Play Vigilante 8 (G) Online
Pick a beat-up muscle car, load it with missiles, and blast through gas stations just to watch them explode—the handling’s janky in the best way, and that crunchy guitar riff kicks in right as you T-bone a school bus.
Vigilante 8 came out for the Nintendo 64 in 1999, developed by Luxoflux and published by Activision. It arrived during a time when the N64 had plenty of racing and action games, but it carved out its own niche with a focus on vehicle combat set in a stylized 1970s America. The game didn't try to be realistic; it embraced a kind of chaotic, arcade feel that stood out among other titles on the system.
You control one of several armed vehicles, each with unique weapons and handling, and your main goal is to destroy rival drivers across various open arenas. Signature mechanics include picking up weapon power-ups scattered around the map, using special moves unique to your vehicle, and causing environmental destruction like blowing up fuel pumps or triggering rockslides. The pacing is fast and often unpredictable, with matches that can turn quickly based on who grabs the best weapons first. It feels like a messy, explosive playground where every collision and missile hit delivers satisfying feedback.
