Anyone else used to or, (if you're like me), still play Vigilante 8 and Vigilante 8 2nd Offense for the Playstation? I honestly can't remember a game about cars and weapons that I enjoyed more when I was younger. The characters are great, the weapons are amazing, the levels are vast and there are plenty secrets and missions to complete to keep you playing. Oh and the cut scenes and songs were epic too! Anyone have any comments on these classic games from my childhood?

I had the N64 versions...but yeah, I thought they were great - much better than the Twisted Metal titles at the time, IMO.

I never liked them. They just couldn't stand up to the good Twisted Metals

They were certainly better then Twisted Metal 1, 3, 4, and Small Brawl. And I thought they were equally as good as Twisted Metal 2.

I remember playing V8 the first time on PlayStation. I thought it was almost as good as Twisted Metal 2, almost. It was FAR better than Critical Depth, Rogue Trip, TM 3, 4, or Small Brawl.

I ended up owning the game on N64, because it had the exclusive level. I still own V82O on Sega Dreamcast - one of the best parts of it is the inclusion of all the levels from the first game.

If you get a chance, I recommend checking out V8 Arcade on Xbox Live Arcade.

A friend downloaded it and I had a shot but nothing beats beats getting out the old Playstation controllers and playing a bit of Convoy or Houston or Beeswax lol, kicking some ass! P.S. I also had Rogue Trip, and wow that was terrible.

I had its predecessor (I think) Interstate '72 I think it was. Was about 12 years ago now so can't remember much, but through rose tinted goggles I thought it was a good game.

I have Vigilante 8 on the N64, and, no, you're not the only one that loved it. It was a great and fun game. I never got ahold of the second one, though.

Interstate '76 for the PC - there was also a sequel - Interstate '82 - which became a really nice mod for Battlefield 1942 - called Battlefield 1982.

It's cool a lot of people had them on the N64, I had totally forgotten about that. I was a purely Playstation child as my parents didn't understand that all consoles were not the same things lol. I did get a nice loan of a N64 now and then or played at other people's houses so I wasn't completely devoid of its glory!
