8 Forgotten Video Games That Should Be Revived

8. Rollcage

Last Release - Rollcage Stage II (2000)

There have been a number of successful variations on the traditional driving genre throughout the years, ranging from those that focus on specific racing niches to those that throw reality out of the window in favour of a fast-paced and frenzied experience

With two titles released on the Playstation in 1999 and 2000, Rollcage was one such series. Created by Psygnosis, the sorely missed Liverpool-based publisher responsible for both the Wipeout and Destruction Derby games, it enabled frantic racing by allowing players to drive on both walls and ceilings without any gravitational restraints.

The original game was similar to Wipeout in more ways than one - weapons could be used to alter the outcome of races, whilst an electronic soundtrack helmed by an established artist (Fatboy Slim) was utilised to create a fitting ambience.

Rollcage Stage II added to the offerings of its predecessor with demolition-based mode variants. Sadly it wasn't followed by any further titles, though the multiplayer options on the Windows version remain popular for several years.

A Kickstarter campaign was launched for Grip, a spiritual successor to the series, in 2015 but cancelled after it made less than a quarter of its funding goal. An early access version is available on Steam and the official website still mentions more details on a console version due in 2017. Time will tell if it ever sees the light of day...
