Question
I was at a bar this weekend where a guy claimed to have played a 3D or pseudo-3D racing game in the vein of F-Zero on the PC in the early to middle 90s, in which after every level or so, video footage of Don Knotts would appear on the screen and provide the player with a pithy quip.
While I remember video footage inside games getting pretty popular around the time thanks to stuff like Mortal Kombat and Command & Conquer, this particular game seems a little far-fetched—and IMDB predictably has nothing.
Has anybody played a game that matches this description, or was my bar companion just making things up?
Answer
According to this review of the game MegaRace (1994), the host is a "blue suit looking crackpot who looks frighteningly like Don Knotts." It was apparently released on the PC as well.
Here's a (multi-part) video of someone playing through the game. Seems to fit your description quite nicely.
