Metropolis Street Racer
Metropolis Street Racer (MSR) is a racing video game developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Sega exclusively for Dreamcast. The game was intended to be a Dreamcast launch title, however, due to numerous delays it was not released in Europe until November 2000, with a North American version following in January 2001. A Japanese version was in development and briefly offered for online reservation in January 2001 with an expected release date of 22 February 2001,[2] but ultimately canceled after Sega discontinued support for Dreamcast. The game is the first entry in Bizarre Creations' Project Gotham Racing series. As well as being an early example of an open world racing game, Metropolis Street Racer is notable for introducing the "Kudos" system (whereby players are rewarded for racing stylishly as well as quickly) into video games, and for its detailed and accurate recreations of the cities of London, Tokyo and San Francisco. Music for the game was composed by Richard Jacques, and delivered via nine fictional radio stations (three for each city), similar to the Grand Theft Auto series. The day/night time spectrum during game play is realistic, in that the game uses the internal clock of the Dreamcast to calculate the present time in each city. Play at 8AM in England, for example, and the San Francisco races will all be at night (12 AM). A selling point of Metropolis Street Racer was the large number of tracks available (262 in total), created by blocking off certain areas of the city to lead the player around specific roads and paths. However, only a small number are available at the start of play and most are unlocked by playing through the single player mode.

Oh man, this was such a great hack n slash intro to fantasy-type games for me back on the ‘64! My brother and I had hours into this game.

Great multiplayer RPG. I was always the wizard, my brothers were warrior and thief I think. Picked it up as soon as it released on N64 after spending tons of quarters on the arcade.

The graphics and navigation are somewhat abysmal, but the nostalgia is strong with this one.

My sister and I used to play gauntlet on the Dreamcast. Whenever I was low on health it would say ”Wizard needs food” then say “Wizard needs food badly”

I started saying it in real life anytime I was hungry. This was pre-memes, but I found you can buy merch online, so I think it counts.

I’d say this was probably my first taste at an RPG. Leveling up, magic, the progress, and couch co-op were so fun!
