A fantastic game for the original PlayStation console, Jet Moto 3 combines colorful graphics, excellent racing controls, and a rad techno soundtrack for the ultimate 1999 video game experience.
Like many PlayStation games during this era, this was my older brother's game. He and I would often race one another for hours on end. As he got older and his interest in games waned, I would race my friends in the neighborhood. We all loved Jet Moto 3. Its race courses were so unique and unlike anything we had seen before. The soundtrack was incredible and always stuck around in my head. Plus, who doesn't love a Mountain Dew hoverbike?!
Looking back on it, the fun memories I had of this game absolutely hold a special place in my heart. As I watch a long play video of Jet Moto 3, familiarizing myself with all the tracks I knew by heart as a young kid, I'm saddened mostly by the fact that I can no longer find a legal way to play this game, as well as that the series died here.
While it was no Mario Kart, it was a simple racer; sometimes that was what young 90s kids needed.
