Story:Streets of SimCity is a 1997 racing and vehicular combat computer game published by Maxis. The game offers several different modes of play, including a career mode, where the primary, mission-based play mode allows the player takes part in one of four television shows, with missions being presented as "episodes." There are four different shows to choose from, each with a set of episodes that increase in difficulty. It's your city to cruise through or bruise through... check out your own SimCity 2000 city or one of the 50+ built-in cities, or take on opponents in an urban free-for-all while skidding, bootlegging and blasting away. Speed through a sprawling metropolis or tackle one of the Streets' rim-rattling missions. On the Streets of SimCity, you set the road rules.Show more

Fun missions for various campaigns. a great soundtracks on a selectable radio to jam out to as you play the missions. I will never forget the delivery missions in the truck.
My good friend Steven had this game on PC. I would play it at his house. It was a stupid game (like sim copter), but this one was car based, and it had a different vibe. It was preGTA3, so this was first. My family computer only had 120MHz, so it was not powerful enough to run it, but I always wanted to. Its the stupid kind of fun you can have when you and your best friend get together and a video game gives you a rocket launcher. Fun WILL be had.

The gameplay and style of this game was just great. Decking out cars with absurd weapons and taking to the streets (including custom cities from SimCity 2000) was just way fun. That and some crazy fun cheats, like changing the gravity, just made it really enjoyable. Would love to see it come back.

When I was a kid, my family got a bundle pack containing this game along with SimCopter, SimTower, SimSafari, and SimIsle. This game in particular was one of the first vehicular combat games I've played and I have plenty of fond memories of it.
I used to love this game when i was a kid hours of fun just messing with simcity urban renewal kit and driving blowing stuff up. DOing the missions and making cars fly pure choas! for 10 year old me!

Easily one of the most broken games I ever had when I was a kid, but when it DID work, it was actually a lot of fun. The soundtrack is awesome, and having different radio stations that you can choose to experience the different parts of the soundtrack was unheard of anywhere else in 1997. Are there better road rage type games? There sure are! They're already available on GOG, so let's get this also-ran here as well!
Guys! go vote in SimCity Creator it was added by me in GOG Dreamlist, SimCity Creator is a underrated SimCity game and was pretty unique and a thing it have more than 20 disasters in the game the biggest in the franchise, man i would really love seeing it have a PC and GOG port!
Those games also need your vote!

Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Frankie Goes to HollywoodPlaying a thoroughly drab, mundane and predictable character, your aim is to become interesting enough to reach the Pleasuredome. After discovering a gruesome murder, your interest in something greater than the routine of 80s Liverpool is awoken. You explore the streets and houses in the search of a way out. The main basis of the game involves picking up objects and using them in the correct way - most objects have more than one potential use, and misusing them is the only way the game can be lost. There are several sub-games along the way, including shoot 'em ups, a maze and a jigsaw puzzle.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the HedgehogThe world is in peril as forces, both good and evil, make a play for the powerful Chaos Emeralds. In Shadow the Hedgehog, you can control Shadow and choose which side to fight for. This 3D platformer lets you use weapons, vehicles, environmental objects, and time and space manipulation to combat your foes. Although it is a 3D platform game as with the more recent Sonic Adventure games, the game's levels each feature up to three different missions (Hero, Dark, Normal) that the player may choose to complete. The game's plot depends on which mission is completed as well as subsequent playable levels. The game stars Shadow the Hedgehog and his quest to recover his memory, a goal he has been pursuing since his debut in Sonic Adventure 2, while an evil alien race known as the Black Arms is invading the planet.
