Digging into an obscure budget Japanese street racing game from 1996, C 1 Circuit, I was struck by a curiously melancholy feeling, thinking about this ghost town of a virtual city. One where I might be the first person to have seen it and driven along its expressways for years.
Screenshots definitely giving a "this could actually be a modern ps1 aesthetic horror game" vibe
There was a Ubisoft racing game called "Pod" which very much gave me that feeling.
Haunting. I wonder if anyone has entered hyperspace in the Star Raiders universe in the last decade? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Ra...
I remember I'd get the same feeling visiting old, deserted sims in Second Life that were still having their land paid, but the visitor count and number of avatars present with zero and they were made with old prims and just yeah, a deserted virtual relic.
PS1 I have a vague memory of this in a Blockbuster video store i think.
Feels like a clone of "streets of sim city" but with less explosions..
