California Speed is a racing video game originally developed and published by Atari Games for arcades in 1998, later ported to the Nintendo 64 in 1999 by Midway. The game features point-to-point races set across various iconic cities and rural landscapes in California, emphasizing high-speed arcade action and over-the-top track designs.

Gameplay

Players compete against computer-controlled opponents or other players in a selection of vehicles with either automatic or manual transmissions. Tracks are filled with hazards like civilian traffic and opportunities for stunts such as flips and wheelies. The arcade version supported four-player linked play, while the Nintendo 64 port featured Rumble Pak support and localized multiplayer.

Forklifts

In keeping with the game's chaotic arcade nature, forklifts appear as environmental objects on certain tracks. These low-resolution models serve as obstacles or scenery during the high-speed races through industrial or coastal zones.
