11 year old me played this gem over and over on a PC magazine demo disk. Tethering another racer at high speeds was super satisfying. I was never able to find and buy the game with my allowance but I've always wanted to revisit my nostalgia and experience the full title.
Found this game via shareware disc my friend had lent me, i may have spent more than a few more hours than i should on the game. Since i live in a country that rarely gets games unless we try to import them or get them through a relative i missed this game.
Great surf rock music, some of the most fun physics-driven grappling hook gameplay I've ever experienced, and a lot of creativity in tying things together. I forget the name of it but the combat mode was the key. Everything was fast and chaotic, and there was a lot of room for mastery in just getting around. I love this game so much
I absolutely loved this game, but it was about 6-10 years ahead of its time. It came out right at the dawn of multi-player gaming, but it was not ready to be played via LAN or online. They did release a patch to add networking multi-player, but it didn't work very well, and it was already a failed game at that point. But if this game had come out a few years later for the Dreamcast or the OG Xbox, it would have been a smash hit.
I enjoyed the single player aspect of this game. The idea of riding a rocket that shoots grappling hooks to turn was innovative gameplay at the time. And the fact that you could grapple other riders and rip them off of their rockets made it all even better. You could tell that the game was designed to be played with many rocket jockeys in the arena, but the internet and networking was simply not ready yet for home users.
there is an improved graphics remake out there called Rocket Jockey's that gives you almost the whole game. Its missing some characters and most important, LAN play.
Big problem with the original is that it appeared to use clock cycles from the CPU for timing. I remember trying to run it up on faster processors and the game play would be ridiculously fast to be unplayable. Sadly, Sega released it originally without LAN play, which is the best part. You could download it eventually. I think it would have been an instant hit with LAN included. but the delay was too long and peeps moved on.
I got this with an early 3D accelerator card and didn’t play it until years later. It has a surprising amount of depth and would be great fun with a controller and some friends.

BMX XXXBMX XXX is a 2002 video game published by Acclaim Entertainment under their AKA Acclaim banner for the Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2 and developed by Z-Axis. While primarily a BMX-based action sports title, it earned most of its notoriety for containing nudity, foul language and adult humor. The game allows the player to create female characters that are fully topless and view live-action video clips of real life strippers, also with bare breasts. Consequently, BMX XXX was initially denied classification in Australia. In North America, while the game is available uncensored on the GameCube and Xbox, all naked breasts are covered in the PlayStation 2 version. While the adult content garnered a great deal of publicity for the game, it was almost entirely negative, and it was eventually released to dismal reviews and poor sales.Open world Comedy Erotic
True Crime: Streets of LATrue Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.Open world Action Science fiction Stealth Sandbox

The Godfather: Blackhand EditionThe Godfather: Blackhand Edition, is the highest rated version of The Godfather on Gamerankings and IGN, despite not faring as well with other publications. It features 20 normal missions, ten new hit missions, a new rival family seen only in the new hit missions, rooftop battles, new favors, and other methods such as blackmail and bribery.
The Blackhand Edition adds a second path that the player may take through the game, that of the operator. The main method of progression is by blackmailing police, the FBI or members of other families, and what the player does or says affects the outcome. While the enforcer's goal is to destroy the other families through brute force, the operator's is to blackmail the police chiefs of the five boroughs by finding enough "dirt" on them during missions. The player then blackmails the chiefs, enabling the bribe gauge to fill to the top for free every time the player talks to the chief, effectively allowing the player to take control of the police in that area. The police fight alongside the player's family members and can also arrest or kill rival family members. The path of the operator also grants the player additional tactical abilities that are not open to the enforcer, such as enhanced and regenerating health, the ability to call in the four-man hit squad twice as often, enhanced crew damages and health, ability to plant car bombs and make instant stealth kills, and reduced price on bribing on the police and FBI.Open world Action
