When I bought my first PC in 1998, when I was 15 years old for all the confirmation money I had gotten, I got two games with it; this and Starcraft. I loved the soundtrack, the graphics and the speed. I would love to play the game again. There used to be a Playstation 1 port on Steam, but it's gone, but that one was bad compared to PC version.
Jedna z tych gier: od zera do kierowcy wyścigowego. Trasy futurystyczne, muzyka futurystyczna, samochody technologicznie i wyglądowo futurystyczne, nawet słabe auta na początku. Ciekawie jest zrobiona kariera w tej grze. Wygrywasz kolejne serie wyścigów, odblokuję się 3 samochody po każdej serii wyścigów. Jak przegrasz, a masz odblokowane nowe samochody w karierze, to je 3 tracisz. W ostatnim wyścigu masz 10 okrążeń i ścigasz się z najszybszym samochodem Serpent, owalna trasa. Jest trudna. Jak się wygra z tym Serpentem, to nie dość, że odblokowuje się tą trasę owalną i jeszcze 1 inną, to wygrywasz samochód Serpent. Koniec końców przeszedłem całą grę. Jest też multiplayer, tylko brak danych, co tam się dzieje. Tryb zręcznościowy. Można zmieniać kolory aut i znacznika w wyścigu. Brak tuningu (osiągów i wizualnego), a mimo to świetnie się przy tym bawiłem i bawię nadal, choć grę przeszedłem kilka razy. Grafika się zesstarzała, nowi mogą się w tym nie odnaleźć.
The graphics (best graphics for its time!), the music, the cars, the steering... But most of all the vibe and ambience of this game was second to none. It felt like Blade Runner but in a racing game. Such a shame that on Steam you could only get the PS1 version which needless to say was inferior to the awesome PC version.
For this game, if it was restored to its original level I would easily and without hesitation pay 50-60 euros. So go ahead GOG, you would add a fantastic game to your racing games library and make a lot of people happy.
Motorhead for PC is a true nostalgic gem that perfectly captures the spirit of '90s gaming. The game’s vibrant 3D graphics were groundbreaking for its time, offering detailed textures, dynamic lighting, and a sense of depth that made each race feel fast and immersive. What really made Motorhead unforgettable, though, was its killer soundtrack and ambience.
The game’s tracks, set in urban landscapes, deserts, and coastal regions, had a distinctly futuristic feel, with towering structures, glowing lights, and innovative details like passing trains and zeppelins that added to the immersive experience. The dynamic lighting and reflections were ahead of their time, enhancing the sense of speed and creating a vibrant, almost otherworldly environment.
Paired with a techno and trance soundtrack, Motorhead captured the essence of a fast-paced, futuristic world where racing wasn't just about competition, it was about experiencing a thrilling, futuristic dream. The game remains a nostalgic favorite for many, transporting players back to a time when gaming was full of fresh, exciting experiences.
They used to have the demo for this game on one of the computers back when I was in Kindergarten, which I remember playing a lot back then. I remembered those fond memories years later but it took me ages to figure out what the game was even called. Sad to see that it's so difficult to find these days, I'd love to see it made available again.

The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.Trending Action
