Twisted Metal 2 is basically the high water mark for the late 90's car combat fad. Few games were ever this good, even in the Twisted Metal franchise itself. And most people probably don't even know there was an official PC port.

This is my first video game ever and I'd love to buy it off GOG. I first played the game back in 1997 when I was 2 years old. I love this video game and it's one of the best video games out there.
Twisted Metal 2 was absolute chaos in the best way possible! It took the vehicular combat formula of the first game and cranked everything up—bigger maps, crazier weapons, and more insane characters. How could anyone forget Axel or Sweet Tooth! It should be in the GOG by now

Most TM fan believes Twisted Metal the greatest TM game ever made!!! There's some great arguments for this. Some truly iconic characters you'll remember for years to come. Some of the finest endings they ever done!!! Some of the absolute best levels as well. Some of the finest boss fights. Not to mention, some of the best specials in the franchise. A great soundtrack with some amazing sound effects. An friend who introduced me to a lot of PS1 games. I originally played TM2 through him a long time ago. There is the lesser known PC port that had online multiplayer. Yes TM2 was the first online TM game. Virtually everything surpassed the original Twisted Metal. TM2 is a true timeless classic. A lot of people surprisingly missed out playing this. There's some great secrets you won't expect. Like keeping attacking the Statute of Liberty to reveal stuff until it's destroyed. There's even a track pulled straight out of Jet Moto 1. TM2 is hands down one of the finest TM games ever!!! It's also one of the absolute greatest car combat games in existence. I do think a lot of people go nuts when they see TM2 on here.

Twisted Metal 2 was one of the few PlayStation games Sony legitimately released to PC. It just makes sense. Plus, there's an active community for it, including keeping the online going. It's such a fun game that should definitely be returned to PC, one that i definitely had tons of fun with.

Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge
Lotus III: The Ultimate ChallengeThe third game in the series combined the gameplay aspects of its predecessors, allowing players to choose between racing opponents of Lotus Turbo Challenge or the arcade-like time trials of Lotus 2. The two-player option was retained and the music selection feature returns (Patrick Phelan's soundtrack to Lotus III spawned many modern remixes). Lotus III also added a third car - a concept Lotus M200 automobile - and allowed the player to choose which one to race with. The game recycled most of the graphics from Lotus 2, but added a number of new sceneries.

Top Gear 2
Top Gear 2This third-person racing game resembles Gremlin's earlier Lotus series, in terms of its general look and feel, right down to the text font used in the game. Your task is to race through 16 countries, each of which features four races, with many real-world circuits recreated in incongruous locations (such as the Monza layout in Ayers Rock, and the old Hockenheim in Vancouver). These four-race blocks each represent their own mini-championship, in which you race against 19 cars, needing to finish in the top 10 to continue, and with the top 6 scoring points 10-6-4-3-2-1, and the respective amount of money in thousands. This can be spent on various upgrades, ranging from engine to tires (wet and dry) and from shocks (front, side and rear) to gearboxes. The ideal approach is to buy the more expensive versions ASAP, as you get no saving when upgrading. If you win the four-race championship, you get the next password. You get a set amount of nitro boost to use during each race, although bonus nitros, money and instant speed-up token appear on many tracks. Hazards such as puddles, barriers and ramps are also frequent.
