Story:Take the wheel as Max Damage as you plow scores of vehicles unlucky enough to be in your way in Carmageddon, an action racing game. Your soundtrack will be the sound of crunching metal, the splatter of motor oil on the windshield, and the screams of skidding tires. With a white-knuckled grip on the wheel, you'll have the choice of 23 crash mobiles (from a terrifying monster truck to a high octane Dragster) and 30+ levels of hellish fury and motorized terror.Show more

This is already on GoG, the Carmageddon Max Pack is the base game bundled with the expansion. Not sure why this is still being listed as part of the Dream List.
Stress relief from my day job, driving taxi.
Picking up, I mean off, people on the street in a safe and effective way. Getting them to a destination, usually not of their choice. The OTT modifiers, the completely unnecessary 'race'. Destroying your competition. Just doing what would be completely illegal things in a safe and satisfying way.
The hardware reqs BITD weren't all that high so I could run this. The pixelly graphics were a feature not a bug. The powers that be were not happy about what was depicted, even in such an obviously unreal way. Cartoonish comes to mind, even if they weren't even that good.
Hours spent in happy decompression on this Good Old Game.
The campaign mode of Carmageddon was a fun thing, though some of the challenges I still think were unfair. Where this game shone brightly though was the multiplayer. The chaos was incredible and so, sooo much fun. Destruction Derby brought destructive cars, but in Carmageddon you could annihilate them.
Best in the series of car destrucion games. Variety of cars that you can drive is amazing. Sound track is amazing, cars feel pretty good to drive and maps are different enough to keep you interested.

Jet Set Radio HDJet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game.
Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about.
Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.Action
