Street Rod - The game

Street rod the game is a fun old computer game. You build up old rides and race them for cash or pink slips. This game has been around ages, I am sure some folks here have played it but its worth posting it up since some might not know about it. I found a free download for it.

I used to LOVE that old game. there was a street rod two also!

 

Hell yeah! I played the hell outta that game when I was a kid. Good find.

 

I was tryin to keep things traditional so I didnt mention street rod 2

 

I remember it well. I played it constantly. I was amazed that a game would let you customize the car and paint it. Even though on my 4 color screen the paint jobs weren't worth the trouble. Now they have all these fancy new games like Gran Turismo where you can customeize the car. We need a GT quality version of Street Rod. I might just play that game.

 

I still have that game somewhere, but I lost the book. Somehow the book was needed. I forget why.

 

There was a guy working on Street Rod 3. He was just doing it in his spare time, because he liked the first two. Doesn't look like it's going anywhere though. http://www.streetrod3.com/

I agree that a modern version would be HUGE. Heck, I would buy a PC and set it right next to my Mac if that's what I had to do.

 

Only problem is...Gran Turismo is about as close to actually tuning/driving a race car. Except, the only "Customizing" it lets you do is attach a wing and whatever randomly selected wheels are available.

Maybe...something more along the lines of Forza/Midnight Club...only without the whole "arcade racer" feel...or all the "bling".

 

It's not a free download, you gotta pay to subscribe to get access to the "free" downloads they offer.

At least thats where the download links took me, your milage may vary.

 

That's what I got too. I used to play that game like it was going out of style, or wait it already was in terms of technology. Great game though.

 

I've got a link somewhere give me a sec and i'll post it up.

Here's the link - http://www.streetrod3.com/cl***ics.php

Just click the download link and it should work.

 

try the link for for the 3rd game they have it in there

 

Thanks Bern, that link worked and I've already played a game.

 

I used to LOVE this game. I had the original, plus a disk that was bought later that allowed you to buy different cars. I always ask people if they've heard of it, and that answer is almost always no. Wish I had a pc to play it on.

 

Both 1 and 2 were fun. Did anyone ever beat 2? Whenever I raced on Mulholland, I would always hit a large gray streak in the road and wreck.

 

Yeah, Mulholland never worked for me. I just spent my time in the aquaduct (is that the right term?) and saved my pennies that way.

 

No probs for the link - i actaully hunted it up the other day and still had it lying around

 

it's not free to download,it says to pay.

 

I'm waiting for "Rat Rod" the game.



Do they have a game where insted of buildng a car you can just buy one................?

lol.

 

Man- that takes me back to goofing off in high school CAD cl***... I wonder where I'd be today if I had actually learned CAD instead of how to race for imaginary pink slips.

 

Here is a link to Street rod 1 and 2.

I beat Street rod 1 never did beat street rod 2.

As for SR 3 its not going to go anywhere, graphics are not that good. I did all the sounds for it, but never got credit oh well. More or less there has not been development on it for awhile...

I wish there was a game like that with decent graphics....

 

I actually did beat 2, but it was so long ago I don't remember how. I try not to play video games any more! You get addicted!

 

oh man....did me and my buddies play the **** outta this game..that was like14 years ago now...holy ****..I'm startin to get old..haha...loved that game...think I may need to download it..hahahaha

 

I'm new here, thank you for welcoming me. My grandson found a orginal disk of street rod and ask me to set it up for him. Things went well until in asked for the color of car on page. I don't have the book anywhere and I can't find it on the internet. Does any know where I can get the key to start the game? I'd kind of like to let him ( 8yrs old) know about some of the cl***ic cars and cl***ic PC games. If you can help I would appreicate it, post or email me if you can send me in the right direction. Thanks BCWT
