There's absolutely no way anyone except me has played Gearheads, but it was pretty fun. These days, if something like this was made by one person on Steam, it'd probably be much more successful. As a retail release in 1996, on the shelves next to Quake and Mechwarrior 2? lol, nope.
SuperKarts was also fun (you know it's obscure nowadays when you have to specify ”superkarts game”, otherwise you just get videos of real karts), and there was a real dearth of arcade-style racers at the time on PC. IIRC this used the Wolfenstein 3D engine.
Nope, I had Gearheads on my old Windows 95 PC, absolutely loved it. Used to keep spamming the laser robot and bombs.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
