I found out about City Car Driving from a related video on YouTube, if not for that, I would have never found it. I am creating this thread for me and everyone else to share any fun games they have found that you may not have heard off. They can be any genre, free-to-play, paid for, or even cool flash games.

Here is my list:

Rigs of Rods: (Free)

This game uses soft-body physics to simulate vehicles, both air, sea and land. This means vehicles handle very well, but also mean the game has the best crash physics of any game ever, which is the only reason you will play this game.
Watch and see for yourself:



More info & download: www.rigsofrods.com/content/

(Note: As you need to download maps and vehicles, I can provide links to the best ones if you want)

Spin tires: (Free)

Uses a havok physics to create a very realistic off-road driving experience, with deform-able terrain.



More info & download: www.oovee.co.uk/games/upcoming-games/spin-tires/

Trackmania series:

You may know about this, but you might not know about the free version. It is the definition of pick-up and play, and very fast pace. Multiplayer is a blast, with music constantly playing and something to do all the time, as the game always prompts you to beat times, your won, some else's, or your countries.



The maps are player made, and most are epic. Some involve stunts so epic, you will literally shout about how amazing they are.

More info & download: trackmaniaforever.com/

Modded cars for it (you'll want these): www.trackmania-carpark.com/liste.php

If you like it, you can buy the full version (Trackmania 2 is the newest, not the one you can "upgrade" too on the free version)

Roadeo: (Free)

It is a free flash (actualy it is unity) game, for two people. One si the car, one is the road. You can either work cooperatively to survive as long as possible, or against one another.



You'll need unity web player to play it (you can get it when starting the game if you don't have it) and another person ( not provided)

The Powder Toy: (Free)

A game where you can play with elements and watch them react. Does it sound boring? Load up a city someone else has build and drop a gazillion bombs or burn it to the ground. All the boring science means you can get cool results, and ou can destroy everything too!



More info & download: powdertoy.co.uk/

Yay for science!

Outerra Anteworld:

Ever think game worlds are too small? This game will satisfy you. The game world is the world. The entire world. The one you are on now. (I assume) The game world is massive, and you can spawn a selection of vehicles that are realistically simulated. The literal world is covered with the same pine-tree biome, and there are no buildings (you make your own).



More info and download a demo version, with only a few vehicles: www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=637.0

It is not much at the moment, but in future they plan to make it an adventure game where you play as human space travelers who return to earth to find humans gone, and have to find out why and rebuild civilization. It will be always online, and everyone can see what others do, but it is across the whole world.


Share your games, and comment on these and anyone else's. Try to include a video and a link to a website about the game. Remember it can be any genre, and does not have to be free.

Ask me about any of these, and I will help you with your problems.

I hope you found something fun here!

I don't know about Trackmania 2, but the concept hasn't really chan, so if you didn't like the concept you won't like two. You can try the free version if you want to try it.

We have things on common :cheer: , I also discovered CCD in YouTube. I watched a video about my Logitech G27 and I found 3dinstructor, then CCD. If I hadn't found this simulator, I would be stuck using Test Drive unlimited 2 as a driving simulator :lol: .
