Overview
Description

Mad Dash Racing pits up to four players against each other in a frantic, 3D adventure filled with lava rivers, icy glaciers, and underwater tunnels.

The game features a pulse‑pounding soundtrack from artists like Moby and Fatboy Slim, and supports both single‑player and split‑screen multiplayer modes for intense, family‑friendly competition.

Road Rash 64 drops you into a chaotic world of motorcycle racing where weapons and brawls are as important as speed. Choose from over 25 bikes and characters, race across 200 miles of interconnected tracks, and unleash new moves like the dreaded spoke jam. The game supports up to four players locally with Deathmatch, Cop Mode, and Tag, delivering intense pack brawling, grudges, and alliances. A thrashin' soundtrack featuring Sugar Ray, The Mermen and more fuels the adrenaline‑fueled action.
