My first computer game - superb fun

Perfect nostalgic fun. Honestly, this was my first ever boxed computer game (it came in one of those wonderful big boxes we used to see) at the age of 10, a massive influence on me growing up. The amazing variety of tracks (still better then any other racing game in my honest opinion), the huge variety of racers (Ebe Endecott for life) and the superb soundtrack from John Williams. Do not miss this, thank you GOG for bringing this back - worked straight away after download, no fiddling in options required and no issues as of yet. Such a blast from the past

As good as you remember, maybe better

Fast arcade racing with those perfect RPG-lite elements of pod upgrades. It runs beautifully, silky smooth - as it should be on any PC from the last 15 years - and best of all, it has really strong controller support. Using an Xbox 360 pad will full analog throttle, brakes, and steering feels even better than I remember it on the N64. If you have any fond memories of this, pick it up, it's so very worth it.

A top notch racer indeed

I have fond memories of all the hours I spent playing this game on my brother's Dreamcast. I still own a CD with the game for computer (which I couldn't afford at the time). This is a great addition to the collection of LucasArts games collecion. It is super responsive, and one of the few racers that makes you feel like you are really going at amazing speeds. Don't get mne wrong, many games have perfected this formula since Pod Racer was released, but the locals, the music and how well this game plays, is a testament to the strong foundations LucasArts built into this game. I wished it was a little harder and a little longher, but this is the exact same game I rememberr from my youth. Of course I am wirshing a modder creates high texturas for this game or that the cinematics were not so small on a Full HD screen, but I can't complain since this is the exact same game I remember playing back in the days.

Oh my GOD THEY DID IT!!

In my opinion, this was a gem of its time only damaged by the fact that it didn't run with any stability on anything beyond Windows 98 on an MMX 233. GOG has saved my gaming bacon more than once, and this is the latest. Controls are tight. Graphics are amazingly good and very fast. Music and sound are epic. The graphics launcher has support for...my resolutions, at least, which is much better than the max 1280x1024 of the original. Instant buy, personally.

Purely Awesome Retro Goodness

I almost squealed like a little girl when I saw this on the main page. No thinking it through, just added it to the cart. I still have the game for the N64, but the N64 doesn't look so good on modern TVs and the controller is terrible compared to modern controllers. This, on the other hand, looks beautiful. I set my resolution to my desktop's default before playing, and away we went. The game looks and sounds beautiful, or at least as beautiful as a game from 1999 can look. The 3D objects are all nice and crisp, and the textures look as good as the possibly can, given the game's age and relatively small download size. Also, I was able to easily set up my wired XBOX 360 controller, and map the buttons for a more modern style, using the analog sticks to control the pod. All said, this is great and I'm glad GOG added this one to the library, and I was able to add it to my library in time for Star Wars day. :D
