Megarace
A racing game created by Cryo Interactive in 1994. With the work of 2D graphic in pre-rendered and full motion 3D backgrounds. Megarace is a virtual racing gameshow created by VWBT. Your host is Lance Boyle, a Cool Old Guy (and annoying) who guides you, the Enforcer, through the show as you race through multiple virtual racing track fighting 5 speedgangs that has conquer different area. The objective of each race is to overtake every racers in the track before you finish three laps. You can also use your gun or clash other racers, making them explode. Over taking the opponent also make them explode because of a high pressure. The symbols shown on the road can change the tite of the race as they make you gain weapon, speed, or spin around.Part of it is because of the potrayal of Lance Boyle, you doesn't hesitate how eccentric he is and will treat you like crap if you lose in the hilarious ways.
This games has two sequels. The third is suffering hard from They Changed It, Now It Sucks.
Tropes provided.
- An Adventurer Is You
- Car Fu
- Camera Screw: The second game suffers from this.
- Everyone Lives: Nobody dies in a visual world. You, however, can feel the pain from explosion and stuff.
- Long List: Lance rattles a list of mad scientist projects in alphabetical order, including: aardvarks, beetles, caterpilars, dolphins, enzymes, frogs, girl guides, houseplants, iguanas, jellyfish, koalas, lepidoptera...
- Nintendo Hard: The game is very hard after awhile.
- Made of Explodium: Rival cars explode when you overtake them.
- Second Place Is for Losers: Play very straight in Megarace 2, where ending up other than the first place won't get you any respect.
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: Gee, Lance sure is awfully insistent that nobody dies on this show, isn't he?
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks: The third game plays like F-Zero X. Not many fan is pleased.
