Does anyone remember that Gorillaz flash game? You basically just had a dune buggy and drove around in a 3D world over some randomly scattered obstacles and terrain.

That was my entire computer class in 9th grade.

(that and harrassing teachers with netsend)

Yes, and it was based on their video for the song "19-2000"

Omg thank you, this is giving me flashbacks.
No but, this reminds me of gorilla.bas (basic). If you remember THAT, that's something. My first ever game, written in basic :-)
YOU wrote gorilla.bas?! That’s so cool. Sneaking into the library computer at school to play and later edit and remix that game was a formative experience for me.
QBasic Gorillas was poggers, but I'm more of a Nibbles guy myself
I remember being introduced to QBASIC as a kid, and at the time the use of extended ASCII characters for the graphics in Nibbles.bas was legit next-level to me.
Netsend! I almost wonder if we were classmates!

I have unfortunately forgotten the gorillaz game though

Yes that was one of those bizarrely high tech experiences back then.
GET THE COOL SHOE SHINE!
