+Lazy Game Reviews You ever going to review the second one? What about shogo, the anime themed fps with mech suit combat, overshadowed by the release of half life?
Ah nostalgia, I used to go over to my friend's house and take turns playing this with him. I agree, the FMV video looked amazing back then. For the longest time I thought it was actual real time 3D graphics instead of just a video (probably because of the monitors at the time). Kind of a let down now, but I least I fell for it when I was little, and that made the experience even greater.
Ya a crt will give you the best experience here lol but I guess it was the fact that pre rendered graphics were ahead of real time by far at the time, at least in realism, it was like nothing I'd ever seen.
No effing way, my mind was blown after just realizing there was a hidden bonus track by right clicking the Mattel sign... I had no idea, huh... after all these years
Sure I was born later, but I grew up with all sorts of old hand-me-down hardware. First new computer I actually had was a 486DX/2-66, but I also had an 8088-based machine and was very much into older DOS games. Also got to work on really old stuff in a computer class at school (talking like 8" floppy drives and such) so I've always been around older things due to lack of wealth :)
There was actually a demo of this game included in some Hot Wheels sets that contains it's own original level not found in the main game! It's called the Hot Wheels World Adventure Sampler, and contains a number of the "city" types of sets.
It's so crazy you've done literally almost every obscure racing and tycoon game I obsessed about when I was younger, I remember the boxes, the music everything was so killer then. I remember owning this game for months before we finally got our own PC for my house, I was so pumped to be able finally play all the killer abstract games at home. I begged my parents for something that could run this. Before that I'd have my mom take me to her work when she worked over time as an accountant so I could play Motocross Madness on her work computer hahaha. Can't believe they did that for me. Thanks for all the great videos, I watch them In our van on tour for hours hahaha - Tony
This was the very first video game I EVER remember playing, on my granddad's windows 98 computer. When I was done with it though, I myself couldn't find that door as the 4 year old I was, and ejected the disc mid game to screw up all my saved data. Go me!
I feel it. When i was younger, i kept failing at that one part. the last turn than the final straight foward finish. in the turn. it would glitch and my car crashes. making me lose time every playthrough. I went around it by not trying to steer there. and boom. I binged this game so much as a kid. i still have it. And i have the original discs. but i ended up pirating it just so i could run it on my PC. Runs on windows 10 thru cracked version. I just cant install it from my discs because of their requirements being so old.
Good god this is so 90's I coulda sworn I heard Rocko's Modern Life hit my TV as I pumped up my Air Jordans, playing my GameBoy, and eating my Dunkaroos
I used to love this game as a kid, the visuals were so fascinating to me as a kid, especially that outdoor level in the backyard, or going through the house.
When I was a kid, I once took a look at the game's files and realized that the textures for the cars were all bitmap graphic files. Had a bit of fun customizing my cars using MS Paint. :)
+Lazy Game Reviews This was one of my favorite games as a kid, my parents got the Hot Wheels computer as a kind of first computer for my brother and I, and we used to play this all the time.
The only thing I remember about this game is being jealous at my cousins for having this to play forever while I was stuck with the same copy of LEGO Racers I'd had for years. Good times.
I grew up with Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing myself. Not the first game I ever owned by far, but it was the first one that was technically mine. It was on the PS1, but it also had a PC version. I think you'd like it, and it would be nice to see an LGR video for a childhood favorite. Seeing the videos for this and it's sequel reminded me of it. I still have that game, still fun too. It helps that the game's them song is "Fuel" by Metallica.
This game was the one of the highlights of my small library of games when I was, like, 3 years old. I remember all of the cool stuff you could do with the tricks, how I would time the green room level so the music would be cool as I passed a specific area, and that I made it a mission to collect all of my favorite cars from that game, which I only partially completed (I only ever got the two blue cars). I could go on and on about the nostalgia this game brings me.
No, there was no floppy release. Probably thinking of the yellow Hot Wheels floppies that were part of the "Computer Cars" series in the mid-90's, which is very different from HWSTD here.
That game looks like a lot of fun. I remember playing with hot wheels when I was a kid. Played them up until Toy story and Small soldiers arrived in theaters. Never played with toy cars ever again but I would have played with this game had I owned it at the time.
I'm 28 and I grew up with Theme Hospital, Doom, Sim City 2000, Duke 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior, ... But also Maupiti Island, Populous, Syndicate, Rodland ... ( -> lots of Amiga / Atari ST games too) so LGR's videos are filled with nostalgia. Thank you LGR !
I'm happy I came across this, I had different Hot Wheel cars as a kid. Moved on to LEGO though since I could put "people" (minifigs) inside those vehicles.
A friend of mine had this at his place so I would get up early, eat my breakfast, get ready for school, and walk down to his house just to play it for a bit before we leave for the bus. It was SO much fun! It was very tough, but you gotta line the car up with the track and remember EVERY detail of every track! The best way to get points was pressing down left or down right and try to land backwards. I saw this at a thrift store and I didn't hesitate, brought back memories!
I played this so much as a kid I haven’t thought about it in over 20 years and it just popped into my head today thank for for RUclips and the internet for having videos and info on anything and everything you can think of at a whim
I love the graphical style of this! It reminds me of the Theme Hospital cutscenes - that soft and distinctly computer game style that you don't really see anymore now that realistic graphics are possible. All those worlds (heh, levels...you know you're an old school gamer when: ) look so inviting, I miss the element of fantasy and escapism in videogames.
I remember Hot Wheels Velocity X on my pc...... it was the first pc game I played as a kid. I can always go back to that game today and still have fun..... if LGR did a review on that game that would be the best
Man I played this so much when I was a kid, in fact everyone in my class was playing it because we were all sharing burned copies, I never knew who had the original. I tried playing again a few weeks ago and had forgotten just how challenging it was to finish a track within the time limit, now I remember why it felt like such an accomplishment to beat all the tracks.
I can't believe nobody can create a game like this but uses REAL PHYSICS and multiple camera angles, allowing you to WATCH the cars go. Kids these days don't get it I guess. Everyone wants to be in CONTROL, i.e be the DRIVER. Playing with Hotwheels, to me, was and still is all about making tracks, and watching and figuring out which cars work the best on your tracks. Every stupid Hotwheel game I've seen is all about you being the driver. NOT ONE single Hotwheels game captures the REALISTIC way of playing with these things.
+supercommando440 Isn't this basically just an endless runner game? I feel like it's basically a more trial-and-error Temple Run, since the courses are predetermined and you have thousands more actions ( even if they're mostly just twisting the car in various angles ) that aren't always intuitive to figure out.
I'm 17 now, but I used to play this game all the time when I was little (something like that), along with "The Incredible Toon Machine" and "Hercules Action Game" 😂 I still go back to them every so often.
I used to love this game when i was little but I was bad with game discs and I scratched it along with my std2 copy :(.But the nostalgia always comes back to me when I play it,I even used to try and recreate them in my house,my parents were not pleased with the mess I had made.
For some reason I absolutely LOVED this game when I was little. It also was a time where After Dark screensavers were a huge hit in my household. I loved how many of them were interactive. I think an episode dedicated to old screensavers would be terrific!
holy ... ok, I had this game. I 100% forgot about it until seeing this video, but it all came rushing back (along with other memories from the same time period) that was a particular flavor of nostalgia i haven't tasted in a while. haha thanks man!
I have no idea if it was my favourite, the entry level or the most maneuverable; I seem to think I remember picking the gold coupe, and orange double engine hot rod the most. Also driving backwards all the way from the first jump for max stunt points. Oh what, secret track? Ha! Oh the nostalgia of all just six tracks.
Man I remember getting this for christmas in 1998. I actually got in trouble because I knew it was there and what it was and I opened it the night before to get the car out. This was the first game I was ever "good" at on pc.
Oh man. I played that game so much back in the day. I never successfully completed a track (I was real little back when I played it), but I always had some degree of fun with it.
This game reminds me of being a kid summer in the early 2000s when life was much more peaceful. As an adult, I look back on those times with true delight
There must have been a second Hot Wheels game out there because I remember playing one a lot like this. It had a dirt track, car wash in one of the tracks, and a few other things that are different than this one. I never knew there were more than one.
![Claw: Monolith's Pirate Platformer for Windows 95 [LGR]](/img/1.gif)
The FMV looked so convincing as a kid it felt like teleporting to another place and it was amazing.
That's no exaggeration, I felt exactly the same as a kid. Stunning to see such realism!
+Lazy Game Reviews You ever going to review the second one? What about shogo, the anime themed fps with mech suit combat, overshadowed by the release of half life?

I had no idea, huh... after all these years
I legit had no idea there was a secret track, and I played the crap outta Stunt Track Driver when I was like 8.
Wait, you can unlock all 12 cars and none of them are DLC extras?! That's just crazy talk, man!
spiff2268 WHAAAaaaght?!
DLC wasn't nothing in 1998
fcking DLC´S! >:0
That’s not crazy talk! This is crazy Talk!
Gahblablabala! Gahblabalbla! Blah Blah blah! Blblblblblbl!
Good burn against Milestone.

"HotWheels STD"
-LGR
Its the best STD one can catch.
The FMV video with a little rasterized car in the foreground has to be the most ghetto solution of providing cheap 3D gameplay. I love it!
It worked though.
Me too....I don't know what it is, but I love old 3d FMVs like this. Especially this house setting. Reminds me of the 90's and early 2000s.
Such an amazing game! I never owned it but one of my friends had it and it was super cool to see him play it.
There was actually a demo of this game included in some Hot Wheels sets that contains it's own original level not found in the main game!
It's called the Hot Wheels World Adventure Sampler, and contains a number of the "city" types of sets.

I played the crap out of this as a kid.
the pool hall level was the coolest shit as a kid.
That level made playing pool awesome
Bliced I could never unlock it
I feel it. When i was younger, i kept failing at that one part. the last turn than the final straight foward finish. in the turn. it would glitch and my car crashes. making me lose time every playthrough. I went around it by not trying to steer there. and boom. I binged this game so much as a kid. i still have it. And i have the original discs. but i ended up pirating it just so i could run it on my PC. Runs on windows 10 thru cracked version. I just cant install it from my discs because of their requirements being so old.
I remember my game used to crash sometimes before I got to it
Good god this is so 90's I coulda sworn I heard Rocko's Modern Life hit my TV as I pumped up my Air Jordans, playing my GameBoy, and eating my Dunkaroos
koalie yummies and pogs.
I “played” this, and I was born in 2001!
I used to love this game as a kid, the visuals were so fascinating to me as a kid, especially that outdoor level in the backyard, or going through the house.
Oh no, the memories, the nostalgia, its too, much....
Mike Man There can never be enough
That pool table level, THAT POOL TABLE LEVEL. PURE EVIL! I could never beat it.
When I was a kid, I once took a look at the game's files and realized that the textures for the cars were all bitmap graphic files. Had a bit of fun customizing my cars using MS Paint. :)
Wow
The opening 30 seconds of this video is the most precious thing on this channel.
Also a totally relatable feeling as an adult in their 20's.
does it run on the hot wheels computer? lol
Yep, it actually comes with the computer.
+Lazy Game Reviews
This was one of my favorite games as a kid, my parents got the Hot Wheels computer as a kind of first computer for my brother and I, and we used to play this all the time.
+Outcast115 do you still have it
Yeah, It's in storage at my parents place. I don't think they would have gotten rid of it, I probably have the game there too.
The only thing I remember about this game is being jealous at my cousins for having this to play forever while I was stuck with the same copy of LEGO Racers I'd had for years. Good times.
dude, Lego racers fuckin rocks
matthew boudreau Yes it does.
It's just that 7 year old me took it for granted and wanted something new.
I had the same problem
VRRRRRRROOOOOOOM. Well, that as an adorable, child like intro. Also, the backgrounds with the fast racing car against it make me want to vomit.
why its funny to find your comment here
You're probably not gonna like Hot Wheels Unleashed then.
I fucking loved this game as a kid. Fucking LOVED it.
Hot Wheels STD? What kind of STD is that?
burns, burns where?
Nobody knows...
stunt
track
drive
I believe it's fuel treatment... No wait, that's STP.
Robert Jung It burns rubber!
I think LGR is now becoming my childhood nostalgia channel. You're just making me remember all the games I use to play on the PC back in the late 90s.
Holy. Shit. I never thought I'd see this again.
whoa I had no idea this was FMV as a kid
I grew up with Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing myself. Not the first game I ever owned by far, but it was the first one that was technically mine. It was on the PS1, but it also had a PC version. I think you'd like it, and it would be nice to see an LGR video for a childhood favorite. Seeing the videos for this and it's sequel reminded me of it. I still have that game, still fun too. It helps that the game's them song is "Fuel" by Metallica.
This game was my childhood. I honestly still play this game because it's so amazing.
The custom track creator was the best for only one reason... VOLCANO BLOWOUT!
Oh my god.... My childhood is coming back. I got a demo CD of this, probably from a cereal box. I played it all the time!
Wow as a kid (and up until now) i never knew that secret track was there!
This game was the one of the highlights of my small library of games when I was, like, 3 years old. I remember all of the cool stuff you could do with the tricks, how I would time the green room level so the music would be cool as I passed a specific area, and that I made it a mission to collect all of my favorite cars from that game, which I only partially completed (I only ever got the two blue cars).

dang had no idea the background was just a video, interesting!
the nostalgia man, i used to love this game

Thank you LGR !
I'm happy I came across this, I had different Hot Wheel cars as a kid. Moved on to LEGO though since I could put "people" (minifigs) inside those vehicles.
I remember getting Hot Wheels STD 1 & 2 in a combo pack, from Scholastics (if anyone remembers that from school).
Some smoke and brandy you would make a perfect Duke Nukem-voice!
I had this as a kid, I can feel all the nostalgia.
I used to play that game all the time and I recently found it and started playing it again, and it's as good as I remember
A friend of mine had this at his place so I would get up early, eat my breakfast, get ready for school, and walk down to his house just to play it for a bit before we leave for the bus. It was SO much fun! It was very tough, but you gotta line the car up with the track and remember EVERY detail of every track! The best way to get points was pressing down left or down right and try to land backwards. I saw this at a thrift store and I didn't hesitate, brought back memories!
Great video. That really brought me back. Now I have to go track down a copy of the game for myself.
OMFG, the intro almost killed me. LMFAO
I played this so much as a kid I haven’t thought about it in over 20 years and it just popped into my head today thank for for RUclips and the internet for having videos and info on anything and everything you can think of at a whim

I was waiting for you to do a review of this game! Such a classic, I spent much of my childhood playing it!
I remember playing this game so much as a kid. Thanks for doing a video on it. You brought back a lot of good memories :D
I remember Hot Wheels Velocity X on my pc...... it was the first pc game I played as a kid. I can always go back to that game today and still have fun..... if LGR did a review on that game that would be the best
THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD PUT INTO A RUclips VIDEO
thank you
Watched a few of your videos over a fairly long period of time, it was seeing you play with cars that earnt the subscribe though.
Seeing this review put a big smile on my face.... I still play it from time to time.
I played this so much as a kid. And yet, I never new about that secret track. Mind. Blown.
I had this growing up and played it every day. I actually still have the disc and box art on a shelf in the home office.
Played this so much, actually I've played this game about 3yrs ago and brought so many memories. Great review
Oh my geed, the intro to the game when the semi pulled up brought so many memories😂❤👌
'Oh my geed' You're Gheed?
:O
Man I played this so much when I was a kid, in fact everyone in my class was playing it because we were all sharing burned copies, I never knew who had the original. I tried playing again a few weeks ago and had forgotten just how challenging it was to finish a track within the time limit, now I remember why it felt like such an accomplishment to beat all the tracks.
Oh my god I had this as a kid and it hasn't crossed my mind since I was like 7. The nostalgia hit me like a brick.
That Carnivores box at the start of the video is torturing me! I've been waiting for years for you to review it. So many fond memories.
as soon as the music started my brain exploded. is that why it's called a nostalgia bomb
I can't believe nobody can create a game like this but uses REAL PHYSICS and multiple camera angles, allowing you to WATCH the cars go. Kids these days don't get it I guess. Everyone wants to be in CONTROL, i.e be the DRIVER. Playing with Hotwheels, to me, was and still is all about making tracks, and watching and figuring out which cars work the best on your tracks.

That is such a good point :(
+supercommando440 That would be a really boring game.
+Ozterkvlt Because roller coaster tycoon is really boring.
sugarfrosted it's not boring cause it's a theme park simulator
+supercommando440 Isn't this basically just an endless runner game? I feel like it's basically a more trial-and-error Temple Run, since the courses are predetermined and you have thousands more actions ( even if they're mostly just twisting the car in various angles ) that aren't always intuitive to figure out.
I used to play this so much it was insane. I still remember all the sounds
I'm 17 now, but I used to play this game all the time when I was little (something like that), along with "The Incredible Toon Machine" and "Hercules Action Game" 😂
I still go back to them every so often.
I used to love this game when i was little but I was bad with game discs and I scratched it along with my std2 copy :(.But the nostalgia always comes back to me when I play it,I even used to try and recreate them in my house,my parents were not pleased with the mess I had made.
Look at young Clint playing with himself.
wait a minute. . .
Pause
You are now my favorite youtuber hands down. Your taste in video games has been confirmed for god tier.
For some reason I absolutely LOVED this game when I was little. It also was a time where After Dark screensavers were a huge hit in my household. I loved how many of them were interactive.
I think an episode dedicated to old screensavers would be terrific!
I remember making the track go on forever with that editor, it was funny because it stacked on top of each in a way not physically possible.
Oh man, that music brings back some good memories. I didn't expect that you reviewed this game!
I used to love this game a few years back,. Played it a lot. I enjoy watching videos of old games that we all love
holy ... ok, I had this game. I 100% forgot about it until seeing this video, but it all came rushing back (along with other memories from the same time period) that was a particular flavor of nostalgia i haven't tasted in a while. haha thanks man!
Oh yes! I played this so much as a kid! Thanks for the review Clint!
It's a combination for me. I still enjoy all my favorites from the 90s, much more than modern games, so I can appreciate even older gems too. :)
omg that was the only game i had ever play on pc when i was a kid, and it gave so much fun and memories, thanks for making a video on that game.
Maaaan I remember this game. It was awesome. I wonder if I can find it on eBay.
I never really played with Hotwheels as a kid. Micro Machines though? Hell yes.
Ohh gosh, I friggin loved this game as a child!! This brings me back!!
I have no idea if it was my favourite, the entry level or the most maneuverable; I seem to think I remember picking the gold coupe, and orange double engine hot rod the most. Also driving backwards all the way from the first jump for max stunt points.
Oh what, secret track? Ha! Oh the nostalgia of all just six tracks.
I always watched these videos when I was younger
STD... oh no.......
I used to play with the track editor for hours! Man I wish I could find my copy.
+RedCalx Z just get one on Amazon they should be really cheap now.
Hot damn I remember this game. I could never get past the pool room track
I love how they use the old blue track from when I was a kid!
I always had a hot wheels car or three in my pocket as a kid. and I instantly recognized the music in the intro section. fun
Fun fact: finish the race backwards for better fireworks. I'm sure you mentioned it but now you know.
Quite correct. Without my beard, I don't have a beard. Whoa.
Love the Vector you’ve got. Didn’t know they made that mad thing into a Hot Wheels car.
Man I remember getting this for christmas in 1998. I actually got in trouble because I knew it was there and what it was and I opened it the night before to get the car out. This was the first game I was ever "good" at on pc.
Whoa!
Oh man. I played that game so much back in the day. I never successfully completed a track (I was real little back when I played it), but I always had some degree of fun with it.
i swear even though i'm not a kid, there are still times when i could have hours of fun with a couple of cheap hot wheels cars.
This game reminds me of being a kid summer in the early 2000s when life was much more peaceful. As an adult, I look back on those times with true delight
HOLY COW! I remember playing this a lot as a kid. You know to push the right buttons, Clint.
There must have been a second Hot Wheels game out there because I remember playing one a lot like this. It had a dirt track, car wash in one of the tracks, and a few other things that are different than this one.
I never knew there were more than one.
I love you for this video. All of that damn nostalgia... I played this game all day long when I was a kid.
Hi Clint, another great video :) I see that one of your racing favourites, Re-volt has been released on the Android play store now as well.
I feel like this was locked away in my mind somewhere and you just unlocked it
I had this as a kid and never knew about the secret level. You just blew my mind.
I used to play this game (and it's sequel) all the time as a kid. Simple game, but enough to keep me playing.
