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?
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.
I agree.
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
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!
"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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
That pool table level, THAT POOL TABLE LEVEL. PURE EVIL! I could never beat it.
I played the crap out of this as a kid.
Oh no, the memories, the nostalgia, its too, much....
Mike Man There can never be enough
Holy. Shit. I never thought I'd see this again.
I fucking loved this game as a kid. Fucking LOVED it.
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.
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
This game used to be my absolute all-time 100,000% shit. I would play this game until my soul bled. They need to remake this game with like 40 new levels and a full featured create-a-track. I'd play it until Al Gore shut off the internet.
I second this. Definitely need a new stunt track driver game. The Hot Wheels expansion for Forza Horizons 3 is pretty similar to what I want, but it's only a little expansion pack.
@@rameynoodles152 the physics weren't the best either for the HW expansion in Horizon. Actually the physics have been a little wonky since the second game tho.
whoa I had no idea this was FMV as a kid
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.
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!
The custom track creator was the best for only one reason... VOLCANO BLOWOUT!
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.
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.
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.
This game was my childhood. I honestly still play this game because it's so amazing.
dang had no idea the background was just a video, interesting!
OMFG, the intro almost killed me. LMFAO
Wow as a kid (and up until now) i never knew that secret track was there!
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!
I had this as a kid, I can feel all the nostalgia.
I remember getting Hot Wheels STD 1 & 2 in a combo pack, from Scholastics (if anyone remembers that from school).
the nostalgia man, i used to love this game
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
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.
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'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 was waiting for you to do a review of this game! Such a classic, I spent much of my childhood playing it!
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.
Great video. That really brought me back. Now I have to go track down a copy of the game for myself.
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!
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.
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 man, that music brings back some good memories. I didn't expect that you reviewed this game!
STD... oh no.......
Played this so much, actually I've played this game about 3yrs ago and brought so many memories. Great review
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 TH-cam and the internet for having videos and info on anything and everything you can think of at a whim
Seeing this review put a big smile on my face.... I still play it from time to time.
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.
Dude, you were ON FIRE the day you filmed this review. No pun intended lol
omg omg you helped me to remember that game! i must find it again hahah! nice video! subscribed!
Oh yes! I played this so much as a kid! Thanks for the review Clint!
The camera angles in your intro Hot Wheels scene were wicked, hahah
I played this so much as a kid. And yet, I never new about that secret track. Mind. Blown.
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
You are now my favorite youtuber hands down. Your taste in video games has been confirmed for god tier.
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.
Oh my geed, the intro to the game when the semi pulled up brought so many memories😂❤👌
'Oh my geed' You're Gheed?
:O
God this is so nostalgic it hurts. Somewhere, in a parallel universe, five-year-old me is having the time of his life playing this. I hope he never has to grow up.
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.
HOLY COW! I remember playing this a lot as a kid. You know to push the right buttons, Clint.
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.
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. :)
I love you for this video. All of that damn nostalgia... I played this game all day long when I was a kid.
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 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.
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 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.
Love the Vector you’ve got. Didn’t know they made that mad thing into a Hot Wheels car.
I remember playing this game! It was awesome as heck!
I used to play this so much it was insane. I still remember all the sounds
What the hell? Like in december I was looking all over for this game and now you make a video about it? Still awesome XD
I feel like this was locked away in my mind somewhere and you just unlocked it
Ohh gosh, I friggin loved this game as a child!! This brings me back!!
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 used to love this game a few years back,. Played it a lot. I enjoy watching videos of old games that we all love
That intro was the best thing I've ever seen.
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.
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.
The beginning was awesome! :D
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.
Aw yes, brings back memories. Glad you showed the TV smash as well, always was fun to crash the car into that.
An STD begins with an intro sequence?
Thank God, that means I'm safe.
I had this as a kid and never knew about the secret level. You just blew my mind.
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 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
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.
THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD PUT INTO A TH-cam VIDEO
thank you
Youv'e covered every game I've ever played. That's gotta be an accomplishment
as soon as the music started my brain exploded. is that why it's called a nostalgia bomb
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.
P.S. I feel like that you've mimicked Duke's voice so many time, that your voice is slowly turning into his.
And that's awesome.
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!
This is the best intro ever for anything.
I never knew about the secret track! time to boot up the Hot Wheels computer and see if my old save game still lives
