'Motocross Madness' is one of the few racing games that gave me a good time. A lot of racing-games are throwaway to me, but this one isn't. Racers almost never interest me, but probably because this particular one seemed to fail at being what it wanted to be, in a good way, attracted me towards it.
Or at least, that's what I assume. It seems that 'Motocross Madness' was supposed to be a serious motocross racer, but due the way riders crash, fly and ride in general, it creates a myriad of humorous situations. This also made for a fun multiplayer game, and it's accessibility meant getting a couple people together was an easy task. Those days are over though, but the game remains fun.
What also kept making me come back to it was the easy map-editor which was included with the game. It's probably one the best I have ever used, and making a good track and riding it is done in no time. Of course, the editor could also easily be used to troll your friends, by just making a track that only contains those annoying bumps that messes up your steering.
