Description
Customize your own turbo-charged machine and prepare to rip through futuristic environments, subterranean tunnels, abandoned canyons, and surreal post-nuclear landscapes. Link up to eight simultaneous players, just to make things more intense. But be warned: miss a hairpin turn, spin out at 180 miles an hour – make one small mistake – and you’re vapor. And there’s no going back. You’ve got to win the race or die.

  • Sci-Fi arcade racing game with a surprisingly complex and detailed backstory.
  • 16 customizable cars with a well-implemented vehicle damage system.
  • 32 tracks, each with a unique theme and setting, coupled with fantastic art design.

Works fine under Linux

Works fine under Linux. Tested with Xubuntu 12.10 and Wine 1.5.21. Everything works, except that the game crashes on exit.

Issues by default

POD Gold is an old game. That's why I looked it up on PCGamingWiki to get it working properly. I was hoping that Podhacks could fix most of the issues. Sadly it didn't work and the game stays rather unplayable in this released state.

Neat Racer

I remember playing this at school in the IT lab. This game did have a story. It was about You racing to win the last of the escape shuttles to get off the diseased virus pplanet, Of course the disease/virus being called POD. Essentially something happend, And you're the last few trying to get off the planet, but only one ship remains. Was fun and had a satisfying end.
