Play California Speed Online
Race exaggerated vehicles through California, find shortcuts, dodge traffic, and battle friends in split-screen chaos to finish first in this wild arcade-style racer.
California Speed came out on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, developed by Midway Games. It was one of those arcade-style racers that felt right at home on the N64, a system that already had its share of fast, chaotic multiplayer games. It didn't try to be a serious simulation; it was just pure, uncomplicated fun.
You control a selection of exaggerated vehicles, from sports cars to a comically unstable golf cart, racing across California's highways and landmarks. The main goal is simple: finish first. Key mechanics include finding hidden shortcuts that often cut through buildings or off-road terrain, and a two-player split-screen mode that frequently devolves into aggressive, bumper-to-bumper combat. The game moves at a breakneck pace, and the traffic provides a constant, unpredictable obstacle. It feels like a reckless, joyful road trip where the rules are made to be broken.
