the out of bounds feature had me and a group of friend all around a single computer laughing hysterically. and yeah... that sparse but large open world BLEW OUR MINDS
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.
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.
It's amazing how this channel keeps unlocking childhood memories. And it also makes me realize all the free time I had as a kid and how lucky I was. I could play sports, go to school and still find tons of time for games. Piracy probably helped in that regard (sadly officially licensed games were super rare and expensive in most of the third world) but damn I did try many, many games. Makes me realize I just complain I don't have time to play nowdays. I have It's just that mindless scrolling on the phone or watching streaming services with my couple takes up more time than it should probably. 😂
I played this for years. I had the three pack and got it for Monster Truck Madness 2, but this was the gem I didn't know I needed. Spent days in the editor make tracks were you jumped into each other.
I remember playing this for hours at a time, almost exclusively doing massive jumps in the quarry. It had some sort of serene tranquility to it and it was almost meditative to play at times. It didn`t have much, but it had that one thing that really stuck with me. Loved the video Clint, you always have me remember the ”good old days” with a rose tinted view.
Oh god, this was one of the first games installed on my very first PC. It was just a demo, but little dumb me had a blast with it! Such a nostalgia trip, thank you!
I was a huge crusty demons fan back in the day. My dad gave me my first bike when I was around 6 or 7 years old, a honda z50 trailbike. Dinky little thing but I miss it. I used to race my dad on his KTM and one day it ended catastrophically when I hit a pothole on the trail and flipped several times. Walked away without injury somehow lol. Later graduated to a bigger bike, a honda xr50, and even sometimes rode my sisters Yamaha ATV. I don't remember the exact model of the ATV but it was a blast, I remember feeling like I was driving a tank or something just storming through the bush on it. The joys of growing up in rural Australia. Used to rip around paddocks and local bushland from morning til sundown with my mates. When we weren't doing that, we were watching Crusty Demons on VHS or playing Motocross Madness. Ah, great days.
I actualy reminded myself about this not to loong ago, as game Descenders does exact same thing when you try go out of bounds, it instantly brought back long forgotten memories of Motocross Madness
Thinking back when I was 14'ish at my friends house. Both on a 10mbit hub, no internet and only playing this, Star Craft and Rainbow Six...also sharing some mp3's. Damn, I miss that time.
My dad brought me home an old computer from work when I was young and gave me this game. Such and underrated game for the time. Driving up the cliff to be blasted back was the best 😂😂
I had that Racing Madness package as a kid, got it with a very basic wheel+2pedal setup (V3 Racing Wheel). Thousands of hours played combined, but I mostly loved MX. Such a great game!
this game actually looks pretty good for a 1998 game, I remember the hours upon hours I put into this game back in my windows 98 PC. it was so amazing! an absolute classic!
Man I used to have a pentium 1 with 120mhz. Me and my brother used to play the mcm2 demo for at least 2 years. That game had software rendering support, and we got like 1 fps. But man if we landed a trick we were through the roof. this game was mindblowing. When it was loading you could literally go to the toilet for 10 min and come back and it still was loading. I've played mcm1 and 2, but the second one remains my favorite.
14:17 You forgot to mention something really important. Notice on the bottom left of the MCM2 box? That is the 2000 AMA 125cc East Supercross champ Stephane Roncada. Believe it or not, RonRon was making really well-made tracks in MCM1 that people genuinely liked, and he actually applied to work for Rainbow Studios in 1999. He got the job part-time and learned game design and even made some of his own DLC tracks for MCM2. (FORE! is my favorite RonRon track.) Even now, Stephane Roncada has been employed at Rainbow and is a key member of the small game studio of about 25 people. It's a really neat story of someone figuring out a hobby while being the best in the world in another.
Motocross Madness 2 is the only game my parents had on their pc when I grew up so I have played it for so many hours. They had it because it was bundled together with the pc when they purchased it brand new. That game was a huge part of my childhood because I was only a few years old when I started playing that game and I still think about it sometimes. The game did include an advertisement for midtown madness which was one of the games I did dream about owning at that time. I have still not played it until this day so maybe I should do it now.
One thing I miss the most WERE those sections of CD Jewel case bundles for getting older cheap games. For $1-5 bucks you could get titles as recent as a few years when your new machine had finally caught up to run it! Fry's Electronic's had a software section that was very much the same way but on steroids.
I think I just had the trial, but it was great to goof around with for a couple of months. Thanks for bringing those memories back to me, although I don't remember when exactly it was :) (I got my first PC in 1999, but I managed to buy my first 3D accelerator, a Voodoo 3 2000 PCI a bit later)
Motorcross Madness gave me a lot of fun hours back then, making tracks and such as well I think. The Sidewinder always worked pretty well for me back then as a teen, it just took some practice to know how fast and far to move it with the motion controls but I don't remember it being all that inaccurate or bad. I guess I'm either forgetting quirks it may have had in the day (or my old teen self was thus impressed it went by unnoticed), or you're used to more advanced modern motion controls and are comparing it retroactively. Regardless it's fun to see people didn't forget about this game!
I had the sequel. I didn't really understand video games at the time, but I got a lot of mileage out of exploring the maps and abusing the out of bounds cannon. Good times, good times...
ATV Offroad Fury was my brother and I’s jam! The music on it was 🔥too! Nothing like jammin Alice in Chains while flying over the the terrain in free for all.
Watching this video reminds me a lot of times when I’d play ATV Off-road Fury (I think that’s what it was called). I wouldn’t actually do much racing of course; I’d spend most of my time playing finding the highest incline or cliff I could to eject my racer to send them flying into the air. Good times…
I was driving around open world and did a straight up jump on a hill at full speed. I performed a number of tricks in the air, and landed almost exactly where I jumped from and scored crazy points. I wasn't able to do that again. My biggest frustration with this game was the jumps in the races - too many times I poorly placed my jumps and struck the next hill instead of going over it.
I can still remember my dad going to town on this game on our yellowed plastic windows 95 monstrosity. In equal measure I can also remember sneaking onto the PC to play this and Duke Nukem very early mornings before school in 2002.
This was one of the few games I grew up playing in the mid 2000s along with rally 2000 and lego island. It was on my dads windows xp pc. I always watched the videos that played in the menu. But did this video bring back some very specific memories I forgot like the kind of goofy sidewinder controller and it’s motion control - which I used a lot. Accidentally clipping the corner and having to be sent back in 5 seconds was infuriating. I enjoyed the track maker, the physics were good but on technical corses it was very hard.
I probably put months into this game as a child. Just playing that big dirt map and going out of bounds for HOURS on end ahaha. That and Red Alert were my first computer games I played
As with Flight Unlimited, i have actually some pretty fond memories of this game. Granted even back then the world was empty, barren. But yet i had a lot of fun. And: i remember buying a controller / gamepad that was (if memory serves me right) specifically advertised for this game.
Ah man. I had the demo of this from a magazine and I spent hours playing it. Even if I was just continously going to the world boundary to get shot by that boundary cannon
