This game is great. Weird sound effects and great music. Interesting weapons. It's also free on GoG.

This game is tough as nails. I love it dearly and hate it with a passion.

The cars are rendered full 3d,while the tracks are all FMV. You can, and should, use all weapons you can get your hands on to win.

Lance Boyle, the host in the game, is lovably ridiculous and his assistent is there to be ditzy. But this game will make you hate the video when you lose.

It's not the best game, but considering he was a teen when he made this, still an impressive feat.

Later on he made the Build engine after seeing Doom and saying to himself: "I can make that". This was notable enough that John Carmack, inhuman programmer of id software, gave him a call to ask how he achieved looking up and down in the build engine.

We all love our "Doom"," Command & Conquer", "Commander Keen" etc.

But what is a game that you love that no one seems to know and/or like? What is that one gem that makes you type your "C:>cd games" just that little tiny bit faster?

I'll go first. My pick is Normality from 1996 by Gremlin Interactive. A 3D first person point and click adventure with FMV Cutscenes. It's goofy and weird but perfectly playable. I highly recommended anyone who loves point and click adventures to try this one out. It's basically Doom Point 'n Click
