A shame, because MM3 is my favorite of the 3. So unless MS had a change of heart, I can't see them porting it to PC.
Id still be playing MM2, but some idiot smashed my disc back in high school many, many years ago.
MIDTOWN MADNESS 3 BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE MOD
What made those games great was the ridiculous mod support. Apparetnly MS wasn't willing to pay any $ for it, so no 360 bc. There was never a Midtown Madness 3 PC port because Microsoft believed that keeping it on the Xbox console would draw the MM1 & MM2 crowd. He asked them about MM3 and was told that DICE still had legal ownership of the engine MM3 used. 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. There was legal issues with even making MM3 backward compatible on the 360. 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. So I suspect it wouldn't be as simple as releasing the original editions on Steam. MM2 in particular has really baffled me, as I couldn't even get it to run on my WinXP SP3 rig. 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. Using priority same day shipping (if before 2pm on a standard working day) your order should arrive in 1-3 days. I'm a big fan of the series though, so I'll bite.
