Racing
An infamously violent rally motorsport; race through a variety of crazy urban and outdoor tracks, and add seconds to the ticking timer by ramming your opponents or hitting pedestrians. There's a big emphasis on attitude, catharsis, and free form gameplay at the expense of difficulty. You're racing the clock, not your opponents, and while you could focus on completing laps in the shortest possible time, it's equally in the spirit of the game to drive far off the track and cause destruction and mayhem. Lack of challenge is the biggest weakness, as going out of your way to hit pedestrians, to wreck your opponents, and even to explore the maps tends to reward you generously with extra time and money. One of the first PC games to support 3D acceleration out of the box.
