I still love building Lego cars to this day. I had a huge plastic tub filled with them. Legos being a special interest of mine as a kid made the game much more than the sum of its parts. But getting to build and race your own car creations was half the fun as well. Press gas at the right time during the countdown to boost, avoid obstacles, get power-ups and win. Gameplay-wise, it's a standard kart racing fare.

The game's box art and intro cutscene proudly display the game's seven circuit bosses: Captain Redbeard, a stock pirate fella with a simple but sleek treasure chest-engine car - King Kahuka, a hindsight racist tribal islander stereotype with a throne shaped car - Basil the Batlord, a vampire with a rad dragon-headed red and black low-profile car - Johnny Thunder, an Indiana Jones parody with a rather non-descript but cool looking car with head and tail lights - Baron Von Barron, Johnny's archnemesis with a sleek retro Jeep - Moth (whose name I will not say in its entirety), a blue alien queen with a cool blue moon-rover, and finally, Rocket Racer himself, whose autograph is scrawled across the game's cover art a man with his very own circuit named after himself, and a machine that screams *speed* with its arrow-shaped nose, cockpit style windshield, and rear rocket boosters. To my little 5 year old mind, these boss racers were on another level truly skilled drivers I would need to give my all to defeat. Then, I'd take them into the test drive area and show off to the little pixel crowd in the stands. I spent most of my time in front of it coming up with little characters and making them the coolest little cars a five-year-old could imagine. I don't exactly remember how long it took me to finish. When I think of Lego Racers, I lovingly remember the feeling of being at the family Windows 98 computer in what we called the sunroom (basically an afterthought built-on room to our house that faced west and had gigantic windows), and having my very first truly heart-poundingly tense moments before triumph in a game. There were definitely others I played around the time, my first personal console being a Gameboy, but I'll get to those eventually. LEGO Racers is a 1999 kart-style racing game released for Windows (and N64 and PS1, but I never touched those), and it is the game I most closely associate with my very young childhood. I was relatively new to playing video games and using the computer, but I knew enough to put the disc into the big tray, and wait for the autorun to hit Install. Rocket Racer, the game's final boss and posterboy, looked at me with his smug grin, and I knew I had to beat him.

I couldn't help but crack the box open on the way home to read the manual and stare at the art, still bathed in that odd peppery smell.

I distinctly remember the smell of the big box PC game's packaging as my parents pulled out of the Costco parking lot.
