This might be little known and obscure, but damn did I enjoy it when I was young. Very simple, straight forward racing fun with a beautiful presentation. Cool boat designs and the environments were creative and had a wonderful atmosphere that I never forgot. The warm, tropical vibes of Caribbean Challenge, the icy beauty of Scandinavian Ring, and they even had a purple alien planet to race on! Lovely 90s jank that didn't take itself too serious. The music, the sounds, the announcer created a nice, weird sports atmosphere. Even if it wasn't a huge commercial success, it should be preserved. It's a fun racing game with lots of charme.

This game was sold with a Newspaper in Brasil called Folha de São Paulo. These games made the childhood of a lot of children here. They should be brought back .
hard to emulate on win95 vm, for anyone wanting something similar try hydro thunder n64.........................................................................
I live in Germany and even I grew up with this game. In fact, I recently found the CD in my drawer again which is my I'm finally here now. Better late than never, right? It really is a special game, compared with other racers from the time even quite innovative I'd say. The dynamics of a boat on water were executed just well enough to make it even more fun to play and also set it apart from other racers. The weapons were also a nice bonus to make the gamepla more complex. In terms of map design, they also did a great job creating surprisingly diverse maps with interesting shortcurts to explore. Sometimes I even played the game after watching "Thunder in Paradise" on TV back then, it was a really great time to grow up in, lol. But not only for nostalgia, but simply because it actually was - and still is - a great game, I'd like to see this on GOG to share the experience with everyone, especially those who missed the game back in the day. And owning a digital copy that's easier to install and play would obviously be great too.
