10 Beloved Cult Classic Video Games That Desperately Deserve Sequels

4. Mad Dash Racing

Any game that has a catchy soundtrack and a celebrity voice over deserves at least some attention, and Xbox exclusive Mad Dash Racing had everything it needed to succeed. The soundtrack’s title track was unbelievably catchy. I mean it’s up there with Sonic Heroes’ opening number (high praise if you’ve heard it), and Futurama’s Billy West turns up to offer his nasal tones – good so far.

If anything, Mad Dash was a bog standard, on-foot racing game with interesting tracks and obvious character profiles but it just hit the right note with everyone who played it. Bear in mind, this game landed around the same time as Kung Fu Chaos and look which one makes the list.

It just nailed that blend of enticing gameplay, great graphics, and quality music that all racing games are based on these days. A sequel would pay tribute to how much this game gave to the world - the story may have been bizarrely similar to Diddy Kong Racing's adventure mode, but who cared!? I want another chance to run around a weird planet as a mutant Warthog; is that too much to ask?
