I can't get into Redout
and BallisticNG is an abandoned crash fest

I'm just wondering if anyone's ever successfully made one for PC
or if I just need to stick to emulator reliving the good old days.

Off the top of my head - Quantum Rush, Future Pilot, Racing Glider and Trailblazers come to mind. Look them up on Steam. Of these I only played Quantum Rush before in beta and it was alright. Not particularly a fan of racing.

POD

Pacer, CoreBreach.io, HexGL, The Rush, and SlipstreamGX.

If you generally like speed then you should try Ballistics, an older windows game.

Ha...I barely remember that...wasn't that 3DO? ...and not to be confused with 'PO'ed'... .

Thanks, I've never heard of any of those so good start .

Got BallisticNG to work last night - it's got a lot of community support for tracks and ships and it's own modeling tool if you want to try to make your own ship - I'll be grabbing it soon considering that it isn't terribly expensive.

Buy a cheap copy of the Gamecube F-Zero on ebay or whatever and play it on your PC with Dolphin. Great game, still looks great in HD.

So, I'm curious, why not?

I kept it into my wishlist for a long time. Eventually, I gave up on buying it after watching a couple of gameplay videos, but I know that isn't really a proof that I wouldn't enjoy it.

I'd love ti hear your opinion on the game.
