Man that video game is so dear to my heart, I still listen to it's soundtrack to this day! Rockstar has such a golden license on its hands.... We need a MC4! This is the first arcade racing game I have ever played... Even before I got introduced to NFS series!
The only Midnight Club game to be released on PC, and arguably the most unique one. The atmosphere is unparalleled. One of those games of which I have strong memory even just sitting and vibing on the car selection screen, listening to the menu music.
Funny story: as a kid I wasn't aware that this game featured three different cities, so my mind was blown after I defeated the Los Angeles boss. Especially since the atmosphere changes pretty drastically with each city.

The gameplay is stylistically very similar to the Gradius series, but the graphics and music are intentionally absurd. The game, as its name would suggest, contains a large amount of Japanese voice samples shouted out in a style similar to that of a game show host. Unlike the previous two titles, Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius was not created as an arcade game. It was first released on the Super Famicom in 1995 and then ported and updated for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn in 1996.Action Fantasy Comedy
