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.
