Same! Me and my brother were dying!

The same feature is in ATV Offroad Fury on the PS2. I'd nearly pee myself laughing when the rider gets flung back. *"Aaaaauuuuggghhhhhh...."* It's also in MX vs. ATV All Out.

I'm so glad me and my buddy weren't alone in this. ^^

They kept doing that out of bounds feature in later games. MX Unleashed had it and so did early MX vs ATV games, I haven't tested if Legends has it or not.

Best feature in a game ever

MX Unleashed had it too

@MireGoji yeah, saw that in the vid. Never played it tho

ATV Off Road Fury 1 - 3 had it also.

I knew that from ATV Offroad Fury on my PS2. It was endlessly amusing as a kid

I think pretty much every off-road motocross game has had this feature.

RIP Robb, thanks for the fun

I think Robb is the one narrating this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rciercak27e4pp8.html He was fairly active in the mcm2 forums with us back then, didnt know he passed away, RIP.

RIP Robb. Thanks for the fun experiences you unknowingly sent the way of a solitary Indian teenager in the 2000s who had no friends other than his computer in his room.

Yup brings back memories of MIDTOWN MADNESS.

@@DimitriosChannel brings me back to flight simulator 98 lol

No doubt I saw that playing Age of Empires 1 but wonder if it was still being used when I was playing Allegiance and Crimson Skies in 2000.

@@bothellkenmoreCrimson Skies had it in 30FPS.

My copy came with a sidewinders motion controller thing

I came to post that all 3 madness games were awesome! Monster Truck, Midtown, and Motocross!

Midtown Madness was mint!

And Monster truck madness. Got the cops called on me and my friend in my apartment as we were playing late and night and laughing too loud at a glitch that would cause one of our trucks to fly off into the sky.

Amazing

Shared experience here lol, as a young child I always played the sandbox mode, and also thought the upper area was a minefield, spent countless hours trying to dodge the invisible mines lol. To also note, that sidewinder just collected dust, it kinda sucked

This and Moto Racer were my favorite bike games at the time. Rigorously played with keyboard, because the flight stick I had was accurate, but the dead zone was abysmal, having to steer all the way to turn (at the time I didn't want to risk with setting and I had no idea what a dead zone was). In PC shops I always saw the Sidewinders (especially the FF types, can't remember if the pad had any) with envy. Good thing nowadays all you need is XINPUT and every pad has force feedback...as much as two rolling weights in the pad's handles can give as feedback.

Going at it alone

Made my day to see practice mode

Same year as Trespasser. My first PC was a 400MHZ Celeron.

Same age as you, played on a Pentium 1 133mhz with a voodoo3, it had a 1gb 5.25 hard drive and the classic 56k modem noise indeed. Still a MX addict to this day (2 ktms right now)

@@Frank88Workz I remember having a pc with a pentium 1 133mhz processor too and at one point I think my dad upgraded it to like 400 mhz. I also remember going to a friends house and being wowed at his pc cause it had a pentium 3? With 800 mhz.

I was 9 and played the demo for hours and hours.

Right? I was like "who the hell skips the manual??"

@@brianmckinley4141 Bad people, that's who

@@brianmckinley4141 40% of viewers are sinners!

Funny how quickly times change… now you get that stuff anytime of day!

Oh yeah Girls Gone Wild, my dad had a lot of those DVD’s. I found them very boring even as a young man.

@@casedistorted weird flex but ok

Do you still work in the industry or did you move on after Rainbow?

Wow nice, Unleashed and Alive are my favourites

Thank you for reflex!

Exactly hehe

Smuggler's Run comes to mind. There was this level set in Russia my brother and I would play and you could go into the mountains and even go onto this giant frozen lake

Beamng Drive brings back most of that nostalgic exploration for me. It even has a cannon, but you can go as far out of bounds as you like on some maps. Tons of user created addons, and no arcade physics. The only downside is that it is pushing me to upgrade my CPU to be able to handle more than 4 vehicles at once (ai, or multiplayer)

@@sjeses 2015 isn't nostalgic... Also by 2015 video games could easily include huge open worlds.

@@norkshit I don't know how to put it but back in a day open world games or even the ones that were linear still felt more open and full of life then compared to today's games. One example, I still to this day find San Andreas the ''biggest'' GTA ever because on top of lots of features the map aka world is full of attention to details and is well designed. GTA5 falls flat, it have allegedly a big map but feels more like I am exploring a neighborhood and not 4 cities so as wilderness. Everything is so linear and stupidly designed. The most you drive on are highways and main roads, there was always zero reason to go anywhere else. Plus the limited speed of vehicles feels like I am driving a Fiat500 and not a sportscar ... Everything about GTA5 it is just dumb. SA might be clunky by today's standards but it actually have damn content and a world to play with...

The modern indie game scene has kept the "fun before realism" spirit alive. The Madness game's oversized maps reminded me of a weirdcore indie game called "Juice Galaxy". It has a giant world, tons of secrets with lots of ways to completely break the game. Also I can second the recommendation for BeamNG drive.

Yes! That might've been where I got the demo, I'm not sure. The timeframe matches up though and I very much enjoyed those other demos, too.

From this, to solitaire and pinball space cadet on XP... to preinstalled candy crush and tiktok on W10/11.. how times have changed 😓

Yes! I still have my old 98 SE disc from the Dell Dimension XPS 450 that my parents got way back in 1998/1999 or whatever. The AoE:RoR demo was just three campaign scenarios that actually never made it into the full game as far as I'm aware, but the second one could be played as a sort of 1v1 map due to how it was laid out, so long as you didn't mind the AI not really being smart enough to attack you. Between the AoE:RoR, Microsoft Pinball, and Motocross Madness demos, my early teen years were set until I ended up using my allowance to buy Unreal Gold, followed by Unreal Tournament 99 and The Sims, among others, all of which I also still have the original CD-ROMs for. Lost the boxes in my last move, but I saved the parts that count most.

Played those demos so much, my mom was able to get all the Windows releases from her work, 95/98 used to come preinstalled with so many games it was great

@@7-8-7 truly, we live in a dark timeline

Same, I never really got into games, but these were my 2 favorites also.

" is doing it, in the air!"

holy crap, yeah!

“Hey, I’m still in here!”

Could never get into 2. Seemed horrible to control compared to 1. Never had anywhere near as much fun with it

I sunk an ungodly number of hours into ATV Offroad Fury and Jeremy McGrath's Supercross World as a kid ._.

That is it, that is the game I was thinking of!

Watching this whole video, I had Blazin Trails and ATVOF4/Pro on my mind the whole time. Turns out, Rainbow made ATV1 and 2!

I just started playing the Rise of Empires mobile game about a year ago, an MMO based on all age of empires stuff with added features and i have been absolutely obsessedddd. Another one of my big favorites was the Heroes of Might and Magic series. Particularly 3, of course.

Yeah, there was another game in 1998 that could boast of large open environments (Delta Force which also contained buildings, grass and trees), but the trade-off was blurry voxel-based graphics.

@@IsmailofeRegime Another game of that era that gives me good vibes. Still felt open enough at least in the turn of the millennium.

Same here, was extremely excited as a child.

I used to play with the demo too I totally forgot about this game before playing the video

I also only had the demo but it felt like a whole game. I played it with a Sidewinder Joystick, worked superbly well. And yes, the mini copy. Man 25 later and I still remember the layout of that course.

Man, if there was a band that wholly encompassed 2000-2010 high school, it was The Offspring.

Welcome to a-meri-cana...that was their best album.

matrix moment while reading this comment, the previous song on my playlist just seconds ago was "gone away"

1000000% recommend this comment if anyone loves these games as much as we do!

Me too. The motion controls on the Sidewinder Freestyle Pro were pretty neat in 1998. And it had this weird USB adapter in addition to the game port interface.

Damn this is what I had too. I think it came with our gateway PC but it might have been separate.

Age of Empires 1 had the same Microsoft intro, IIRC. Saw it so many times.

I miss ea from those days. My favorite was "challenge everything"

EA now: "It's in the microtransactions"

True, and the OSTs are brutal

Same for this one, the AI was brutal but the open-ended map was welcoming. Great times just riding around doing basically nothing!

@@LGR is your clone still alive?

^only during December

Finally just got into it with my kids after having downloaded it as part of Xbox gold many, many moons ago
