XG2

The sequel to Extreme-G. More futuristic N64 racing, but of course everything is much better this time around. Released November 1998.

This has also been ported to the PC, but I didn't work on that myself. The PC version is pretty much a straight conversion of the Nintendo code, emulating the N64 graphics hardware, and requires a decent 3d card.
