Forgotten Games - Hot Wired 

Thanks for watching guys, hope you all enjoy the video! I had to dig deep to find those clones. Thornton's was found on eBay by a complete accident. I had no idea what it was but I bought it out of pure curiosity. I was in complete and utter shock when I first tried it.

You can still see the break lights from the semi in midnight race club, holy shit

just keep cloning , just keep cloning , *just keep cloning* , *JUST KEEP CLONING*

And people think that CoD is the same for every release...

A new Vectrex video always brightens up my day. Keep up the awesome work.

Am I the only one who loves the damage physics here? Its so absurd that it is so great..

Any time you post these Vectrex, it's like a call to god. In short, they always come out great.

O shit, i have the same game ("Midnight Racer"), but i got it from a box of cereals. Nice.

Nothing like a new Vectrex video after finishing my homework

Finally I got to watch this! It's been in my watch later for months XD Awesome video man! Don't know what was scarier. The amount of clones or the games themselves! Can't wait for the next vid!

I unironically did buy Midnight Road Warriors in Poundland after somehow enjoying Midnight Racing and Speed Thief as a kid back in the day. Your videos are good, nice job.

I'll give them something though, the music of Hot Wired/Speed Thief and Midnight Street Racing were both pretty cool.

They made 3 same games. "Midnight Racing", "Hot Wired" and "Night Race". Where night race is nowhere to be found

You literally have the perfect voice for RU-vid. I luv u

🎶Just keep cloning! Just keep cloning! Just keep cloning, cloning, cloning, what do we do? We clone, clone. 🎶

i rmb getting this game along with 3 2 1 smurf in some compilation cd or smth thanks for bringing up this game, actually wanted to rmb what this game was like

Autobahn Racing is also the same but at daylight. :D

Didn't know Danny DeVito was in this game.

10:41 the music in the background....so nostalgic. I just know instantly that you're gonna break out the LEGO Racers Basil the Batlord music when a video game you're reviewing is terrible. It's one thing you've kept recurrent about Forgotten Games ever since it started.

A very small part of my childhood. I remember constantly trying to ram a truck only to get wrecked. Didn't think was so shitty until now. 7 year old me was so naive.

daaaaaammm.... this game.... i used to play it when i was like 3 ,so much memories in one video.

6:30 Space time bends for unknown reason

Hey man, love your stuff and loved the video! These "games" certainly feel like something you would have found in some bargin bin of wal*mart or deep in the bowels of Amazon. I actually have a few suggestions themed around "Racing games from the bowels of amazon" thing you have going like "Corvette", "Boss Rally", "L.A. STREET RACING" and finally "Jeff Gordon XS Racing".

OMFG, I have this game sitting on a shelf in my mum's flat! Tbh, I kinda liked it at the time, never got fat though.

Did anyone notice that Speed Thief and Midnight Road Warriors have different cars than the rest? by this logic, technically they are _slightly_ different.

I just took this game out along with other late 90's games and demo discs, but even any scratches, the Cd isn't being read... Am I lucky? So I found your video. I'm impressed someone reviewed this sh..., err, game recently.

The thumbnail made me think you were talking about Spy hunter, that high tech transforming car game.

the commentary was probably supposed to sound like a mob boss is talking to you

Great video man. I see you like Steely Dan.. 5:35 Seems like you have good taste in music!

The intro made me scared as fuck

Had a dream about this game.

Your channel is awesome bro keep it up 👍

I found that game in a cereal box when i was 4

Love your channel, and Hot wired Mr Peepers Edition was hilarious funny.

nice use of metal gear solid music 10/10

Please do a forgotten games on Think Tanks! That game was so obscure.

3:08 Me oh please...WHY THE RUNWAY HAS A TRAFFIC JAM DANN IT!!!!

didn't know shingo went pro

watching this on April 10 2021 :P

I had a pirated version of this game that I could never get to run, so I wanted to play it pretty badly because the name sounded cool! Glad I wasn't missing out on anything. I wonder if it was made with one of those old shitty game engines like 3D RAD EDIT: It was made with Twilight 3DGE

damn. nfs 2015 had the same driving controls as this

1:13 DUBARU CRASHU IKOZE

Yo vechead, how about i tell you this... Your name includes the vectrex. You reviewed 1 game overall.(Vectrex) Can you find another one and maybe do things with it? Appreciated!

Why dont you make that many initial d related videos Theyre really good You should do a playthrough of the arcade stage games or something

check out 'Polskie Derby', you will clearly like it

I love shitty softbody physics

why did you edit the word long night

Right after 14:56 i heard an ambulance

IlUMINATTI COMFURMED I prb spelled this wrong

yeah but on thorton's it actually has a gas meter

I just bought a copy of this and pinewood derby. So excited to torture myself with it 😂

Hey they predicted BeamNG

i remember graphic from this game as more realistic funny i pleyed speed thief nad i thot its hot wired

5:05 FUJIWARA ZONE?

Good vid like always! Can you play NFS Underground 1 its an old great game from 2003 i think

It's just like mobile gaming today

Well...i have one atrocity from davilex, with a simple, and charming name: London Racer World Challenge Well, most models are re utilized (kinda reminds me about XFORM games), the cars, songs, voices, and even tracks, almost everything is reutilized, and the songs are really bad, don't give the needed atmosphere, and makes me sleepy

I remember this game.... lol my disc is broken unfortunately but I remember the incredibly odd damage and that guys voice...

Hi, I have been here since the beginning and watched all your videos, I love your content man, but I had a game review request. Could your review the Journey Arcade Game from 1983, my dad said it was pretty bad but I want to see your opinion on it. I know you have an arcade cabinet so I don't imagine it would be too much trouble. Thanks for all the good content.

В русской версии несколько иные модели автомобилей ))

not ba....nevermind

You should review Big Rigs

Do the test drive games please?

Hey wanna buy my snake clone?

insert joke and/or comment here

big rigs collision detection skills gta 3 cop sounds THIS GAME IS ASS

This game is actually awful.

Damn, I actually own Police Chase and used to always wonder why the file said US Racer but never thought much of it. Well now I know, how scummy. Great video man!

"My god we ran into an invisible hurricane!" 😆

even gran turismo has better damage models than this

I honestly can't believe there's *6* games that are just the same, and other developers have done this as well. Pretty awful stuff... Let's hope this doesn't happen again! Anyway, the editing was great and I really enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work!

These videos are weirdly comfy in a way, vectrex is like an old fashioned youtuber thats still going, and i wouldn't have it any other way! I cant stop rewatching this series every few months. Not to mention that these really inspired me and many other people too, im sure!

In Europe (or at least in Poland), the game was named "Midnight Racer" and it was being added for free to all Nestle cereals xD

i got speed thief and big rigs as a gift once and speed thief never worked Edit: I just downloaded speed thief and it still doesnt work.

That moment you break physics so hard your average speed is significantly higher than your top speed.

okay, so i remember years ago i saw police chase at an odd lots store for $4 and almost bought it, but bought the great escape video game instead. obviously the best decision i ever made.

I just remembered I got this game from a cereal when I was 7, I only remember the gameplay and now I finally remembered it thanks to you! I only played 30 mins of the game because my monitor was defective and then I lost the game,but 7 year-old me enjoyed that 30 min as I was easily impressed by any racing games that has car deformation. (Probably because I haven't play Burnout series yet)

So... They make tons of the exact same game and call it something diffrent every time...? Lemme tell you about Apple

*OBJECTION!!!* midnight warriors does NOT look like that, it has a COMPLETELY different look from this piece of shit! take a comparison of the games and see for yourself!.. *oh wait*

I remember having this game in my childhood and I thought it was fine. Clearly my world was a lot smaller and I was not aware of actually decent games. Still, I had some good times with this game, SFX and commentary. But those cops are quite the nuisance and I really fear them when they come the other way. Speaking of this game, anyone remember an ancient PC Autobahn racing game that's pretty much this without the Hot Wired theme (that only had 2 playable cars, a Porsche and I think a C4 Corvette)? Pretty sure its made by the same people since the cameras and gameplay are super identical. The graphics and effects in this game are super polished ones from the Autobahn game. EDIT: Oh wait, got to the Racer Pack part.

Just keep cloning. Just keep cloning. Just keep cloning.

Well, the car damage physics are the early stages of the "soft body physics". Today you can get BeamNG (which is by far the most realistic softbody physics i've ever seen between every racing games). You should check a game called "Viper Racing". It has similar damage physics compared to this game (only got bettered), and the game was released in 1998.

It reminds me of Big Rigs for some reason

this show has improved a lot since the first video. It's great to see a youtuber get better with time. almost every content creator gets better with time and you are a prime example of that. keep up the good work!

"Dont make new games. Just keep cloning" EA: "Write that down, write that down!"

Awesome vid. Bought Hot Wired out the 5 dollar bargain bin at a Roses as a kid.

you forgot one of the clones, there's another called polskie derby, but it's all old eastern european cars, also davilex have a shitload of clone games based on the london racer series

I cannot fucking believe that AAA studios are starting to take notes from THIS game of all things.

Fuck me, my Mother bought this when i was 4 (2004) and i hated this game and i continued Playing GTA Vice City

Alternative title: how games from the 90s predicted NFTs

YOU CAN STILL SEE THE TRUCK TAIL LIGHTS IN MIDNIGHT RACE CLUB SUPERCHARGED. HOW WERE THEY T H A T LAZY

I got that midnight racing one used to play when i was a kid lol

I remember playing this as a kid and probably only played this once or twice, but i remember an easter egg i think. I remember driving the opposite way you are supposed to go and it said something like “i put the car back where it belongs” or something, idk. I probably still have the game in storage somewhere, but yeah. I wonder if someone has a video on that easter egg.

[12:30] Hey, I played that game!

Well, atleast its better than initial d: mountain vengeance

6:30 every gran turismo hybrids ever

By watching that review, this game triggered severe flashbacks that I had of a game that I used to play the demo of as a kid, but had forgotten the name of it since then. That is until I found a video featuring games running on an engine which this game is running on, called 3DGE, a name that I looked up on when I saw videos of Wolfenstein 3D running on a source port called 3DGE. And the one game that this game triggered severe flashbacks of to me was called Thrust, Twist + Turn, released only in Europe by Take 2 and developed by a company that surprisingly isn't IncaGold that I thought it would be, but by a different company instead. A long-defunct Finnish developer called Carts Entertainment, Ltd, whose portfolio only consisted of this one game that I just mentioned.

6:14 sounds like a Dreamcast that got posessed

3:54 stop car abuse

Hey. This is your old friend Connor, wanted to know if you'd like to talk, after all these years. Stumbled across this and was hit hard with the feels, lol.
