Play Extreme-G Online

Extreme-G came out on the Nintendo 64 in 1997, developed by Acclaim Studios London. It was part of that wave of early N64 titles that pushed the system's capabilities, especially with its sense of speed and futuristic aesthetic. It stood out for its focus on high-velocity combat racing at a time when many players were still getting used to 3D worlds.

You control a rider on an armed anti-gravity bike, racing through twisting tracks while battling up to three other opponents. The main goal is straightforward: finish first while surviving enemy fire and hazardous track sections. Key mechanics include collecting power-ups for weapons and shields, managing your bike's energy system (which drains with boosts and recharges slowly), and hitting nitrous pads for bursts of impossible speed. The game moves fast, and the difficulty can spike sharply on later courses. It feels like trying to thread a needle while riding a lightning bolt.
