POD!

Thanks GOG! I used to play this in primary school when our I.T suite (The Bridge as it was known!) And I used to love playing this endlessly at breaktimes and lunch! Guys don't listen to these haters who say negative stuff about this! If you're a REAL 90's boy/girl you'll know EXACTLY what it was like... I'm also sure most of the hate reviews on here are people who've never actually played any games from the 80's/90's... Here's to you GOG! P.S Monster Truck Madness next? xD

An epileptic fit of brown tones

I was excited to see this game here being my first PC game ever, running on a 2Mb ATI 3D Accelerator. Never managed to get it to work on any subsequent PC so was looking forward to experiencing it again. From the best I can gather, it is some sort of sewer reticulation simulation, as you just seem to be steering a sluggish brown shit through a bunch of similarly coloured pipes and avoiding other shits. I spent probably about 15 minutes alternating between epileptic fits and wondering whether I was actually driving in the right direction as cars seemed to be going everywhere and there is no real differentiation in the track. Sadly disappointed, and feel that I could have better used that much of my life. It hasn't aged well.

Best racing game EVER!

I have not downloaded this version, but have the orginal disc with 8 cars + 16 tracks. I am tempted to buy it just for the satisfying thought of watching it run on a modern pc. I have had to use dgvoodoo and what not to get it to run. If you don't have the original, don't buy it off ebay; BUY IT HERE

Pretty enjoyable early racing game.

This game came with the first PC my dad ever bought along with a little known futuristic flight game called Hellbender. A Compaq I believe, and I think it cost over 3000 dollars (WOW how things have changed). I would play the hell out of this game and for its time it was fairly unique and fun. It conveyed a pretty good sense of atmosphere and I always really liked the vehicle models and music. Would be fun to play again just for the nostalgia of it, but I'm not sure I'd ever come back to it after reminiscing for a couple hours. There's simply not a whole lot to it.
