Story:Midtown Madness (also known as Midtown Madness: Chicago Edition) is a racing game developed for Windows by Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego) and published by Microsoft. The demo version was released via download on May 1, 1999 and the completed game was released toward the end of May 1999.[1] Two sequels followed, with Midtown Madness 2 released in September 2000 and Midtown Madness 3 released in June 2003 for the Xbox. The game is set in Chicago and its objective is to win street races and obtain new cars.
Unlike racing games that restrict the player to a race track, Midtown Madness offers an open world recreation of Chicago. This setting was said to provide "an unprecedented degree of freedom to drive around in a virtual city".[2] Players can explore the city via one of several modes, and can determine the weather and traffic conditions for each race. The game supports multiplayer races over a local area network or the Internet. The game received generally positive reviews from gaming websites.[3]Show more

The Midtown Madness trilogy were simply the most fun driving games of all time. Maybe Burnout 3 surpassed the mayhem, but for a hilarious sandbox racing game, that ticked all the car-lovers' boxes, there was no substitute. PLUS, big plus, it introduced me to modding.
The community used to be so big, if this ever comes to GOG, I hope someone has a harddive with all the mods on there, because most of the hosting websites are dead now lmao, which is even more of a reason to get them here on GOG, now!!!!
Not my first racing game, but I think this mighta been one of my (if not THE) first open-world racers. I spent countless hours just driving around, smashing windows and scaring pedestrians. It was highly moddable, too, with tons of cars and tracks to play with. This and its sequel deserve more love.
I played the demo of this game for hours and hours just roaming around the city and driving like I was preparing for my drivers license. I even bought a wheel to play this game.
I didn't play this game much. If I recall correctly, it tried to have a more realistic traffic model than most of the driving games before it. It also tried to be more realistic in other ways. For example, if you peeled out in a FWD car, it would make sure to lay the tire strip from the front wheels.
Midtown Madness was an absolute classic! It was one of those games that felt way ahead of its time. Free roaming throughout the windy city of Chicago was just amazing. The police chase and the pure joy of causing chaos were also amazing! GOG should really add it to the collection. It defines an entire generation

Armored Core: Nine BreakerArmored Core: Nine Breaker brings back the super strong "Nine Ball" mech who appeared in the original PlayStation Armored Core. Those who can defeat "Nine Ball" (which likely means you if you see the end credits of Nine Breaker) are labeled as the true most powerful mech around, the "Nine Breaker." In Armored Core: Nine Breaker, players play through two main modes of play: training mode and arena mode. Training mode features 150 programs that test players' skills. Players can try out programs that focus on attack, defense, movement, "technic," "special" and "overall." Each of these areas are further divided, with attack comprised of multiple tests in accuracy, power, judgment, "hit - single" and "hit - melee." Arena mode is a battle mode in which players take on other mechs in battle. Mech modification, the series' bread and butter, is of course featured heavily in Nine Breaker.Action Warfare Science fiction
