Whenever anybody makes fun of me for having a steering wheel attached to my
PC I sit them in front of Microsoft Midtown Madness and they're hooked in
five minutes. The fun wore out for me pretty quickly (I have moved on to GPL)
but for (drunk?) house guests this game is a riot. They always end up in the
bus or the semi, smashing their way through traffic.
A competition may be a bit less fun for your guests, as the bar is set pretty
high in the checkpoint and "dash" races. But I think you'll find that just
watching people drive like idiots is entertainment enough.
If that doesn't do it for you, Need for Speed High Stakes is your other
option. It's a lot prettier than MM, but not as much fun.
