Wacky Wheels

What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said? It's whacky. It's got wheels. It's now available for purchase, which to me I find ironic in that the game was originally freeware. At any rate, the driving mechanics are excellent. The shooting is an all-time favorite of the kids. The levels are fabulously drawn. It's an all-around fantastic game. Buy it.

I played the demo when I was a kid, had a good time, but in playing it again as an adult made me see how lacking this game is, just a shell of the game it's trying to mimmic.

I originally played the shareware version of this that came on my Duke Nukem 3D CD, back when that came out and I came back to it to try and complete the game. The game is decent. Everything works as it is supposed to. The art style is pleasing and the music, although not abundant, has some real bangers. The only problem is that after playing a few races I noticed that all the tracks play very similarly and it has very little real variety. The AI is of the rubber banding type so no matter how much you hit them with the weapons, they will be back on your tail in no time. It has a nice range of difficulties, including a kid mode. I'm sure young kids would love this game as an entry into gaming as it is very forgiving and the bright animal characters are great. On the other end of the spectrum you have Champion difficulty which they made unfair to the player. I loved the Champion difficulty as I had to try some interesting stuff to win each set of races but still, I finished everything in less than 3 hours. The only thing that caused me a very minor issue is that playing on the keyboard has a set up of arrows for turning, ctrl for firing, and alt for accelerating. Windows 10 has a shortcut of ctrl/alt/arrow for flipping the screen, which confused the heck out of me at first. After realising what was causing the screen flip, I used the numpad arrows instead which doesn't cause the problem. All in all, it's fun for a short while but don't expect too much out of Wacky Wheels.

My dad had got this on floppy when I was about two it was the first game he introduced me to along side with Duke Nukem 3D and DOOM. Being able to play it again brings back so many memories at the time I was only into computer games i had never heard of Mario at the time so I did not know it was based off Mario kart but it was fun non the less even now 18 years later and I still say its worth playing even if its an old dos game and aimed more at kids.

I only had the shareware version of this game , but I played The wheels off of it. Pun Intended. This version I have tested from my windows install copied to debian linux. It works flawlessly in a debian dosbox install. I can only say it is awesome it works in both worlds. Winxp and linux. The frame rated is smooth. set up is perfect sound and controls are all perfect. both windows and copied to linux install both perfom about the same. I have not tried the ubuntu installed version yet
