"What was that game?" thread

Postby NotoriousA » Wed Jun 13, 2012 4:31 am

Ever remember playing a game back then, but couldn't remember it's name? This thread is the right place to ask! Just describe the game as best as you can and hope for someone to answer you.

I'll start off with this one:

There was this futuristic vehicular combat game that I used to play on my computer, I believe the game was released around early or mid 2000s or late 1990s. The vehicles were hovering or suspended on the ground, and I do remember that a vehicle was like a race car, another one was a jeep, and another was a truck, you could also choose which colors for each vehicle. You and other vehicles destroy each other with shooting and some other weapons, I believe there was a wrench power-up that fixes your vehicle, of course, that one is common. Some of the tracks I remember has a green sky, takes place in a yellow planet, in outer with the surface of a red planet in the background, a track that has multiple floors with a blue background, and also a red metallic place. Can anyone please tell me what game this is? I don't have any screenshots and if I did, well, I'd probably know the name of it.

Nope, not that, the graphics were shinier, and the floor is usually either metallic or chain-link.

Still wrong, I believe it makes a metallic noise when you select anything in the menu.

And I believe the menu's background is greenish black and white.

Okay, so there was this game I played at my friend's house, it was like completely based on different kinds of VW Beetles, and you had multiple game modes (Off-road, track racing, time trial, long jump etc). I remember a blue car in the Long Jump mode.
EDIT: The fonts in the menus were similar to this font:
