Rollcage by ATD/Psygnosis

The reason there's no music is because it was stored as CD audio on the original disc.

I have the original CD of this. Never played it though.

Played this on a LAN back in the day... decent game but it is actually hard as hell to control at those kinda speeds. The reason I don't like that is that it then becomes about who knows the tracks best.... yeah yeah, I know, what else do I expect from a racing game. But what I mean in, in a lot of racers you can be 'reactive', you know, see a bend coming up and control your vehicle accordingly. Whereas in Rollcage by the time you've seen what's coming up, it's too late to do anything about it sometimes.

The soundtrack to this game is one of my favourite game soundtracks of ALL time!

The best song is EZ Rollers - Tough at the Top, when it "drops" its so good!

It's one of those games where you've got to memorize the course and turn in on blind faith that the corner is where you think it is if you want the fastest time.

I love that kind of game.

I thought the sequel was superior to be honest, although I would love to play either online

True, but it does mean you feel like a complete badass when you manage to pull it off.
