Description
Two Engines. One Champion. No Limits.

Climb on, strap in, and experience the pure adrenaline-pumping excitement of the Podracing sequence from STAR WARS™: Episode I The Phantom Menace.

Take the controls as Anakin Skywalker, or any one of over 21 Podracers, and feel the full-force blast of two massive jet engines at simulated speeds of up to 600 mph. Rein in a turbine-driven chariot through 8 spectacular worlds. Negotiate through flaming methane lakes, Tusken Raider assaults, ant-gravity tunnels and much more in a pulse-punding, do-or-die fight to the finish where anyone will do anything to cross the finish line. How far will you go?

Excellent, but flawed

A slightly flawed and thoroughly enjoyable trip down memory lane, Racer is great at what it does best: high-speed racing through the Star Wars galaxy. Where it falters is in the small bugs and occasional crashes, along with a slightly outdated control scheme. Definitely worth playing, even more than 25 years on.

Blast from the past

Played the hell out of this when I was younger. 1-3 get raked over the coals a lot (some criticism is on point, some isn't imo) but it did give us more of the Star Wars world and that'll be always something I'll enjoy. This is actually a very well designed racing game; solid progression elements, almost has an RPG feel to it with the rather comprehensive customization, and each of the pods handle very differently.

buy to support

support the devopers... Your origional ftp/mirv download from 1999 with a now-a-days 3dfx overlay will play 90% better. Good Stuff!

Unplayable. Crash on launch.

Pretty much what the review title says. Never reached the start menu even once. the error message i get is an utterly bizarre: ''rdroid_gnome release build has stopped working.'' which i have never seen anything like this before and is not helpful at all to troubleshoot. other users recommend to set the resolution via the separate options program before starting, and i'm like... what separate options program? i open the game floder, there is nothing in it that ressemble an out-of-game options setup, nor any .txt file that could allow me to manually enter the resolution so where is it? is it the SWEP1RCR.EXE or the SysCheck.exe ? because both of those crash on launch everytime just like the game for me... i'm not too mad because i bought this on deep sale for less than 4$ but still, seriously GOG should not sell this and pull this from store. i'm not even asking for a refund it's just for the sake of principle and so other people don't get disappointed like me in the future. because by the looks of other reviews i'm not the only one that cannot run it at all.
