World Rally Fever: Born on the Road

Man, this game is frustrating as hell. No acceleration, so you always start last. Steereing is awful. Jumping would be OK, but it is broken (try wall in France to get what I'm talking about). Arcade racers should be fun. This game isn't. You cannot select a track, so the only way to play is championship. Some tracks are easy (I've won in Rio on my first go), some are very hard. Music is meh. Skip WRF and try some other racer. Don't pick Screamer though as it crashes. Speaking of arcade, when will GOG add Destruction Derby?

Nice arcade style game. The graphics are very simple 3D, but they still look good because the art style is great. The gameplay is kind of strange, but you can get used to it. Fun game. If you like mid-90s arcade racing games you should pick this one.

Great game remember playing on a 386/486. Perfect for MAME cab now

I love this game! I remember how difficult it was to get the original to work on my computer, but when it worked, it was glorious! The art style was awesome, and the music was so sweet. you could put the original disc in a cd player, and it would play, i used to love that. It did not take itself seriously, and most of all, it was FUN! Something you don't get a lot of anymore.

NOT RECOMMENDED. My game experience strongly disagrees with the "fun arcade racing" part. Every game element seems to be laid out F you in the A. It's more of a one-time puzzle game than a racing one in that once you have solved all the quirks put there solely to screw you over, the annoyance probably tones down to a boring slog to the finish line. You don't understand this if you don't play it yourself and try the strange controls and experience the being awkwardly jerked across the screen when steer. A list a puzzle elements: -stage-specific road hazards that require very accurate timings and prior knowledge of them -every other competitor gets a flying start while you start with bicycle speed just to give the enemies an edge and make it all an arduous climbing up every single stage -passing enemies is quite challenging - they are big and often zigzag around to make it much more difficult, especially the top 4 dudes, to the point if there is 2 competitors together, they are so big you cannot pass them and every time you bump into them, you lose a lot of speed -you lose a ton of speed if hit a road hazard or a roadside object and get absolutely brutalized by a five second respawn if you hit a stopping object such as a bridge, greatly increasing your chances of losing the race -etc. All in all, this "memorize everything just to have a chance at beating this humor-dry game" is borderline torturous. The game isn't even that long, so quirky difficulty padding is pretty much the opposite of fun. Making tons of mental notes for every short track is more like unpaid work than fun to me. Even if you can play it, you won't because a cup is only 15 min long. Watch a longplay video instead of playing it. That's a much better experience w/ minimal annoyances.
