I bought MCO back in 2002, when I moved into an apartment and finally had cable internet. It was the first and only online game I paid a monthly fee for. On a broadband connection the experience was great. It was a really fun game, I had a lot of fun for a few months, and then EA pulled the plug on the servers. That was the day I vowed to never again pay for online-only games. The car customization and building was a fantastic aspect of the game. It was a great game and plenty of people were still playing it when they killed the servers. I'm still salty about it to this day.

EA claimed that there weren't enough people to continue supporting the game, but I played it right up until they shut the servers down and there never seemed to be a shortage of players. My guess is that there were plenty of people playing it but they just didn't feel it was worth it to keep the servers running. EA seems to be quick to shut servers down for games that are a couple years old.

The modifying and building up of your own car and engine with decently accurate component simulation, and racing for actual stakes (your car if ballsy enough), has never been done since. I made some serious real life cash selling in game currency on ebay. Actually bought my first real car at 17 because of it. I owe MCO so much...

I was a hardcore MCO fan. EA refused to put any money into marketing it. Adding imports did not go well at all with the spirit of the game.

I was a tester for this game for a few month before it went online. The game was incredible for its time. You started out with a plain car then went to the garage and bought upgrades. The challenges were great. It also had an option to take pics of your car and save them as you upgraded. I was 45 when I did t he testing and have missed it ever since. I went thru many racing games but was never as excited by any of them. I may try and get the version you are running just for the nostalgia. Thanks for making the video it brought back memories.

Man do I miss Motor City online I used to play the shit out of this every afternoon until it was gone! I remember the drag race was so competitive you could replace every part of the car and people were tweaking and modifying and everything was just out of experimentation until you got the perfect time. The 32 Ford Coupe was a great car for drag races, and I remember playing until I could afford the 1970 Mach 1 Mustang for sooo long. Thanks for covering this, sorry you didn't get to play online back in the day. I would be surprised if no one has ever made a personal server for this. Like I said people were super competitive

This game was awesome at it's time. In the game you received a paycheck, i don't remember if it was a once a day thing or what. But you earn money that way and from races. You bought a junker, went on an auction house and bought parts to fix and beef up your rat rod! Parts from different engine blocks, camshafts, headers, exhausts....all which had an affect on your car. There was track racing and drag racing as well. I "think" you could race for slips, im not sure. They kinda redid this game and it was called Need for Speed World, but it wasn't the same, it lost a lot of what made MCO great. An that game is shutdown too. I wish MCO would get a proper remake.

On top of that, with 'Cloud Gaming' being sold as the future, we may never even be able to play a game like this in the future period. I am glad that there has been some effort to allow Motor City Online to be playable after it was long gone. I hope that the Destinys and Overwatches of today will get this treatment in the future so that they never truly go away.

It was an attempt of EA to let MCO appeal to a different audience. The cars were hated by a lot of the MCO players.

This makes me want to play midtown madness 2 for some reason.

I loved this game so much. It was so far ahead of its time. The online aspect lasted too short. Mixing engine parts and getting different and unique results was so much fun. Thanks for putting this out! Cheers!

Man, I LOVED this game. I remember putting a '69 Camaro up for auction over a Christmas, and coming back to a surprising sale amount and buying all kinds of fun stuff. Hate they pulled the plug. Thanks for sharing these nostalgic scenes.

I'd love those camera options in more games. Too often driving games let you maneuver the camera manually, but move or snap back to a default, which means you can't get it where you want without constantly holding a joystick.

I played this game from its release. It had some of the most detailed upgrade paths. every part of the engine was upgraded. And the combos you chose made a difference! pistons, cams spark plugs, heads etc. then as you progress you could add blowers etc. plus trans suspension tires body etc all upgraded and it was based on cars from the 30s through the 80s so it was amazing.. kind of dated but amazing game!!

This game was amazing back in the day. Would love to play it again. It was a pretty sad day for the MCO 'community' when EA decided "Sims Online" was to take priority and our "$15 a month" which was insane back then, still wasn't enough to justify keeping the 1 west coast, 1 east coast, and 1 midwest server going.

I’ve always wanted to play this game but for some reason it wasn’t available in Europe (or at least in the Netherlands). I’d love to see EA do a remake of this game. It would be so cool to see a racing game set in ‘50/‘60s rockabilly style. A breath of fresh air in all the modern racing games with Rocket Bunny and Pandem wide body kits

I'm seriously impressed by this game's graphics! Never played it, but watching you play made me feel like a kid again haha If I knew about this game when it came out I would totally be hooked and glued to that screen :) Great video as always!

I played this game religiously as a kid, to this day it's the best car game I have ever played. It was like a racing mmo rpg. You could truly build cars in this game. It was all about power to weight ratios and car classes. Not sport, street, or racing "kits" but real branded individual parts and the selections was huge I believe it was over 2000. There were chat lobbies with different scenes like the diner, the top leveled players in the chat would get there cars in the parking places. I spent hours chatting with people watching cars pull in and drive out. Clubs would host car shows in these lobbies where you could pay an entry fee and everyone would vote on who has the coolest car and winner got the money. I hosted and participated in these all the time. Cam shafts, pistons, engine blocks, springs with different spring rates, super chargers, nitrous kits. and everything effected the way the cars drove from weight to rpm ranges the way it handled even the exhaust sound. I had a folder full of print outs with different build combination for different cars at different tracks and kept track of what works and what doesn't. It was everything games like forza horizon try to be today with so much more detail. Rare parts and cars with special modifications or paint jobs you could only get through online auction or trading other players. They even started adding player submitted paint jobs to cars and then auction them off. I used to wake up before school to check auctions and bid on cars with rare parts to get them cheaper than what they were worth on the open market. Then use those rare cars and parts to sell or to win top times on tracks for myself and my club. Stuff like chop tops that had better aero and top speed, convertibles, fenderless, bumperless, to decrease weight and different combinations of them all. Weekly leader boards to compete for the top times, bragging rights, and cash prizes. Turf wars that required people working together in clubs to get the best average top times. Everyone started with a rusty car, in the beginning you could barely afford to repair your car after races so you had to keep racing with damaged cars. or do sponsored races where everyone drove a predetermined car. Parts wore out and had to be scrapped. even car bodies wore out if you raced them long enough. Even with the game coming to an end it was a lot of fun the Dev's who were very active in the game and you could chat with them in lobbies or race them in events started giving out crazy cars. like cars with no hoods or other body parts. I was given a hoodless convertible gto. They started adding modern cars just for the hell of it. Oh and I almost forgot all the one time special holiday themed stuff you would get that would become rare. My favorite cars were my chop top reaper camaro, fenderless bumperless chop top skull coupe, sponsored convertible vette, and of course my formula firebird with rare parts that would dominate goose point with a setup so good people would give me their formula and pay me to put the same parts in it and trade it back. or I would lend it out to club members to post times with for turf wars. My dad even played, he got so competitive in it he bought a racing wheel and upgraded from aol dial up to our first broadband internet connection.

When I heard about this game around 2012-ish I was devastated that it had simply vanished. And I never saw any videos about it. Now I randomly stumbled upon your video and I'm super impressed, what an incredible game for the time.

Racing in MCO was really only a fraction of the fun. There was as great, friendly community, and the car customization was bananas.

The Supra and Eclipse.. Let me tell you a little story... So a little movie came out in 2001 called The Fast and the Furious. What were the two hero cars of that movie? An Eclipse and a Supra. So MCO was getting stale, they didnt want to update it, no new cars, pay to win wasnt a thought of thing yet ect, so to test if the gamers wanted muscle cars or tuners, they used MCO as a guinea pig, injecting the car bodies in to see what would happen. Well...Since we hadnt had new cars in a very long time, they got bought by literally everyone. The hard core racers loved them because they were light and had a lower co efficient of drag, and the kids bought them because duh, imports. EA missread this data as, nobody wants muscle cars, and scrapped MCO for Underground. Thats it, it sucks, we wanted more old cars, tracks and an updated c=game engine, but were scrapped in the import craze.

Getting the rare parts when they popped up in the shop was insane! People actually bought and sold game currency on ebay for it! I hope I can get at least this much to play again!!! Thanx for this!

We're in the same boat LGR! This is my first time seeing this game. Back in the late 90's I was obsessed with NFS games but MCO was really out of reach. My family can't afford a fast internet connection at that time. Great video. It just makes me sad that the NFS series will never be like this. The race tracks were really creative back then. It was like a theme ride. Today NFS race tracks are bland and boring. If EA is really serious in bringing this franchise back to life they need to bring back themed tracks.

The game was officially shut down a few years back. There is now an open-source recreated server Soapbox Racing World, which has issues with online races, but open world and bot races work fine. Oh friend list doesn't work either.

With your windows XP machine built now you should check out Hot Rod: American Street Drag. My friends and I would play for hours after school

I'll forever be immensely entertained by LGR playing driving games

Wow 2001. You always have a way of making me feel old and nostalgic all at the same time lol

12:12 NFS Carmageddon style :-D

Wonder if this game would’ve gotten ported to the Dreamcast if EA supported the console

So cool never even heard of this game. I would of loved this as a child. Great video lgr

Motor City Online... wow, I remember that one from back in the day, but it had totally slipped my mind until now. Thanks for the nostalgic jogging of the memory, LGR ;)

Clint, have you ever played Street Legal Racing: Redline? Incredible early 2000s game, still unmatched in terms of gameplay today.

Wow, Forza Horizon 4 looks like real life. I was like, is LGR gonna show us his real car? On a hill?

FH4 is pretty good, better than FH3 by a lot and I drove 25,000 miles in that game

10:40 I love it when you crack up about stuff. Your laugh makes me laugh. Good stuff, man. Please keep up the good work!

Clint, you always put out a video about what I'm currently writing about :P

Could you imagen playing Carmageddon 2 with these levels and this amount of level customizability? (The weathers, choosing Day or Night variants, ect.)

Also a lot of tracks, playable driving the route opposite direction and/or mirroring so each track can be run four ways.

An awful lot of little details scattered around the place - Especially for an online game WITHOUT microtransactions and WITHOUT DLC. How the hell did they afford to make this!? /s

I played this game all the time back in the day. I was in a fairly large racing club as well. The customization of the cars, the officially licensed parts, the community feel, seeing you car pull up to the diner in the lobby if you were high enough in the ranking. The game was pure awesome back in the day. The racing itself was really only one half of the experience. It really is too bad this "hack" doesn't show off the other half. Every online racing game I play, even today, makes me miss MCO greatly. I'll definitely be installing this - I still have my MCO CD! :)

I played so much of this game when i was young. it laid the ground work for my love of pc gaming and racing. I played in the morning before school then at 3 when i got home i would play til 10 at night for months on end. I still have my copy. Go in peace and drive like hell!

Could you please do a video on Drift City? That was a big part of my childhood

Sharing this with my NFSCheats Alumni :) cool video!

This was the best car game I have ever played. The car builds were insane, I remember selling car setups for in-game money. You could choose engine compression, cam size, carbs, heads, rear gear ratio, transmission, springs, shocks, all brake components. If your car was not set up right, you would get destroyed in races. I was in a club called "Tin Indians", we were a bunch of Pontiac fans. We would also go into the file and change the car skins, like making a general lee and all types of special paint, only the person that changed their files could see it, but it was still amazing. The car and part auction were also amazing, once in a while, rare parts and paint schemes would pop up. The auction was also a great way to make money, I would get up at a certain time in the am when servers had fewer people and watch the auctions, buy special parts and then just relist them for more money. Thanks for the video, this game is dearly missed

so MCO had RTX before nvidia? *IMPRESSIVE*

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was.

Personality. Something this newer era of racing games from the 7th and 8th gen consoles seem to lack

I loved that damn game. I was totally bummed when they shut it down and it didn't make sense to me at the time, because it was still an active game. Haven't thought about it in almost 20 years. Thanks for the memory rerun!

I was so hyped for this game. I still have my Beta disc they sent in the regular snail mail. Was so excited for this back in the day.

had my hopes up reading the title and the description, watched the video and i'm disappointed, it's arcade style. this is not MCO at all, and there has never been another racing game like it since, and if you were one of the original MCO player's you know damn well what i'm talking about. Those hours and hours of part by part trying to build your car and testing it.

This is the best we can do right now. Unless you think you can do better and reverse engineer the codeand create a server, i wouldn't be complaining.

This has been bothering my mind for a few years now, does anybody know the name of a racing game from the early 2000s where you race with regular cars but you have pickups like in Mario Kart (snowballs, force field, gaint front bumper etc)?

I was absolutely in love with MCO when it released. I was heartbroken when it went offline. A great taste of Electronic Arts screwing over it's customers to protect it's worthless IP. Unfortunately, the real magic of this game was the menus, classifieds, and modification portions. There was nothing like racing for pinks on the drag strip.

Oh man that take me back racing games were my favorite games doesn't matter which one it was all about the cars and customize your cars how you wanted as well the awesome music
