Hot Wheels: CRASH! Where Everything Explodes Excessively

Review of one of the most straightforward, aptly-named PC games of the 90s: Hot Wheels Crash! It's a game where you crash Hot Wheels cars. That-s about it! It-s simple and it-s over in less than an hour, but I always have a constant grin watching the vehicular carnage unfold. Let's take a look back at it 23 years later here in this LGR retrospective! Flash33: I loved playing this game when I was little and remember many of these maps fairly well. The computer we had at the time wasn't very fast but that didn't matter to me all that much back then as this is the kind of game where you don't need everything to be fast to enjoy. I definitely wouldn't mind playing it again via emulation if at all possible.

Oh man this game was really something for me back in the day. My parents bought it for me from Best Buy or something and I was SO excited for it, it looked so cool and I could NOT wait to get home and play it. Unfortunately, our PC wasn't quite up to the task, so the graphics were basically just black abstract shapes in a blue void, just totally unplayable. Took it back and got something else, can't remember what. Was a shame because I wanted nothing more than to just crash the shit outta some virtual Hot Wheels. This is a vindicating video.
Cool to see the Mattel mention and the works of other developers making content for that brand as well, you should definitely look at the Caterpillar Construction Zone series sometime if you get the chance, I played those at least as much as I played Stunt Track Driver, and they were a lot of fun. Great video as always!

reminds me of shooting hotwheels across the room into walls and other hotwheels. I had this game too, and I remember taking the same hotwheels car that came with it to school one day for show and tell and rolling it across the classroom floor at ridiculous speed where it then flipped over and rolled several times in such epic fashion that I probably couldn't do it again if I tried. Sadly have no idea where that car ended up.

GAWD, I had a lot of fun with this game, I had the entire Hot Wheels systems, bu time took its toll and eventually everything died, disappeared etc. I still have the keyboard, and most of the games, still have the steering wheel and pedals. I really with Mattel, Hot Wheels, would come out with another themed system. These are some of my fondest memories, Thank you for reviewing this one Clint.

i'm kind of shocked at two things in this video:
#1. I somehow didn't have this game back then, even though I was the target audience for it, would've loved the actual toy you get with the game
#2. Today is the day I learned that Mattel bought Matchbox and did so early in my childhood too. I always saw them as competitors.

I used to play this ALL the time as a kid, I was fortunate enough to have some CTX EZ notebook with a K6 2 as a kid. Some laptop my sister had in college that a repair shop said was unfixable that I some how repaired as a child. :) This game, Frogger, and Tarzan I played on that little laptop ALOT. Such memories.

I remember i wanted this game so bad, but the only thing i could find on the internet was a demo of it with only one level. It was around early 2010s so that game was old already, but i was a kid back then and i loved hotwheels and crashes so much, i wanted it. If only i knew about burnout series back then.

A remake of this by Avalanche Studios would be fantastic. Vehicles, explosions, and spectacular destruction are their bread and butter. Bigger maps, more opportunities for havoc, and Just Cause-style oversized explosions combined with a less rigid scoring system would make for a blast to play!

This review is bringing back a lot of memories. My legit first-ever PC game was hot wheels stunt track driver and then my second game was this game. I swear this was hours and hours of fun back in the day. I could never beat it and I never got the additional levels but it's still a blast to play.

Oh man. We had this as a kid. Me and my brother loved this game. I remember gathering around the PC trying to figure out how to launch the car just right to get all the objects hit, so that we didnt miss anything. Also explains where we got that exact same hot wheels car haha
