Funniest Driving in Video Games

takwu · February 5th, 2004

As physics in racing games get more complex, I personally experienced numerous funny moments while driving in a game. For example:

Game: Midnight Club II (PC)
Where: It was a track with a tricky finish line. As you may know this game is all racing on the streets. There was a bit of straight, and then a square left into a street going downhill, only for half a block to the finish.
What happened: I was driving something like an 80's Escort (it's all unlicensed clones in this game) and was leading first place. As I made the left turn before the finish, I cut a bit too much and clipped the sidewalk curb on the inside of the turn. So the car started tilting (flipping) onto its right side, as I started screaming "ahhh..." My friend watching beside me also noticed it and started screaming in a different tone "ahhh...", as the car finished flipping onto its roof. However because it was going downhill (after the turn), the car didn't stop after flipping; instead it continued sliding on its roof downhill towards the finish line at a very slow speed... Our screaming continued for 3 more seconds before the car crosses the line, all while the AI cars came closer and closer. The race was over, car stopped sliding, still on its roof. After a quick glance I yelled "I won!" After the second glance I yelled "by 0.001 second!!!" Laughs out loud.
End of story.

cool

I'm never that lucky

Had one very spectecular crash once in NFS Porsche; I was going fullspeed through a corner and I didnt make it; instead the car got launched by a truck trailer standing at the side of the road. The car flew through the air, tumbling, then hit a wall, then flew some more, then hit another wall, then finally hit the ground. I still have the replay somewhere

A very funny one was with SODA offroad racing; that game has a track editor; I built a track with a very large hill in it, which was kinda hard to get over, unless you had good speed; so, I managed to speed up enough; the car actually went faster uphill then I expected and jumped off the top of the hill, made a 360 barrel roll and landed exactly on its 4 wheels, and even right on the track

hehe , i have a very wide experience with crashing cars in driving games

i remember in NFS2 that there was a trck in the jungle where there is a bridge i had funny times trying not to fall down (using pioneer code

)

i remember also that i used to disable my car damage in some racing games , then i just destroy other cars and keep racing alone

I won...

did that in Grand Prix 2, using a crash enhancer. One hit, 20 cars out; those were the days

in nfs2 you can jump out of the track yeah; fun

...I also liked using the car called 'bomber' with pioneer engine and rushhour; that thing could smash every other car out of the way; making traffic jams in nfs2 was also fun

This is pretty old but I used to have ALOT of laughs with friends playing non-other than the first MicroMachines

Pushing another car to slip into a pool table's hole is very amusing
