California Dreams published a little game back in 1989 called Street Rod, and it’s a title a lot of us remember very fondly.

Tyler Thomas wants you to experience some of the great car games of the past. We’re talking the Street Rod series and Motor City Online, games that all met with varying degrees of success at their prime. Tyler’s dream is to bring his creation, Hot Rod Hustle, to the masses. To have thousands of building, modifying, and racing their very own hot rods. To have everyone experience the rush of winning in a pinks race, and the humiliation of losing all that you hold dear. The only way that’s going to happen, though, is if he can raise the money he and his team need to complete the game the Hot Rod Hustle Kickstarter campaign. (Read More)

Do you remember Motor City Online? No? Don’t worry, most people don’t. It was a unique MMO from EA released in 2001 that discarded the usual mages and fighters you normally see online in favor of American muscle cars.
