Customization lessens the value of mods by the developer. It's not that big companies couldn't program that but it is lost revenue for them. Which is also why they disable split screen. Why allow four ppl to play in the living room when they can separate them in ty heir own household to buy 4 licenses to that game. This is where capitalism has failed the consumers.

I spent so much time on it, my parents teased me by saying they would need to install a keyboard on a car when it was time to teach me to drive. My dad also spent an inordinate amount of time designing some very trollish tracks. The funny thing is that everything had the same suspension. I could take the Indy car, get it up to max speed, and then launch it off a ramp that allowed me to go over like 2 whole sections of track and land without a problem. It became a joke against the AI to set up a ramp that went to a circular ramp to go down, the AI would force itself to got slowly down that circular ramp, while blast over the whole thing.

@FalkFlak

Yeah, the physics are great in the game. We built the tracks in a way that you would hit the top edge of a skyscraper in max speed which would send you flying to the moon. The car got up about a mile high while slowly drifting out of the map (we thought it was because of the wind, lol). IIRC such a flight took about 2min. in midair. Great fun.

@@FalkFlak, I did something similar by setting up an overpass to last about 4/5 of the length of the map, then a downramp in to a sharp turn right before a hill at the edge of the map. It is so easy to miss the turn and fly full speed in to the invisible fence. Flew so high I lost the hills of the map. I can't remember the flight time, it was at least 90 seconds of vertical travel.

I was so happy when we ended up buying this 486 PC for $600 when our friends upgraded to a Pentium and I could play this game whenever I wanted. So many memories playing stunts.

Played this game from the day it was released probably for about 10 years afterwards. Loved it. Creating custom tracks was the best part of it haha. Also, sounds evil but I always died laughing when I heard the opponent crash in the background.

Never doubt the randomness of the recommendation page

Ohhh that brings back memories! I used to play this when I was in primary school. Makes me realise what a technological development I've already lived through!

I was 9 years old in 1994. And my dad had just bought an expensive, used harddrive from a friend. Initially intended for our family business computer. Well, turned out that hard drive came filled to the brim with, ehrm, less-than-legal copies of games. Anywho, that drive was initially destined to get wiped in order to contain a load of business bookkeping. However, that never happened. As my father and i got so enamored with some of the games on the drive that he actually bought another one, brand new, for the original purpose. This was one of the games on that drive, and ever since then i've been a proponent of cyan colored cars. Another game on that drive was Creature Shock. That game caused a young me to not be able to sleep by myself for 2 days. Scary stuff back then.

Oh my... so many memories. That menu music is permanently burned somewhere in my brain like a cattle firebrand. I remember spending sooo much time building tracks using every single map tile available, using bridges to almost double the length of the tracks, and sometimes trying to trick the future myself inserting stuff like a building right after a fast uphill and so on. How cool was being on a bridge and seeing the track appearing under the road! Oh, how many crashes on those banked curves and on those ramps... And what about replays? Replays! Freaking awesome. Thank you for remembering me this exquisite piece of programming, you just made me realize how much I loved every single moment spent on it.

The game that got me into cars - 30 years later, I still want a yellow Lancia Delta HF!

Oh wauw i can remeber everything. Poe, thanks for the flashbacks. Good old time

Wow just had a nostalgia shock. I don't usually play racing games but this one was ahead of its time. The fact that it was released in 1990 blows my mind.

And I assumed it was just me playing it ... LOVED IT! Way ahead of its time, the music still gets me. And you did not fool us, as we saw it was the cracked version we all played. So, thirty years since .... unbelievable.

Damn skid vicious, you scared the hell out of me when I was 9 years old. But I succeeded

FYI I recall a bug with the Indy car that after 2-4 jumps at max speed it would stay pinned on any terrain. This led to some interesting "stunts" with custom tracks.

This game was amazing because you could design your own tracks and place whatever jumps or loops wherever you wanted.

Used to make one small circled track, and start building like random stuntjumps over buildings which were not allowed in a closed track, but possible when not in the track itself. I had a whole world of crazy stunts and jumps at the fingertips. Such a good time it was to be alive.
