Also did this with the first Monster Truck Madness and Big Red Racing. And Motocross Madness. Seems these games were just built for that. Only had demo versions though, so just the one stage to explore.
Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?
TechnoCat@piefed.social 5 months agoYes. I did this with Monster Truck Madness and still remember the opening announcer guy.
I also did this with Big Red Racing, Diddy Kong Racing, and Rallisport Challenge.

Are you saying you can still find these titles?

Carmageddon was really good for it, too.
In modern gaming I’ve clocked up about 400 hours on Snowrunner, half of the game is intentionally exploring with trucks (albeit a lot slower, lol)

Ah yeah Carmageddon! They definitely encouraged exploration. I remember never winning by racing, but instead killing the other drivers.

Oh yeah, that was often the easiest way to progress.
I used to be a bit of a Carmageddon nut, I think I have original copies of all the games (1 with the Splat Pack expansion was the best for exploration) … but my old PC can’t run the latest version at more than 1fps unfortunately :-/
