I still remember the halcyon days of booting up my dad's computer and firing up the maddeningly addictive Microsoft's Motocross Madness. Arguably the best title in the now-forgotten "Madness" series of racing titles published by Microsoft, this game paved the way for my affection of off-road dirt bike racing games. It also served as an introduction to tricks and stunt pulling, which is imperative to succeed in the stunt mode section of the game. This ultimately led to an interest in games of similar fashion, such as the SSX series, Team17's Stunt GP, and the surprisingly robust Trick Star on the Game Boy Advance.
