Holy shit i'm getting fucking old... played this when i was 10 on PS1, i'm almost 40... goddamn... great combat racing game, try them and put the least amount of focus on the graphics and you'll lose hours driving in circles at 500mph.

This reminds me of two games, PowerSlide, of which I played a demo in the early zeroes and GRIP, a more recent game like this with VR support. I loved PowerSlide but I've never been able to find anything about it anywhere

Edit: Never mind

Oh shit, I remember playing a demo for this probably around 1999 and enjoying it a lot but I never played the full game!

Little-known recommendation if you enjoy Rollcage - check out Firebugs, also on PS1.

Same developer as Rollcage, but largely forgotten because it came out after PS2 had taken over.

Here are the download links mentioned on the podcast. I play both often and they work great.

Rollcage Redux

Rollcage Extreme

Good soundtrack, at least in the first one.

Would have loved it if I'd known about it in my ps1 days!

When I was a kid I mainly bought demo discs, I loved this game. You could go around smashing everything to pieces, flip flop, crash and still be moving forward.
