187 Ride or Die Windows Edition – Intense Vehicular Action Game

“187 Ride or Die” was released in 2005 on PlayStation 2, Xbox and PSP. No official PC/Windows version was ever released. Players wishing to enjoy this fast-paced car combat game on a computer usually resort to console emulators such as PCSX2.

“187 Ride or Die” is an interesting time capsule that reflects the world of video games in the mid-2000s, and is generally described by critics as “an over-the-top game despite its flaws, but one that offers a certain guilty pleasure”. Critics and players alike agree that the game’s over-the-top ‘gangster’ aesthetic is outdated and characterised by dialogue so riddled with slang that it feels more like a disjointed parody written using an online translator than a genuine street culture.
