- Monster Truck Madness is a racing game developed by Terminal Reality Inc. and published by Microsoft Game Studios. Released in August 1996 exclusively for Microsoft Windows, it was one of the first games ever to support Direct3D, Microsoft’s newly released hardware-accelerated 3D graphics API at the time, as part of DirectX 2.0. As a result of running on specialized hardware, this renderer allowed much higher performance in 3D applications, and so, more complex shader effects and models could be computed faster.
As a monster truck driver, players compete in various off-road events across the United States. The game offers several modes including single race, tournament and drag racing. Each event challenges players to navigate through courses filled with obstacles such as jumps and bumps while managing their truck’s speed and balance to avoid crashes.
The game features a variety of monster trucks to choose from, each with their own unique attributes, such as weight, speed, and durability. The player can also customize their truck with upgrades, such as engine enhancements and tire upgrades, to improve their performance on the track. The game offers a selection of different tracks, each with their own unique layout and obstacles, providing a diverse range of challenges for the player.
As the player progresses through the game's various events and competitions, they earn prize money and unlock new trucks and upgrades. The ultimate goal is to become the top monster truck driver in the world, and the game offers a comprehensive leaderboard system that tracks the player's progress and achievements. With its high-speed thrills and customizable trucks, Monster Truck Madness offers a unique and exciting racing experience for fans of off-road racing and monster trucks alike.

I played so many hours of this.
You're not alone!
Same here buddy
me too! I think I was 2 or 3 when I first played this game. Needless to say, I didn't understand what I was doing, I just loved moving the truck around and having that helicopter rescue me
We used to play this in class when I was 5 years old 😂 I remember the cheat that turns you into a huge top heavy dinosaur
I was a kiddo when i played this❤
I always did anything BUT race the game. I drove into the lake, crashed into other cars, the vans, audience stand. Drove backwards, drove into signs and haypiles. Memories
My childhood. My Damn childhood! I played this game most of the day - and I was 5-6. I’m not even an English native and I couldn’t understand a word but I still loved it!
I feel that too bro 🫂
I remember playing this game. I always drove in the opposite direction. I loved crashing into the other monster trucks. And driving into the road signs and the hay bales and into the RVs. I never cared about winning, I cared about destroying.
😂
This was the first game I ever played, literally. I was probably 3 years, one of the first memories I have. It was like magic to me, it was the first time my dad let me use the pc and I was stunned, the fact I could go off road, that I would pass through the mud and get slower. It was the moment I fell in love with games
This makes me miss the Windows 95 days. Great times with dialup internet, geocities, and blue screens of death that we'll never get back.
I remember playing this when I’d go to my grandparents house as a kid. So much nostalgia. I was a horrible racer. I didn’t even try to race I’d just drive around and explore. I remember discovering the soccer field with a big ball on one of the maps and being so excited
This and Motocross Madness were a huge part of my early teens. Used to play these games for hours, doing very few objectives, and just smashing around the environment with a big sh!t eating grin on my face.
First videogame i played in my life. So many hours spent. Feels nice to revisit on youtube after 25 years
Same here
me too
I miss these times. Played this game for hours. This was when monster trucks were awesome. I remember when i went to MSG to see them. Great shows, great games etc
I’m 29 and my childhood beef with “Carolina Crusher” for always kicking my ass has been reignited 😂
😂
I used to drive off course and just go climb mountains😂
Same lol
everyone did that. For hours
Me too but I played the sequel to this version.
For days
"Bigfoot is on it's tippy toes" just ignited so many memories
Well that was a nostalgia hit. Only had the demo but played it endlessly. I'd drive off into the mountains and see how far it would let me go and if there were any interesting jumps. Simpler times haha.
A demo, same here, weirdly enough i was so amazed and played it for hours and hours
Me too!!
I did the same thing, great memories with this one 🙂
The game had procedurally generated terrain when off road, right? That amazed me back then - my 1st ever experience with the procedural generation in games
As a kid I would get off the road and start driving towards the hill textures, thinking it would eventually lead me to mountains, but it was an endless driving towards plain textures
I think this was one of, if not the, first PC games I ever played. It was probably a demo or something I played, because you could only choose to drive either Bigfoot or Bear Foot. It was probably only one game mode as well.
I also played the demo. Look at this game and understand that I love racing and cars since childhood. I played it a lot too.
I too owned the demo but I mostly drove off road. I remember looping the map after driving long enough.
It was fun to go off track, knock over the port-a-jon and you'd hear someone yell "Hey! I'm still in here!". 😀
Imagine trying to take a shit in the porta john and having grave digger push you around the track 😂😂😂
@@kyleholmesWROM589 Well it INSTANTLY cure even the worst case of constipation, for sure! 😀
I was 9 when this came out and got this game with a steering wheel and pedals for my birthday... Spent so many hours playing it.
Wish Bigfoot would make a return to today's competition.
Can only be the Trustmaster T1 or T2 steering wheel. I don't think there was any other back in the day. A friend of mine had one. Made me a Simracer in the end ;D
@@Karl-me4mh It sure was, a Thrustmaster T2 and I played with it until it died, using Dad's Packard Bell Pro PC in his office. I recall that was a bloody expensive computer at the time. Luckily Dad travelled for months at a time for work, so I didn't have to share too often.
I got a wheel upgrade and my own computer a couple years later, when NFS High Stakes came out, because you could get the HSV SV99 and XR8 Falcon. Man that was exiting for a 12yo Aussie kid! Running from the cops in a 300kw HSV, you'd do life in prison nowadays in Australia for that kinda behaviour lol. I wasn't a huge gamer, but as a young hoon I just HAD to have a setup to play that. One day in the not too distant future, I'm going to get my hands on an example of both those cars and complete the dream. I'm not far from being able to justify the purchase now. Although they're not getting any cheaper!
Amazing how these things can spark a passion that drives the kid inside for life huh?
I only had the demo and played the first stage over and over when I was 7 😂
samee here xD it was so good! even tho i didn't know what the fuck i needet to do (gamedemo in english, i'm german) :D
me too XD
i used to play with friends and my brother by counting the finish time
We really all lived the same childhood 😁
@@mckeanwilliams1309 I feel that during even the 90's even though you lived in the US or Western Europe the life was pretty much similar in games, movies, music etc. Much stuff came to us in Europe from U.S.
@@EpicMovieMoments yeah probably the whole western world to be honest because I’m from the Caribbean
Man I’m old 🤣🤣
Carolina Crusher is doing it in the air!
The TRI intro is an absolute KILLER.
One of the first pc games I've ever played.
Man this game brought me hours of fun. Half of the time I didn't bother racing though, and just used to roam around exploring, knocking things over, putting the tough blocks and things on the road so the other trucks hit them. Watching it now, the graphics look worse than I remember them. Quite good for 1996 though.
Haha exactly same :D
Yup. I used to drive all the way to the mountains in the distance until I couldn’t go any further.
do you ever taste the old memories? like when you see something really old from your childhood, it has a taste 😢
I do too... they taste like fine wine :)
Memories man damn
as a child this was peak graphical performance i had the shareware version and enjoyed every second of it
I must have watched that intro seriously 1000 times as a monster truck obsessed kid.
I literally just randomly thought about the moment where you hit the porta potty and the guy inside says “I’m still in here. “
Can never forget that intro music.
I remember just climbing mountains and unaliving cows
Oh yes 😂😂😂😂😂
If you run over one of the portapotties, there's a voice that yells out, "HEY, I'M STILL IN HERE!"
Lmao
This and motocross madness. Mannnn what am I even talking about that's crazy
I played the hell out of this game. My family didn't have a lot of money but we did have a windows 95 Packard Bell PC. There was one track that had porta-potties and if you ran them over people would yell at you.
Hey I'm still in here!!
The person IN the porta potty.
I only had the demo. I never had money for the full game, and that was okay. Becausse the demo was plenty of fun.
One of my first video games
The render distance was like 50 feet. Didn't notice that 20 years ago. Lol
ME TOO ;D
on old CRT's you wouldn't notice
Monster Truck Madness 1 was one of the main games that go me into online racing and one of the games that got me into making my own mods, such a amazing time.
Wow got this game free with the purchase of a brand new 133 mhz micron in 1997. It’s hard to explain how special technology was back then vs the disaster it is today.
Had Pentium 133mhz as well :) My first ever pc. With 16mb ram, but we upgraded it to 32mb ram :)
@@CliffuckingBooth haha awesome! With that upgrade you were living life on the edge!
@@javedk Yeah good times mate, good times...
In 1996 I had the 3dfx Voodoo1.
Holy shit I finally found this game that came with the cereal
When the world was cool 🫡 the days.
My very first computer game, thanks for uploading this. ☺️
This bring back so many memories, like this comment so I can always come back to this
Wow.. I remember killing this game back in the day... Overkill was always the fastest truck.. Also, there were insane shortcuts, from the top of my memory in that first race...you immediately go off to the right into the grass to checkpoint 1, and then after 6 I remember skipping the road completely and jumping through and over the mountains straight to the finish (among many others). Was awesome times!!!
Yeah!
Oh my days😢 this is the game!!! That green truck with the wing!
that intro reminds me of my dad playing that game on his old netbook
I had the steering wheel and the footpedals for this it was so awesome
I use to walk around, jumping over bridges, moving those stationed van, and i remember when I hit that crowd area, the sound changed from cheering to chaos
awesome game for the time
My brother and I played countless hours of this as kids. The track stuff was boring, we would just get out into the mountains and play tag for hours, doing massive jumps and trying to not stack it while chasing each other.
Oh man, my Pentium 1 gaming days!
i got goosebumps from the theme, holy shit what a trip back in time
I used to play this for ages. Imagine using the time for something useful :D
This was a favorite when I was younger.
I loved this game!!!!!!!! Give me a off-white tower and windows 98 and Im good
Used to love this game my dad had it on his computer best game ever he wouldn’t lemme always play it all the time but when he did it was fun as hell
We used to play the 2nd one a lot in the office during after hours.
Big foot is in the air
The track editor that csme out for this made it even better on multiplayee
back when Microsoft was making some quality games
They did not make this game. It was Terminal Reality that did.
i dont remember the draw distance being this bad! man i had good times with this. "Hey, im still in here!"
uff mi primer juego de PC, vino versión demo cuando mi viejo compró una Voodoo 3DFX
I dont remember the draw distance being so short.
It was, lol Especially in third person.
In primary school, year 2 (UK) a teacher once asked me what my favourite type of car was, and I answered 'monster truck' because of this game. They didn't like my answer, I hope they would have if they knew where it came from
Aaah back when Billy made cool software instead of trying to reduce world population.
Good times.
My greatest triumph as a young PC gamer was being in 3rd/4th place on the last lap of this game, then flying over the field using the ramps(and sometimes other trucks), to soar over the leaders and stick the landing without crashing, right before the finish line and stealing the race. Better graphics and sequels came along. But nothing will ever compare to the crazy push to the limit game physics and novelty of Monster Truck Madness!
brings back memories
This sends me baaaaaack
The Theme music is so good
Nostalgia
Used to love entering cheats and getting the Trex 😂😂🦖
Memories :(
Big nostalgia
Liked for the nostalgia trip
Grande jogo! Viciante! Conheci em 1998! Se eu encontrar, comprarei novamente! Quem tiver e quiser me vender, entre em contato!
I had the demo of this
I loved this game. And now I also remember why I switched off the music... Not that it was bad. I was just done with it after a while.
I loved the music. Even put the game's CD into my CD player to listen to it by itself.
anyone else feel like rocking out to this somewhat hard rock music on the crazy 8 track? or is it just the main theme song that i feel like rocking out to?
Classic game, awesome.
Holy crap! The nostalgia!
The first Direct3D game, what i met.
Anybody remembers the dixie horn? LOL
That's what I came to hear
@@kevinberryman3152 hahaha kinda wanna have that on my car 😂😂😂 but yeah… I don’t think he pressed H on this video
I remember this game, g police and twinson's odyssey. And the Neverhood. Those are the video games I grew up with
Old days dude 😢 i was 14years old it was one of my favorite and hercules game quake 1 and 2 and shadow warrior 97 and nba and mortal kombat 4 and moto racer 97 😢dam old memories
Hercules graphics card
first 3d game i ever saw. blew my mind back ten.
"The technology, the real trick of it, is still in there. In a darkened room in an empty building with a dirty floor, it waits. The flashpoint, the origin of Truck Heck."
Quite sure the game didn't look this smooth on our old compuer back then. As in, it looked more pixelated. It's possible I didn't know how to change the settings back then. Or couldn't.
6:12 - Weird. I do not remember this song from the game. Edit: Yeah, this one doesn't seem to be on the uploaded soundtrack list.
We used to play this on PC at school, we were really young back then. It was in 1996
One of the first DirectX 2 - 3 games that helped DirectX become the standard in the gaming industry later with version 5
DirectX only really caught on in the early 2000s, when 3dfx's Glide started to lose relevance after their bankruptcy. Until then, Glide and OpenGL ruled almost alone.
@@AlphaYellowand there was no real need for DX to become relevant in the first place. It was only a scheme to make MS richer at the expense of everybody else.
3:14 there were physics in games already in 90s? daamn why didn't they do it in fps game sooner :')
I still have the game. When I played it, instead of going the long way around, I would make the left turn and use the partially built bridge and jump over the road.
언제 어떻게 플레이했는지는 기억나지 않지만 확실히 이 게임을 했었음. 이걸 구글링 몇 번 만에 찾다니 운도 좋지 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
First game I ever played
I had the program loaded on my computer would go to the Zone and race shark hunter was my racing name
I’m pretty sure there’s a cheat code to turn in a dinosaur. I think you just type trex in game?
Join us here on Discord group about this game! discord.gg/tjTQAbFdqQ
You might be thinking of Need for Speed 2.
@@jh1328 no, hes right! you turn into the same blue trex from crazy eight
Jep, typing TREX did the trick
Terminal reality made Fury3 which is another Microsoft home title. Sucks they never made anything after the 2000s that was good.
I had that game!! The soundtrack was amazing
Funnily, a lot of the code in Monster Truck Madness 1&2 comes directly from Terminal Velocity and Fury³
How great was the physics with the shocks .
Thank you for this great oldie! But, how can I make it run on Windows 10 64-bit? With FULLHD Monitor? I also play MTM 2,these days. Nostalgia overload 🙄
You can probably run it in DOSbox.
as I remember it was kind of an open world - every track you could drive far away outside - and it was like infinite field and then you are coming back to the track somehow, so there was no end of the map, or was it?
Yeah, there were some hidden secrets out there. I remember when you'd drive into one of the outhouses you'd get somebody yelling "HEY I'M STILL IN HERE!" for example.
Yeah at least in MTM2 it's like a torus or Pacman map, you could drive out into the wilderness and arrive on the opposite edge of the map. I wouldn't say "open world" cause it still only loaded one track at a time.
In the Arizona map there were cars one could crush on the far left side of the downtown part, also in the Hawaii map there was a random secret little mini track that was basically just a circle also also in that one map that’s set in like old English mountains type of area there was a soccer field with soccer balls and goals and stuff
omg nostalgicc this and another game they had on my library computers at school i cant remember name but it was like comander keen
I just realized how stupid my childhood was.
