30 Years ago a small Scottish games developer created a racing game using unicycles, soon after they were sued by Pixar, the game was removed from the market, and the company would get bought by another. The next game the developers created would be titled 'Grand Theft Auto' DMA...

It's easy to see that the unicycles in the game look a lot like the unicycle from Red's Dream. But then again, there's not exactly a huge number of ways to do anthropomorphic unicycles. Anyway, I'm sure this lawsuit is the reason why Grand Theft Auto doesn't have unicycles.

🤠 We're a small indie team making a Space Western game that mix together cRPGs like the original Fallout and top-down shooters like Ruiner. Featuring real-time combat, organic roleplay, and a deep narrative with different endings 🚀 👉 Wishlist on Steam

One of the founders was the same person who wrote Lemmings.

-- I hope Disney approaches them to make a GTA movie so they can laugh and flip them the bird.

No way. This game was GREAT! Soundtrack too from what I remember. I still have my original SNES cartridge but it doesn’t work 😔

It had Multiplayer!, love the DOS days... eff yeah! GTA95 also played well. Nowadays, those same games on the Big Screen is still rad. Emulation allows them to run still.

Uniracers is a technical marvel, maintaining its speed when most other SNES games would start chugging. It's also a fascinating story. In 1994 shortly after the game launched, Pixar of all companies sued DMA Design, claiming the Unicycles ripped off their 1987 short Red's Dream. Pixar ultimately won (or the publisher, Nintendo settled) and the game was ordered to cease production after only 300,000 copies were made. Pixar had a point, the Unicycles looked similar. They're also unicycles. Once you animate those, there's not many differences that will happen. Interestingly enough, this whole legal debacle was a shift in direction for the Lemmings developer. Uniracers was their pitch and Nintendo loved it. If Pixar hadn't pulled the rug out from under them, they would have their own pillar under Nintendo's flag. Without Uniracers, DMA had to start over without their family-friendly franchise. Nintendo wanted them on the Ultra 64, but it soon became clear to both companies that only one of them was interested in making a cute N64 mascot. Body Harvest is a little tale on its own, but the funniest part of the story is how DMA Design started working on this small PC game called Race n' Chase at the same time. DMA Design released Grand Theft Auto in 1997, rebranding into Rockstar North after releasing GTA 3. If Pixar hadn't done a Disney, we might be Uniracing in Mario Kart World right now. Meanwhile #GrandTheftAuto might be nothing more than a spark in David Jones' eye. Probably not, but it's fascinating speculation. Also this game is dope.
