Trackmania ESWC

Just downloading it now, will give it a whirl and let y'all know what its like. As a completely free game though it could be fun. Looks quite arcadey which probably wont be quite some much the cup of tea of some of you petrol heads!

It has been a while since I last tried it, but imho it was not that good. The controls were very arcade-like and the tracks ditto. But seems like stuff has happened since then... Keep us posted!

played the old trackmania demo - rather good fun as I recall but didn't sway me to purchase the full product...

downloading...

Definitely arcadey and not for the racing simmers among you, but still great great fun. Especially as its free, worth the download just for the occasional blast!

Bring back stuntcar racer on the Amiga, damn I loved that game especially using a null-modem cable

heh, had a go, much like the old trackmania with new, um, track features?

One weird thing - at home I got a message/warning popup that "frontline pro" had been installed and I needed to reboot before playing this new trackmania !? It's a demo, there is no CD ... did it install more annoyanceware on my PC like GTL?

A Twig · June 06, 2006, 04:37:13 PM

I didnt get that?

I read on the teletext almost 2 years back now that Geoff Crammond was working on a next gen version of it, next gen as in PS2, Xbox etc. I've heard sod all about it since then though, shame.
There's a couple versions of Stunt car racer you can download, the only vers I could get to work though was the C64 one which was awful. I'm sure someone must have the amiga vers up n' running.

i have gp1,2,3 and 4 and they r the daddy, a lot of ppl slated gp4 cause of the graphics... ok graphics wise 4 wasnt the best, game/ physics wise it was the daddy
