Description
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.

IGNITION - it takes skill to drive like a nutter!
  • Seven unique race tracks from the Lost Ruins to Cape Thor
  • 11 unusual vehicles from monster trucks to jungle jeeps
  • Funky smooth-scrolling overhead race view
  • Two player split-screen mode

Fun Game, runs so so

The game is a super fun arcade racer that i sunk quite a bit of time into back in the day. The 3d graphics are very good for a 20 year old game and the sound while nothing special is quite alright, too. The biggest selling point for me was always the splitscreen mode so you could have fun with your mates without any additional setup or equipment. My only problem with this version though are the frequent hickups (2 to 5 times per race on my system), probably caused by DOSBox. While nothing gamebreaking they are quite annoying. Still, if you want to play a racing game that has fun factor written all over it this game won't disappoint.

Best top-down racing game ever made

This is not nostalgia review. I found this gem in 2018 looking for Micro Machines-like games. Amazing and unforgettable level and cars design, diverse obstacles, turbo boost. I'm in love.

Great mini car racing game

It may be quite short, it may not have many tracks of too wide choice of cars, but the character of the game, top down perspective, fun sounds, quirky traps, shortcuts....this is my childhood in a nutshell. Thanks GoG a lot, I was wandering when this gem will show up here <3 I am giving this 5 stars, because there is nothing like it (Micromashines, Mashed are car combat) and for nostalgia.

Sweet Childhood of Mine

This game is amazing from the graphics to the soundtrack. Definitely worth a play, I love it. It's still a bit buggy (somehow the cars start exploding out of nowhere) but hey. An awesome dose of nostalgia. Thanks GOG !!!!!!

Very entertaining

I played a lot with this game in my childhood, and I found it really fun and entertaining. This week I bought it on GOG and downloaded it to play on my Linux Mint operating system. However, it hasn't run properly on Linux, so I had to download the Windows version and use the Wine emulator. Then it worked!!! :) . On the same day I finished the whole game (even the mirror championship) and I enjoyed it a lot. I'm very happy to have played it again, and it definitely brought my memories back. 100% recommended.
