Quite possibly the best combat remote-controlled car racing game yet made. Seriously, Re-Volt was fantastic in 1999, and its gameplay formula remains timeless decades later. Think R.C. Pro Am meets Mario Kart. Pure win!

My older brother somehow showed her the game and while we all fell a sleep she went on the pc and literarly played this game untill the morning. Never before or after did she play videogames.

You should try Trackmania2! Although theres no items used to destroy your opponents, there's a track editor and a replay editor. The game is community run and theres a bunch of events for the game, all either official or community ran. Best part is, no microtransactions and you dont have to be online all the time. The only thing that sucks is you have to separately buy the environments, but they are at a very affordable price, and they are a steal whenever a sale happens.

Why can't games now be like Revolt? There are many reasons, some of them are: 1., There's no such market like back then, I mean most games are being sold by Steam, and guess what their business model looks like... 2., There are no such kids like back then, players now want everything immediately or yesterday. 3., It's not worth making a game like Revolt nowadays, because the costs of making a game should be low, but the quality needs are high, and that makes the costs ridiculously expensive. There are licences and such things, and that makes developers (without the Rothschilds on their back) to struggle. 4., People who want to play and have a low budget, nowadays choose indie games instead, preferring cheap and stupid games. 5., Publishers make developers lose their interest to make good stuff, as it's written by others upwards.

13:00 I worked for Tsunami the company that made the sit down version. I started out in the shipping dept when they first built the cabinets and started testing the software to work with the steering wheel, accel pedal and braking. I moved my way up into assembly of the sit down and eventually made friends with the software engineers. At the time I was making techno and house music at home in my studio. I asked if there was a way they could replace the music with mine. So they did. So if those sit-down versions are still out there they have my version of the soundtrack on them. I worked my way up into sound design and upgraded/replaced the sound effects for the other titles they bought for their motion based systems. This brought back a lot of fun memories in my life from 2003-2006.

I’d honestly LOVE to know what synths and production equipment they used to make the soundtrack. I know they at least had some TB-303’s or replicas and an Emu Morpheus for those weird vocal sounds. I’d love to know more as I have an entire vintage studio and have always wondered what they used for 20+ years😂

I finished the game about a month ago on my pixel 7 so I know for a fact it works. Only difficulty is playing using soft keys on the screen instead of keyboard arrow keys.

It was the year 1999. American Pie was rampaging through cinemas. The world was in fear of Y2K, and I was a mere 15 year old lad working weekends in a local computer shop. In lieu of a wage, I worked for PC parts and over the summer I built myself my dream machine, leaving our old 486 DX 100 in the dust. I'll always remember the demo disk I had that featured Re-Volt, and I vowed that once the new machine was built and I had benchmarked it with Re-Volt, I'd treat myself to the full copy of the game. The moment I first had it running on full graphics will always stick with me. I sat in awe at both what I had worked towards and what the game looked like. It was such a blast to play and I love hearing it come up these days as it will always bring those memories flooding back.

+Pudding Some games have aged badly, which were very often the ones that impressed with amazing graphics for the time. Unreal for example is mediocre in terms of gameplay and with today's standards, the graphics are anything but impressive. I for one find that out of all the 90s shooters Duke 3D has aged the best, much better than Unreal, Doom or Quake in my opinion (Queue the opinion-haters 😉). Good writing for example doesn't get old, nor does good gameplay, which allows old adventure games and games that came from polished genres like jump'n'runs, shmups, racing games etc. to still feel great today. Real time strategy games and other genres that require a good AI and pathfinding for example won't have aged as well. People may like Starcraft 1 a lot, but the pathfinding in that game is utter shit (queue some more haters 😉). Shooters are a mixed bag imo. Especially on consoles, the early ones like Goldeneye don't really hold up due to their very clunky controls. I for one am still looking for a great modern shmup that does what Tyrian2000 did, but better. The market is sadly flooded with the asian-style bullet-hells, which I consider to be quite unfun. I also miss the space-shooters, be it X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter, Wing Commander or Freelancer, that give you some not too overcomplicated space action. Had some fun playing Rebel Galaxy, but while it's a good game in its own right, it's not really in the same category. Sigh, look at the mess you made me write. 😂

Yes I'm going to play the role of hater in terms of your thoughts of Doom 1 & 2 and Starcraft. Doom 1 & 2 still have amazing WADs being made for them even to this day. I admit I'm not the biggest Doom player, so I don't have a lot of points to defend it, but every time I come back to it I still get that same joy I did back in the 90s, and the game overall still holds up really well imho (game mechanics, art style, etc). I still do have a giant 300+ page Doom WADing book sitting on an old bookshelf for when I did try my hands at it (was never any good at level design), but I still do enjoy every once and while flicking through it just to go on a little nostalgia trip. Starcraft I is a different story for me. I still hold it in high regards as the greatest Real-Time Strategy Game of all time (I'm not counting turn-based strategy games here, since this would be like comparing Apples to Oranges): - The single-player campaign's story and missions are still very decent (it makes me cry to think about the atrocity of Starcraft 2's single-player campaign story) - StarEdit program can still be used to make amazing maps, and there are 3rd party versions that are even better - Battle.Net 1.0 I'd still argue is better then Blizzard's current Battle.Net 2.0 for Starcraft 2: Maps would be listed by most recently hosted, meaning you could get into games faster, and could host your own maps, no matter how crappy they might be, and people would actually join! Also Now Battle.Net 2.0 is all about popularity listing ... meaning if you don't like the most popular ones, then the ones you do like that are hosted will take a long time for a game to queue up (don't even get me started on hosting your own). As for your Starcraft 1 complaints: Ok I'll give you the single-player AI (especially noticeable in Melee games, when the AI doesn't start with an unfair advantage like in single-player campaign games). Some of those pathfinding issues I'd argue have been developed by pro-gamers into strategies of their own (muta-ball anyone?). Also you can't argue that the game is buggy whatsoever: the game's last patch was in 2009, 11 years since it was initially released! I don't think I could name any other games with updates that went that long (outside maybe WoW, but that's an MMO, so a very different situation).

+Matt N I wasn't really arguing that those games are bad or unfun to play, I'm just saying that there are some things in them that don't hold up to today's standards, since the industry has refined them over time. Only Quake and Unreal I really don't like much. The weapons in both games just feel so weak. In Quake for example, the shotgun is the equivalent of the pistol in Doom and every other weapon is scaled accordingly, making even the rocket launcher feel like a pea shooter.

I remember when this game came out. My dad had subscriptions to PC Gamer and other magazines back in the day. We would receive demos fairly often. Kids don't realize what it was like back in the day... Sometimes, the demos wouldn't even work or had hilarious bugs/issues that weren't in the released game. I remember playing the demo for Re-Volt until my Dad found a full game copy. Good times... Best times... Back when most games were made with love.

dude with the car editor, you could literally make your own car. you could download a body shape, (or make your own if you're good with 3D modeling), import that, use a template for the paint-job (livery / skin), and in the editor you could change all kinds of things from traction to weight to how it accelerates, etc, the car would then be selectable in the single player. i would spend hours and hours on this. you could make cars that would go so fast they would fly, but crash immediately. it was fantastic. i loved this game.

It's kind of ridiculous to buy the Re-Volt from GoG since WeGo / H2 Interactive (current owner of rights to the game) didn't do anything to bring it back to life. They just took the 1.2 patch, which is actually free and is still developing by other people (and is actually Alpha), and started selling it with an old Re-Volt through the GoG... Re-Volt itself is abandoned and can be got for free. There is also no info that WeGo / H2 Interactive is paying developers for this patch.

And now WeGo has pulled the game from the storefronts and the only way to go now is through RVGL. The game is still fairly regularly updated by the community. I hope they would not suddenly show up and send C&D to this community project. Just leave this game to dedicated community is the right thing to do.

@@EvgenKo423 Still, the IP owner of the game can still show up and do C&D or DMCA take down. Look at other games, I've seen some community ports and mods have been taken down by the owner of the game. Like the recent controversial Take-Two Interactive taking down GTA community mods and rewrite open source ports. But the good thing is the IP owner of Re-Volt not as big as a AAA company.
