Midtown Madness is a fast and furious street-racer with an emphasis on dangerous high-speed racing through downtown traffic. Think some of the finer missions of the middle-period of the Grand Theft Auto series but without the story.
Midtown Madness has big and colorful environments with impressive, for its time, textures, graphics, and draw distances. You have a choice of several vehicles, ranging from hotrods to city buses. Each vehicle has a unique feel to it in terms of speed and handling and, importantly, survivability. For instance, the hotrod handles well, has great acceleration, and bursts into flames [not literally] after just a few dings. The bus, on the other hand, handles like, well, a bus, but it can plow its way through traffic with just a few dents to show for it.
The time trials are hard, but the races are insane. Vehicle durability is a considerable factor, as this is one of those racers where you'll be shoving your way between cars at stop lights and taking out street lamps while still having a chance to win. Racer AIs, while predictable, are cutthroat and will take you out in a pileup rather than play it safe/smart. The time trials are a bit easier because the environmental traffic is scripted rather than reactive [a big difference from GTA]. Of course this leads to some weird scenarios where a car is scripted to swerve out of the way, assuming that you'll be driving in into oncoming traffic, only to plow right into you when you stay in your lane. And expect to have plenty of cars turn left in front of you.
Pedestrians are reactive, and will dive out of the way when you get close; GTA sadists may be disappointed that you can't actually squash anyone, but it's a nice environmental touch.
While there are unlockables in Midtown Madness, the lack of a story or career mode might put some gamers off. And like many driving games, the lack of force-feedback means under and oversteering will almost always be an issue on courses that require high precision driving.
It's a fun and pretty way to kill a few hours, but unless you're a fan of racing games, or maybe even if you are, you'll wish that there was just a little bit more once the novelty of crashing through downtown rust-belt cities has worn off.

best game i ever played
My favorite game
IN search of death
best web for old game download
best game in ever i was seen
This was the first game that felt like a open world game that one could do immense driving in. I remember having a floopy disk PC and this was the most advanced game at its time. Downloaded it to bring back childhood nostagic memories.
good and excelent game i love midtown madness
Hey, has anyone gotten an older logitech steering wheel to work with this? I can't seem to get it to recognize my MOMO Racing wheel.
It is very nice!
I USED TO PLAY THIS GAME ITS A VERY GOOD GAME I LOVE IT
NICE GAME AND I DO ENJOY PLAYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN
I used to play this when I was a boy. It did help me during driving real vehicles on road :)
I was tring to download it but it reject the process why?
If anybody's trying to play in 2024 or later, download the RIP version and get Open1560 from https://0x1f9f1.github.io/Open1560/. It works a lot better than using dgVoodoo.
my childhood life was spent with my midtown madness game...because of it i never go to out side to play with my friends....due to this i spent my most of time in my home and there i learn coding and ..nowi am working in HCL TECHNOLOGIES as a software engineer.
gracias por este juguette
For anyone who wants to play on windows 11, in 2024 the LGU repack version works absolutely fine.
i only played this game because
you can smash all things to bits nonstop

im trying to donwoad the game but the setup.exe file doesnt work
i fixed the problem now if i try to do a race it crashes i try and do blitz high on life and it crashes imeditly how do i fix these problems
I want to know why this game is still playable in 2023 and later?
I download iso file and theres nothing when i extract it just vlc media player and 2 to 3 files which has no use.
Can't see this has been mentioned, saw it on PC Games Wiki.
There's a mod which enables the game to run on modern systems called Open1560, link below:
https://0x1f9f1.github.io/Open1560/
Am finally able to play this classic game on Windows 11.

INTERSTING GAME
jiowo.com offers free online games on one page and every game with full screen layout.
last time i played this game when i was a little child.
More tea, vicar?
I love this game so much, it gives me 2000's vibes and was ahead of its time.
In modern gaming,it´s all about "8K resolution","Framerate" this and "Scaling" that,"DLC´s","Sprite rendering","RPG","FPS","Mmorfg","ESPG","HDMI","ADHD" and "HIV".In the most typical forms of "retro gaming",it´s all about that boring,boring antient platform´s levels,or 3D games that delivers a pixelated blur over the screen.
But what happened to THE REAL good old games."Ridge racer","Black and white","Return to castle Wolfenstein","Conker","Stubbs the zombie",(the GOOD and early)"Medal of honor"/"Need for speed","Ghosts and ghoulies" or "SSX" ?.I LOVE the three "Midtown madness" games !.I mean,you have the action,the humour,the excitement,and it´s even a progressive side of it,where you can open up new levels/cars on the go.Despite all the vehicle violence,there is no blood or people that suffers or dies in it.No weapons,no body fights,no porn and no cursing.-You can play these games with your five year old kid or/and your granny,AND STILL have a really good time yourself !..
..So: F¤¤k you the "GTA","Driver" and "Mafia" franchises !.
(I must admit that "Midtown madness 3" on Xbox is a little better,-and not only the graphical aspect,-than the first two though.But i love ém all,and always will !).
Reply to NTCool- Yes the ISO Works Great, for a clean good install one should use the ISO and then the new patch mentioned by the other user
Does the iso version work?
Midtown Madness is the best,it has such great gameplay, the new patch that other user gave is also amazing https://0x1f9f1.github.io/Open1560/
2000s & 2010s Were the BEST
There's a modern rewrite of this game available here: https://0x1f9f1.github.io/Open1560/
It makes the game more compatible with modern PCs and implements several new functions and render options.
#IMPORTANT# How to run on windows 10/11
1. Download Midtown Madness and extract it to anywhere you like.
2. download dgvoodoo (http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/) and copy dgvoodoo cpl.exe to midtown madness and then go to ms/x86/ and copy all the dll files to midtown madness.
3. enjoy this classic!

Played this game for years, until no longer supported by Microsoft computers. Switched to Mac 10 years ago and wish it would play on it. I still have the original CD, the San Francisco version (buggier than the Chicago original), and the London game. Might even get an X-Box if this game would run on it.
"no suitable video board found" error occurs
how to run ? plz help!!!!!
it is a good game
a litle game but it wow sub my chanel kaumina thathsara
just download the rip version and download dgvoodoo2 by deegee. extract both of them with file explorer or 7zip or winRAR. copy the dgvoodoo cpl application to were ever you extracted midtown madness, do the same with the dll files in ms, x86. run the cpl application and choose your desired settings or keep them the same. click apply (if you had your own settings) and click ok. there you go, you can play midtown madness or other games that require 3d acceloration.
Midtown Madness game is best and one of its kind, I used to play for hours, and used to remember to smash through mall, aquarium, construction site and even more, Now I get the opportunity to download this game and will play multiplayer using gameranger , All I have to say is this racing hame is best, you may extend the gameplay using mods maps cars available at mm2x and mmarchive or use cheat codes available at cheat book.de ..........thanks!
