    Question ~1999 game, dark city, floating neon items, chemical disaster

    If I am remembering correctly, the vehicle was some sort of three-wheeled kind of thing with a covered top. I don't remember what the controls were like, but I don't think they were very complicated: I doubt it was beyond the arrow keys on the keyboard. I really can't thank everyone enough for...

    Question ~1999 game, dark city, floating neon items, chemical disaster

    I don't believe it was a point-and-click game: I remember there being basically a 3d environment the player was traveling through with floating neon items you could obtain if you drove into them, or miss if you drove past them. Thank you so much for all your help! I'm hopeful!

    Question ~1999 game, dark city, floating neon items, chemical disaster

    I don't think it was a minigame so much as just a particular level with a time limit. I'm pretty sure it was one of the first levels, if not the very first. Sadly that's all I have been able to recall despite racking my brains!

    Question ~1999 game, dark city, floating neon items, chemical disaster

    It definitely wasn't F-Zero X, (which I was the emperor of!) and it wasn't Wipeout either! I'm quite certain it wasn't a racing game, more of an adventure/puzzle game, although in what I remember you were racing against the clock to prevent the chemical disaster.

    Question ~1999 game, dark city, floating neon items, chemical disaster

    I'm 98% sure it was PC, I remember playing it on my sister's computer. The only console we had was Nintendo 64 so there's a slight possibility that it was on that. In setting it was definitely reminiscent of Blade Runner and the Fifth Element but I don't believe it was either of those games!

    Yes I believe it is 3D. My sister and I never got very far in the game because we kept losing and seeing that cutscene, but during the actual gameplay I recall driving left and right through alleys collecting bright and colorful floating shapes, then running out of time, then the "you lose"...

    Question ~1999 game, dark city, floating neon items, chemical disaster

    Hello! I can't remember the name of a game and it's driving me crazy! I posted this on the r/gaming and r/tipofmyjoystick forums but I haven't had any luck. If my description rings a bell for anyone you'll have my extensive gratitude! In the part I remember, you had to drive around a dim and...
