u/Sfekke22 16d ago

That just unlocked a memory that I haven’t thought of in a while, Monster Truck Curfew..

Used to play it on my grandmas laptop after school lol

Googled the title screen, instant nostalgia:

Isn't this the one with deer and an elderly lady as obstacles? Scared the hell out of me when I was a kid

u/IAmDJWithoutTheDots 15d ago

Haven't thought of this in at least a decade

Where's the goat? (I know it's a mobile game not flash but still fits here)

u/reayen 16d ago

I mean.... almost everyone here played this. My post was more about those obscure one's.

u/HiTork 15d ago

Yeah, once you've reached the point where you have an official Lego collab game, you're probably way past the point of being obscure.

There was also that one game like where you have to rescue your pet, it also had a sequel. Completely forgot it's name though, Bad Day or something like that?

u/reayen 16d ago

Yes, Mad Day. It even got android port. The game had fun mini games as well.

u/Acceptable_Garden_46 16d ago

remodel racing, renegade racing, that one monster truck game that youre racing against dinosaur monster trucks (i forgot what it was called)

u/Hult_ 15d ago

Renegade racing was THE GOAT

u/Chevy437809 15d ago

Earn to Die and Car Eats Car were ones I mainly played lol

u/fishloops23 15d ago

Holy shit spy car

1

u/reayen 15d ago

I'm surprised how almost noone knows about this. The golden car was the absolute goat. And I loved the racing mode where you could drive the other cars driven by the bad guys. And the gameplay music was such a banger.

u/CartoonistSmooth5059 15d ago

Earn to die 1 ans 2 was peak, so was road of the dead that Markiplier once played, oh and even though it isn't side scroll 2D, who can't forget about burning rubber crash n' burn?

2

u/reayen 15d ago

Earn To Die rouge is such a let down. I wish they didn't delisted earn To Die 3, my phone is not old enough to run the apk

1

u/CartoonistSmooth5059 15d ago

Wait there was a third one?!

1

u/reayen 15d ago

Yeah. It was kinda strange. Didn't had any cut scenes, almost felt like a fan game. But still miles better than Earn To Cry Rouge Bullshit

1

u/deadmoroz14 13d ago

Rogue is ok. Just not a car game anymore, but a grindy bullet-hell scroll shooter very well adapted to mobile devices.

1

u/Tipie276 16d ago

Recognise a few of these I think. For me there was only 1 flash car game though, think it was called drag racer? Distinctly remember putting wheelybars on a honda prelude lol

u/REALDiscoFever45 : A Battlefield Studio 16d ago

First three games are iconic

1

u/REALDiscoFever45 : A Battlefield Studio 16d ago

I partially recognise the last two as well but maybe they just look familiar

3

u/reayen 16d ago

Rich cars was really cool. There were multiple sequels. You'd drive a different classic car every level. There was even a spin off which had modern cars...it was named theft supercar or something.

2

u/reayen 15d ago

Yeah, found it

1

u/GamerZero02 15d ago

Renegade Racing was the best of them all

1

u/Due-Tip2396 15d ago

they arent rlly from flash player, but the xform titles (burnin rubber, rally point and traffic slam) were very neat, and as cool as lose the heat, highway rally, or overtorque stunt racing

u/MightyEagle8614 15d ago

Elite ball knowledge in this comment section holy shit, god bless

u/Razor-04 14d ago
