c4854a.1920x1080.jpg
edit: oh, the reward doors? https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_743a183a64b993def3bc62e66b59cbe761430d3b.1920x1080.jpg
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.
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
I love this game. Horrible controls, bad car physics, but beautiful (for the time) pre-rendered FMV tracks and dumb cutscenes.
