comment
A Racing Game / Vehicular Combat series created by Cryo Interactive in 1993.Taking place in The Future, MegaRace is a series created by Virtual World Broadcast Television.note Or VWBT for short. Designed to inject a little excitement into the monotony of everyday life, MegaRace lets whoever is interested participate in high-speed races against vicious criminal gangs that the rule the roads of the future. The catch is that the races are entirely virtual, so no harm befalls anyone.The host of MegaRace is the eccentric Lance Boyle, who initially encourages the contestants, but won't hesitate to insult them if they fail.The entire trilogy is available on GOG.com and Steam.

Game-Breaking Bug
 MegaRace (Video Game) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug: Finishing a race with your weapons disabled causes them to be disabled by default in the next race, and not all tracks have symbols that can restore your weapons. While not game-breaking, there's a bug that replaces some of the level introduction videos with earlier ones if you've reloaded at all. The only way to see them all is to play through in one sitting, without dying.

New Game Plus: Completing the game on the "Novice" difficulty will automatically start the game over on the "Hardened" difficulty, with all the cars unlocked. You can start with the "Hardened" difficulty right away, but the cars won't be unlocked yet. Loading a game that's been beaten on "Hardened" lets you select any of the tracks, including the two bonus speedways.

Cyberspace: Though many of the racetracks are real, physical places with the racers and cars are only being holographic projections, some of the tracks are 100% virtual reality. The prime example being "The Skyholder" bonus track from the first game, a track that twists and turns on itself while suspended in midair in an Alien Sky.

comment
Pre-Rendered Graphics: In the first two games, the backdrops of the cutscenes, which feature live actors, and the racetracks themselves are pre-rendered. This is most noticeable if you drive backward on the tracks in MegaRace 2, since the Fixed Camera was obviously not intended for that. The first game is on-rails, so you cannot drive backward in that one. The third game is rendered entirely in real-time, though the cutscenes are still live-action.

Guilt-Based Gaming: Lance will belittle and insult the player for quitting, but if you quit after a good winning streak (namely, each environment at least once during a single session) this is averted; then he'll compliment you on your skill and say you've earned a break. However, if you quit after crashing in the Skyholder, even though it's a Bonus Stage, you'll still get the same "Look at that loser crawl away to die!" ending that you get for immediately quitting after dying, even if you've otherwise got enough of a winning streak to avoid that or the "The Enforcer can't take the heat, huh?" ending.

Car Fu: One of the possible ways to defeat the speed-gangs. The most common way, in fact, if you suck at conserving ammo. This isn't an option during the Skyholder track, because you will instantly crash, but at least you play on no matter what happens there.

Futuristic Superhighway: Several tracks from the first game, such as The Orbital Junkyard, a racetrack in the middle of an Asteroid Thicket, and Particle Accelerator, which, as its name implies, takes place in a gigantic particle accelerator. All the tracks MegaRace 3 have a futuristic aesthetic.

While not game-breaking, there's a bug that replaces some of the level introduction videos with earlier ones if you've reloaded at all. The only way to see them all is to play through in one sitting, without dying.
