In an exotic range of vehicles and around some of the harshest circuits ever devised, you've got to ram, nudge, barge and otherwise cheat your way to victory. If you spot a sneaky shortcut, then use it - if your opponent's hugging the cliff edge then give him a nudge and a salute as you cruise into the lead and he cruises into a deep gorge.
Out on these panoramic race circuits, you'll get to drive the weirdest range of vehicles. Speed merchants can try the Bug for size, style victims can hop in the Redneck and those with a taste for the bizarre can drive the bright yellow school bus through the opposition.
Once you've beaten the computer controlled cars, grab a mate and test the multiplayer mode. You won't need no steeenking modem to play head to head in this game, though, because Ignition features a unique split-screen mode for up close and personal racing.

Seven unique race tracks from the Lost Ruins to Cape Thor

Well I really loved this game when I was a kid. I tried this GOG version but when I want to do the championship I randomly blow up (totally random - without being near anything that could blow me up), and the game glitches into an infinite spawn-blow up so processing is impossible, thus this is a game breaking bug I would like someone to tell me how to fix :(
What a game! I always feel like getting a nostalgia attack when playing it ;-) No, seriously, it's great as ever. they haven't changed much. A slightly higher resolution and modern online multiplayer mode would have been great. What really bothers me though is a bug on the "gold rush" track: cars keep exploding in an endless loop. When that happens you're forced to quit and restart, the whole championship is lost. Please developers, fix that bug! Thank you.
I remember playing "Ignition" quite a few years back and back than this game was pretty adictive. Not so much from the multitude of tracks or vehicles (though it does okay in that department), but from the multiplayer, when me and my friends tended to race against each other before the monitor between some "heavier" multiplayer games like Worms or Heroes.
Lets start with the basics - as game description tells you, the game has 7 tracks: farms, snowy mountains, cliffs at the coast, metropolis (I believe it's specifically designated as Tokyo), South-American ruins, vulcanic "wasteland" and wild west style desert. Additionally, upon completing a single player mode, each of these tracks can be raced in reverse (mirror league; a feature that was popular at the time the game was developed), which helps a bit with its replay value.
Each track has its own little surprises - there are shortcuts that allows you to get ahead (sometimes hiddens, sometimes in the form where you choose which turn you take) and every race has at least two of those. Aside from that there are other traps that await the racers - falling rocks that flatten your cars (and, once you're "compacted", your controls work in reverse for a while), trains that go right through the track or cliffs that you need to jump over using your car's nitro to name just those most common. Generally each track is quite different from another and they look very nice (taking into account the graphics of its time).
Another, string point are the vehicles, not all of them accessible from the start - they're wacky (school bus, a police car, monster truck, medical jeep to name just a few) and truly different, each having statistics different from others. A truck ("Smokey") for example doesn't have speed, but it certainly sticks to the road, the yellow car ("Banana") has good acceleration, while the black sports car ("Vegas") is quick, but certainly can easily fall off its course. Each car also has nitro that is slowly recharging itself. At any time you can punch it to give your vehicle an extra boost (often adviced when jumping over cliffs), but you should use it wisely. A bonus is that ANY of these vehicles is as good as the others in the right hands (this was tested by me and my friends) - even the slow ones can out-race the speedsters, if you handling them right.
The multiplayer is probably the game's greatest strength - it allows for two players to go at it on the same PC via split-screen. I know that in the times of 4-player games this may seem like nothing, but as far as "hot seat" racing games go, "Ignition" does fairly well and it certainly kept me and my friends occupied longer than most other titles from its genre.
Overall, if you like arcade racing with a twist (like Micro Machines or more recent Toybox Turbos), I think you'll enjoy "Ignition". It's NOT the best game of the genre, but it certainly does everything right and should entertain you, if only as a quick break between other games.
Of course, I picked it up due to nostalgia, binge-played it as kid, you know the deal, you did that too. It still is an absolute blast to play this one again, after all these years. That said, there are some issues I have with this one:
- DOSBox only, despite that, it runs good at the max 800X600 resolution as is, even if the menu is at the lowest res and it only adjusts itself during the loading screen between every single race.
- I can't get the 3DFX & NGlide version running past the intro cutscene on Windows 10.
- The infinite explosion glitch, super annoying, especially during tournaments.
Still recommending it, if you can get it to work outside DOSBox.
Ignition is one of those games i played for a long time in my childhood and have a good memory of it. I hoped for this to pop up on gog and was just looking for it the other day. Now here it is and is always fun like the first time.
I can't give 5 stars just because of the software rendered graphic and not 3dfx better version, but the game is good and provides lots of fun. Also, it is very cheap now at release , which is a plus.
