Microsoft should re-release Midtown Madness 1-3 on PC/Xbox Backward Compatibility

I think seeing a lot of old MS games making its way back to Xbox backward compatibility and also the best part that they are coming to PC as well and on Steam too, I think they should re-release Midtown Madness games on PC, and yes MM3 was only a Xbox exclusive so it would be awesome to play it on PC now as we are seeing many old and new exclusives heading over to PC MasterRace :D

lol Talk about an off topic thread. I'm a big fan of the series though, so I'll bite. :)

I'd love to see them come to Steam with support for Steam play as they're 3 of my all time favorite arcade racers.I still own the MM 1 & 2 CD-ROMs and there are issues getting them to run on new systems. MM2 in particular has really baffled me, as I couldn't even get it to run on my WinXP SP3 rig. So I suspect it wouldn't be as simple as releasing the original editions on Steam. Angel Studios that did the development for both, went on to become Rockstar San Diego and are now owned by Take-Two, so MS might not even have all the rights to remaster it.

There was legal issues with even making MM3 backward compatible on the 360. I used to cry foul so loudly about MM3 not making the 360 bc list every month on a forum I used to post on, that a Swedish forum member actually tracked down one of the managers at Digital Illusion (now EA DICE) after some press conference. He asked them about MM3 and was told that DICE still had legal ownership of the engine MM3 used. Apparetnly MS wasn't willing to pay any $ for it, so no 360 bc. So unless MS had a change of heart, I can't see them porting it to PC. A shame, because MM3 is my favorite of the 3.

YES! Midtown Maddness 3 Was my childhood! I never got to play online on it though sadly :( But that game was so amazing. Had an obsession with police cars back then. Use to always chase my brother in the Koenigsegg CC with my "Cop Buddies"
