SPGG Drive

SPGG Drive San Pedro Garza García, N.L., rebuilt as a 90s PlayStation/Nintendo-style driving game. Every real street, hill and tunnel of San Pedro is in the game, from Valle Oriente’s towers up to the miradores on the mountain. You drive a white BMW M2/220i through traffic, fill up at Petrex, buy chicles at OKSO and 6-Doce, race a guy in a blue BMW, lose the cops, and watch the sun go down behind the Sierra. Then get out and walk around. The map comes from real data: the streets from OpenStreetMap, the buildings from Overture Maps and the hills from satellite elevation data. That’s why the climbs feel like the real ones. Every brand has a parody name, so don’t go looking for an OXXO. Heads upThis is a passion project, not a finished game. You’ll find holes in the ground, some odd bumps, and plenty of other imperfections. It’s as far as I could take it without burning endless time (and Claude tokens) on it, so think of it as a love letter to San Pedro, rough edges included. If you fall through the map or get stuck, use God mode: press F (or click the left stick) to fly out, look where you want to go, and press T to drop your car there. Which version to play Download (Mac / PC): the full experience. It looks, sounds and runs much better, and it has online play.Mac: the first time, right-click the app and choose Open (or go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway).Browser: a lighter version to try it out. It’s slower, has no engine sound and no online. Use Chrome with graphics acceleration on.
