Extreme-G

Extreme-G is a futuristic racing video game developed by Probe Entertainment and published by Acclaim Entertainment, featuring an original trance soundtrack. It was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1997, with a Japan release on May 29, 1998. Despite the competitive landscape of Nintendo 64 racing games, Extreme-G received moderately positive reviews and achieved commercial success. A sequel, Extreme-G 2, was launched in 1998, followed by two additional titles: Extreme-G 3 (2001) and XGRA: Extreme-G Racing Association (2003). In 2024, the game was re-released through the Nintendo Classics service by Throwback Entertainment, which acquired the rights to the game in 2006.
