I used to play the demo of Test Drive III. It only had one map I believe. But I loved that it was a sandbox, so you could drive anywhere. I specifically remember following along the railroad. It was way ahead of its time back then.

Between this and Stunts 4d https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunts_(video_game) what more could a kid ask for

Carmageddon would be what a kid could ask

I wonder / doubt it or something like it would shock anyone as much as it seemed to back then.

I remember the controversy over the original Postal, and then there were eventually 3 more sequels in that franchise. The culture resists at first and eventually loses the battle.

360' splatter bonus

Oh wow, that's a game I haven't thought about in forever. Thanks for reminding me.

I'd ask for Rock n' Roll Racing!

I remember being mocked slightly when I was headbangin' and footstompin' to the soundtrack.

Time for a modernized port true to the original! I also liked the TrackMania series but I wish there was something reduced to the amazing essence of Stunts.

Super Off Road... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Off_Road

I remember a map where just at the start, you could turn around, jump over an open bridge and finish it in less than a minute.

On the other hand most maps have loops and I would regularly get lost, unable to finish it...

I can still hear the PC speaker music in my head.
