Microsoft's Midtown Madness is a frantic computer racing game for the IBM PC released in August 1999 set in downtown Chicago, from Wrigley Field in the north to the highway exchange south of McCormick Place. You get your choice of vehicles, including a Ford Mustang GT, a Cadillac Eldorado, and a city bus. Try not to hit the pedestrians or newspaper stands, and look out for the ever present police. What sets Midtown Madness apart from Microsoft's other big racing title, Monster Truck Madness 2, is that cars actually sustain damage during the course of this game: you can't crash into your opponents without putting sizable dents in your own car.

Detroit is one of the oldest industrial cities in the USA. It is situated in Michigan, USA on the Detroit river that connects Lake St Clair with Lake Erie. The site was visited by the French in 1669 and Detroit was founded as a fort in 1701 by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac with fifty French settlers and fifty French soldiers. It fell to the British in 1763, and was besieged by Pontiac; to the United States in 1783. On August 16, 1812, General Hull, with 2000 men, made an inglorious surrender of Detroit to the British and Indians under General Brock and Tecumseh. Hull was cashiered. Harrison retook the town in October 1813, after Perry's victory on lake Erie. From 1805 until 1847 Detroit was the capital of Michigan Territory and State.
