    Looking for a name for a racing games i was playing as a kid

    hello. im new on the forums so bare with me

    im looking for a name for this racing game i was playing as a kid.

    you could drive a monster truck through courses as time attack but if you hit a pole you would lose time. you could drive as fast as possible while using turbo to get up at a ramp to see how far you could fly. you could also drive some kind of rally, you would also earn money from winning so you could buy new cars.

    hope this discription of the game can help you help me find this game. i would really appriciate it!

    EDIT: i believe its from the late 90's

    Dang, you make it hard to help you.

    Last guess from me: Test Drive Off-Road

    Check allgame for a list of games you can browse on your own. You'll probably have to switch between a lot of genres 'Misc. Racing, Rally Racing, etc' and sort by release date to narrow it down to the mid-late 90s. There were a TON of racing games then.

    Hell since were on the subject... I've been trying to remember the name of a game myself...

    Platform: PS1
    Genre: Futureistic, post war torn world

    One of the biggest things I remember from the game was having several different types of guns, the one I remember the most was a mindcontrol weapon that could be used on anyone in the game, make a personal army of pixelated citizens and soldiers. There were missions to infiltrate fenced in areas... It wasnt a FPS but like an airel view of the character and surroundings

    Besides getting a disc and/or ISO of the PSX version, and then using an emulator on your PC, there's also this option:

    http://syndicate.lubie.org/swars/htm...wpc_dosbox.php

    You'll be able to find used PC discs on Amazon, and surely elsewhere, like eBay; as for other means of grabbing it, I'm sure you'll know what to do.
