Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012
From the studio behind the first two Twisted Metal games comes a post-apocalyptic vehicular combat game where "auto-mercenaries" fight for control of a sole tourist.
Overview
Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 is a comedic over-the-top vehicular combat game developed by SingleTrac and published by GT Interactive Software for the Sony PlayStation in North America on October 6, 1998 and in Europe on November 30, 1998.
Developed by the studio behind Twisted Metal (Game) and Twisted Metal 2 (Game), Rogue Trip builds on the over-the-top vehicular combat nature of their previous games with a gameplay mechanic where you players fight over a NPC "tourist" and bring them to special "photo op" spots for cash.
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic near-future 2012 United States, which is turned into Bigdaddyland: a series of expensive vacation hotspots created by the obsese megalomaniac Big Daddy. Players control one of 11 eccentric "auto-mercenaries" of the A.A.A. (Amalgamated Association of Auto-mercenaries), who sneak less wealthy tourists into these hotspots through heavily-armored attack vehicles to earn a profit.
Along with a comedic Americana theme, the game features a ska punk soundtrack, including songs by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
