The typical markings of Mid Night Club car owners were at first nothing more then simple bumper stickers, but after they figured out that Bosozoku couldn’t read that from looking behind them on their bikes, they applied them (properly I might add, not reversed like on an Ambulance) to their windshields. This club of high end supercar owners were called the Mid Night Club. Such anger was ensued, that a club was formed that would go out and race both for fun and for rivalry. These Bosozoku however had some trouble with owners of high end sports cars, who would get overtaken by a few violent jokers on motorcycles, and would floor it, only to watch the motorcyclists disappear in the rear view mirror.
The Bosozoku were an ambitious group, one of sporadic violence, and at the time they would deliberately try to scare drivers who were only on their nightly commute to work, by speeding down the highway at violent speeds on motorcycles. We have seen this group before, with their wild cars, and they were called the Bosozoku. In the late 80s, amid the re-spawn of tye dye shirts, and big shoulder pads, there was a group which was starting to come up through the woodwork in Japan. That game originated from the real Mid Night (note the space in between the words) Club, in which members of Japan’s finest tuners would drive at full throttle down the Bayshore Route (Wangan) highway deep into the wee hours of the morning.Īs much fun as Midnight Club the game is, it is not even remotely similar to the real events which happened between early 1988 and mid 1999…
Most people who play video games have played “Midnight Club,” where you race around the city at night, collecting cars, cash, and parts to make your collection different from everybody else’s.
