Making the Video That Made Gorillaz

I remember as a kid putting that cd in my computer and driving the car from the "19-2000" music video around. The physics were so mind-boggling to me at the time. I loved it. This article is bringing back those memories.

Actually, I'm not sure if that demo/game came from the CD or from a promo website. It's been so long I don't remember.

It was both. The game was called “Final Drive” or “GEEP Simulator” due to the name of the car and the original URL: http://web.archive.org/web/20011213230145/http://www.gorilla...

Here's a widescreen ver: https://archive.org/details/final_drive

It was a cool demo of the new-at-the-time 3D features in Macromedia Shockwave 8.5 (Director; not Shockwave Flash)
