Can't remember an old combat racing game

[peacemaker898]

I'm going to try to describe it as well as I can remember in bullet points

-Bright, neon-like colors
-The car choice menu had them on pedestals, in the back was a sweet looking red one
-I don't even think it was a racing game, I don't remember racing at least, I mostly explored
-You could shoot guns
-There were turrets in different places
-You may or may not be in a hover car
-There was race track and more open parts of the "world"
-You could try to jump to these planes where you would flip upside down (maybe)
-I'm 99% sure it was a 90's game, I played it on a windows 95 or 98 machine
-Again, what I remember most vividly are the bright colors in the "city" type part

Thank you!

Interstate 76 maybe?

Nope, it's more futuristic.

From what I've gathered it's a fairly obscure game. Understand that I've been searching for it for more than an hour, even sifting through lists of old PC games. I do this like once a year, but never find it! haha..

I think its Interstate 82 Chris lol

Road Rash comes too mind but that doesn't fit the description.

RUSH 2049 maybe?

 

[hunter387]

WAIT nvm lol there is a Interstate 76 lol my bad

Wipeout XL?

 

[peacemaker898]

Nope none of those. I don't think it was a racing game, my memory is so foggy on this. I just know you were in a car/hovercar type thing.

carmageddon?

 

[casualcolors]

I feel your pain OP. I had a game that I used to play when I was a child on original Nintendo, that I couldn't remember for the life of me. I randomly described it to a person that I didn't know was a longtime gamer and they were like "Oh, you mean Snow Bros.?"

Don't give up :x.

 

[namelessonez]

As far as I remember, Carmageddon didn't have hover cars. Could it be Death Track?

 

[de5_Roy]

carmageddon tdr? don't remember any hover cars though.

 

[13thmonkey]

surely a wipeout?

I immediately thought of Rock & Roll Racing, but I don't know if that was ever ported to PC. Either way, it's an awesome game.

 

[AntiZig]

oh man, that game was amazing at the time, now you've made me go scour for genesis emulator XD

 

[peacemaker898]

Haha, no not Carmageddon. The graphics were more surreal than realistic, but not quite as old as Rock & Roll Racing. Not Wipeout either, again, I'm not even sure if it was a racing game, haha. At least I don't remember ever racing, or place markers on the GUI or anything.

 

[kufan64]

I can really only think of one more game off the top of my head that might fit the description and that is Streets of Sim City.

Funny thing is I stumbled across this thread when I was googling for what I believe is the name of the same game you're looking for ... and I finally found it! Rollcage!

Without a doubt one of the best combat/racing games period, I have it buried somewhere at home, I was trying to find out what api it used I'm going to try to get it running in 3D.

Precisely the game I was thinking of. This was driving me crazy (hahahah), but then I asked my brother.
If you're still alive, or anyone else is, the game he's describing is Zone Raiders.

You really can't forget that cool red car in the back.
