Monster Truck Madness Free Download for PC is a racing video game developed by Terminal Reality and published by Microsoft for Windows 95. During development it was referred to as Heavy Metal Truck or by the internal codename Metal Crush.
Development of Monster Truck Madness started in 1995 as a DOS monster truck racing simulator named Metal Crush. After getting funds from Microsoft and licensing to use real life trucks, Microsoft decided the game must be run in a Windows 32-bits environment, like other TRI games published by Microsoft (that were ported to the Win32 API, like Fury3, a Win32 game based on the DOS Terminal Velocity's engine). The game was ported to Windows and it was renamed to Heavy Metal Truck for a short period of time. « View full review »
Heavy Metal Truck had a very primitive user interface, only 2 tracks (Indiana State Fairgrounds and Arizona), 5 basic trucks and it included a truck editor and a free roam mode, features that later were excluded from the final product. During the development of Heavy Metal Truck, a more user friendly graphical user interface was added, the stock trucks were removed and replaced from real life licensed trucks, and the name of the game was renamed to Monster Truck Madness.

Gameplay
A racing game, Monster Truck Madness allows players to select between the 12 real life monster trucks and compete with AI players in one of four modes — drag (based on PENDA Point Series), circuit, rally and tournament. It is also possible for human players to race against one another via DirectPlay.
Drags
In drag racing mode, monster trucks compete to be the first to cross a set finish line. Drag tracks has 2 lane styles, the straight and J-style.
The straight monster truck drag lane has 2 sets of ramps that lead to two 3-car jumps. The first ramp sends the player flying to the first 3-car jump, with the second jump coming up quickly. Once the player has cleared both jumps, the player have to make his way to the finish line as fast as he can. The J-style tracks add a tight turn between two sections of track: The first section is a straightaway with two jump ramps followed by the second section with a 5-car jump that sends the player to the finish line.
