And so I scoured through every level, trying to find something hidden, some secret unlockable, anything that would let me fulfill my (admittedly small-thinking) wish of having unlimited Hot Wheels tracks. I wanted to find some way to at least give my custom tracks elevation. I wanted to find a hidden track that would let me stop and wander around the level and change things. I wanted to unlock one extra-special, secret car, one that would make me win some hidden contest that would supply me with a lifetimeвЂ™s worth of Hot Wheels track. I played through every single level so many times that, just now, having not played the game in over ten years, I remembered all of the turns, how many flips I could put into every jump, when I needed to bank a little bit to the right to miss oncoming traffic.Д«ecause I absolutely, stupidly wanted it to actually happen.

There are six tracks, plus the ability to make your own tracks (on a 3D rendered garage floor, completely flat).Дespite these shortcomings, I played this game absolutely to death. If you land tricks you go faster, if you crash you go slower, and you have to beat a specific time. You can turn either way, a necessary around (what else) turns, and you can make the car do flips in any direction when going over jumps.

In a series of pre-rendered tracks, the player guides one of a selection of Hot Wheels cars through the standard loops, curves, and obstacles of any good Hot Wheels run.

Looking back (and playing a bit of it on a copy that I pried from the internetвЂ™s cruel maw), there wasnвЂ™t a lot to the actual game. Naturally when we discovered there was a game that promised that very thing we pounced on the first copy that we stumbled upon in a bargain bin. The idea of getting an unlimited amount of track, making the coolest loops and curves and races throughout the entire house fueled many a daydream and quite a few diagrams of the best way to utilize every space.

I, like all boys, also had a healthy obsession with Hot Wheels, those tiny plastic-and-metal constructs that one races across all surfaces, but especially along orange tracks which you never have enough of. My love of small toy cars that did improbable things wasnвЂ™t limited to Micro Machines. After all, what are video games and reading and movies if not a base form of wish fulfillment?Д«ack on subject, for a time. I know, weвЂ™ve already talked about expectations versus whatвЂ™s real in this post, but this is a somewhat different thing, and maybe more concerning. It was cooler and capable of flight because I wanted it to be. It didnвЂ™t look a lot cooler than a few other toy cars that I had. It wasnвЂ™t a faster car than the others, at least not in the tests we gave it. The problem with the car вЂњflyingвЂќ was that it was a dumb idea. This was probably because it kind of looked like wings and because the Micro Machine white and orange van-thing had a number of places that looked like they would be really sweet for a car to fly off of. This was the rule: white car could fly when its doors were open. Why was that one the coolest? Well, besides the fact that it was a convertible, the doors were on tiny hinges, allowing me to open them up. Of the cars that it came with, none were cooler than the white convertible.

I took it in to kindergarten for show-and-tell, once, and everyone was super-jealous. It also came with a number of Micro Machines (which were, by the way, the absolute coolest) and we played with it all the time. It was this huge orange and white van and it unfolded into a beautiful cityscape, covered in plastic buildings and rivers and mountains and, of course, streets. When I was six I got a gigantic Micro Machines thing for Christmas.
