Description
The year is 2020. After an environmental holocaust of devastating proportions, the population hovers slightly above the zero mark. The rich have fled underground, where they have formed corporate enclaves. Above ground, the desolate cities and desert wastelands are inhabited by a feral population of freaks and survivors. With 98% of the population dead there's a lot of cars around just waiting to get driven into the ground. The ferals started the Powersliding competition, the corporates banned it. It's dangerous, it's illegal, it kicks butt.

Powerslide is the off-road racing game that makes its own damn track. Through the punishing post-apocalyptic terrain and abandoned, ghostly cityscapes, brutal alpine tracks and icy roadways. You’ll be torching the tundra. Scorching the Savannah. Leaping over canyons. Surfing mud-slides and braving perilous urban and outdoor environments. You’ll be feeding the off-road speed demon within.
  • 8 treacherous off and on-road tracks plus 4 bonus tracks!
  • Superior AI realistically simulates human treachery, speed, and killer cunning!
  • Realistic physics modeling 6 degrees of limitless freedom lets you overcome any obstacle!

One for the powerslide lovers!!

First up, this game is called called 'Powerslide' for a reason. If you're not into power-sliding around a race-track, and want realism over fun. Then you should probably look else-where. For the rest of us, this game is an absolute hoot. Based in a futuristic wasteland, you get to race on some great tracks in some awesome beasty vehicles. Being an old-fashioned game too, you also have charcters that you select as your driver. Some of which have hilarious names (like Dodgy Dave and Hempgirl, to name a couple). In terms of visuals, this game has held up pretty well over the years, and actually filled my widescreen display and runs at a silky smooth frame-rate. I am yet to test the game with a gamepad, but I find it easy enough to play it with the directional-arrow keys, as that's how I played it back in the day. I feel that this game was so underrated in it's time, and couldn't have been happier to see it appear on gog this week. I will be spending many more hours enjoying this game.

Just plain fun

I remember getting this game as a demo on a PC magazine. I waited until I had one of these new fangled 3D accelerators that were becoming all the rage and then lost myself for hours playing this beautiful 3d racing game. It wasn't overly deep but boy was it FUN! Now with GoG I am able to relive those heady days of beginning 3D glory. A great game to just fire up when you want to enjoy yourself without to many complications.

Bizarre Post Apocalyptic Racing Game

Played this game a bunch when I was a child, could never beat it. Found this many years later on GoG after a vague memory of it farted out of my brain. I still can't beat it. I like the weird car and character designs. They're pretty weird. It's a cool racing game... once you figure out the controls and probably apply 10 billion patches. Also the game takes place in the year 2020. Lol.

Moist fun

As someone without any nostalgia for this game, it feels like a tech-demo for a physics engine. Graphically there's nothing to complain about, still holds up. It's the driving itself that's an issue. I get what the developers were going for with the sliding all over the place, but this is just one of the worst controlling things i have ever played. The difficulty of the game itself would not be an issue if the cars had just A LITTLE more grip. Still remains a fun experience tho, just prepare for frustration when your vehicle is moving about like a drunk oiled up boat.

Top racing game

Played it when I was 9 years old in 1998, nailed every difficulty and satsified me immensly. Very hard and challenging game.
