It'd be really cool if you played through every TM game, I think a lot of us have never seen most of them

What also was unique is that the map editor had limited amount of stuff you could place, and every medal you got in singleplayer increased the max limit you could place.

Wow, just wow. This is the game I played roughly 17-20 years ago. Some neighbour installed it. I was around 6-7 at time with no knowleadge of english. I never knew what game it was but I always wanted to find it again. For the past 3 years I've been watching Wirtual and Trackmania community suspecting nothing. The moment i saw this video it all came back! Kinda ironic that I've been watching the game i was looking for a long time already. Thank you Wirtual and thank you Trackmania community for everything you do.

I just want to say Wirt, I have never played a Trackmania game in my life, but I absolutely love your content. Perfect way to get home from work and just chill on the couch. Thank you for what you do.

I remember getting this game in 2003 for Christmas. I was a massive fan of Stunts game. I spent days building weird tracks and then sharing them to my friends by burning a collection of maps on a CD. I just... and that soundtrack... that goddamn soundtrack

This was the first and only track mania game I played, and I didn't remember it existing until I saw your videos 3 years ago

Professionally working Nadeo mapper 20 years ago: sweating for hours to set some crazy map records Some random slippery mayonnaise boi in the future hosting his own live show to thousands of viewers while casually breaking every single record as he simultaneously theorizes about the internal ramp theory of the Egyptian pyramids:

i think i speak for a lot of us when i say that i'd love to see you play through the old trackmania campaigns! sure, it would be a long project to undertake, but it's always extremely interesting to see a good player and important content creator revisit the old installments in the series! it would be fun to see your reactions to the old nadeo maps and see how your skills compare against these now decades-old games. i think you should go for it!!

Play through all the trackmania games! I got to see coverage of all the other games and a little studying of tricks that people have learned throug the years in each car and environment throughout the series!

I’d love to see a complete series of you going through and playing through every Trackmania game.

It'd be fantastic to see Wirtual go through the Sunrise maps (or United maps of the sunrise envis)

What a trip down memory lane. I can't believe this game released 20 years ago. I used to play ESL on Snow and Rally back in the day. Even though our team wasn't top tier by any means, it was an insanely fun time.

This brings me back to my TMUF days. I absolutely loved all the different environments and the challenges they all brought. I think playing through TMUF and its star campaign would be a good challenge that we'd enjoy watching!

"That's an instant author medal," says Wirtual, after resetting twice and changing the settings of his analog keyboard once.

This brings back so many fond memories and im all here for it. I'd really like to see you play through alll the trackmania games. That would be a massive but such a cool project.

15:23 The whole ordeal with analog keyboards vs controllers and digital keyboards thing really reminds me of the hitbox vs controllers and fightsticks argument in the fighting game scene. It might be interesting how this sort of problem is tackled in different contexts.

You should totally play through all the old games. People NEED to see Canyon, Valley, and Lagoon!

watching you play every TM game sounds awesome

Full playthrough of every TM would actually be so cool. A lot of older trackmanias that I don't necessarily want to play myself but I've wanted to watch them, but all the videos are so incredibly old and with terrible graphics/sound

This is the real Trackmania. Glad to see it alive ^^ I've never played a lot of Trackmania myself beside this original version. So I'm very happy to see you play it and hope to see a bit more. especially the Snow- and Castle-Environment. (Always felt the canyon-part a bit off with the car being sooo wobbly. ^^)

My god the memories... I've not played most TrackMania games released over the years, but if they are actually putting more of this OG stuff into TM2020 I will definitely go hard on that finally. Stadium just isn't my thing 😅

I mostly want to see you play all the non-stadium environments, especially Island and Bay

Oh yess! i would love to see you play all the trackmania games. my favorite was sunrise extreme, so many memories!

a long-haul project would be really cool wirtual! A long standing series of you playing through all the games would be pretty chill

ohhh so that's where the new car came from in tm2020

Day three of asking wirtual to slide in mayonnaise

I would gladly watch you play through all the TM games honestly. I know there's just so many of them that I'd love to see but I don't really see myself actually playing them all

Aaah its beatiful! Its such a huge trowback into my childhood to see this game again. And im realizing that its truly 20 years ago ive played this game the first time - holymoly! also its fun to see the "newer" audience having fun with the first trackmania. =] Especially that sound crashing into a metal object with the desert car - ahh that was some fine audiodesign =D

Next: Play TMUF as I’m considering buying it on Steam. I currently have TM2020 (or as I like to call it w/ Snow, and soon to be Rally and Desert; TMU2023), and TMNF and want to expand my arsenal of TM games.

2:24 - Ah, yes, "Vaughn Halen", my favorite singer/songwriter. I loved the work he did on the soundtrack for Trackmania for the Wii.

Okay so we’re talking about a TM game from 2003, yeah? I’ve been playing World of Warcraft since it came out in 2004. Never in my entire life would I think that the two would cross over, but here I am with a man in Wirtual’s chat jokingly asking about the difficulty of Tindral Sageswift in the RWF (race for world first) for the current WoW raid that just came out recently. What a crossover.

Wirtual "I'm faster..." Someone in chat: "Hi faster"

one of the memories, Saturday evening, wife, best friend, and Trackmania until Monday morning, and then everyone went to work, haven't played since then

Man this was my first proper 3D game I ever got to play on my own PC. So cool to see it again. The Snow soundtrack was absolute fire, I even had it on my offbrand mp3 player.

When coast and island is added down the line the maps get super nice to look at

This is what got me into TM - and I'm sure I have the discs still somewhere. I tried the latest version because of you, Wirtual. I guess being 50 I'm just too slow now, lol!

I'm a big fan of how in Turbo a guy just yells "YOOOOOOOUUUUU'RRREE THE TRACKMAAAASSSTERRRRR!!!!" when you get author medal.

I’d love to see Wirtusl play through all of the TM games. Would be nice to see the evolution of the game series.

I have come to notice, wirtual is a man who tilts when playing racing games It is subtle but watch his head

This came witha demo back then that I played to DEATH! And then I got the full version for my birthday and played a hell of a lot more. Good times!

A series where you play them all would be amazing. Doesn't have to be a marathon, just so everyone can understand the aspects of past TM games.

Going over previous trackmania games would be super interesting, as well as showcasing what makeds them different and how top play looks like.

I enjoy the fact they kept the same font for the timer checkpoint across all games.

Man, I remember seeing this game being presented at the Games Convention in Leipzig pre-launch. They had problems setting up the demo on their exhibition PCs, so a few installation CDs for the demo (which featured limited multiplayer before the game's official release) were just lying around there. My friend and I took one of them, not realizing they weren't meant to be public until about a week later. The fun we had in the demo, and then the full game, was unreal. We made one of the first popular "Press forward" maps (called "Calculated" back then). I feel old now.

Wow this was the most intense dose of nostalgia. THE game of my childhood. The desert soundtrack is burned into my brain. Pretty sure it was running on loop in my head 24/7 back then.

Wirtual turning evil halfway through the video to support analog keyboards must be the funniest thing ever

this is THE racing game for me, my father has a hard copy if it and got it installed on an old thinkpad in his workshop since forever and i always felt super smug about having all gold medals, never knew game had authors tho.

for everyone interested in the old games: Granady did a playthrough of all of them and is currently uploading the vods to the GranaTV channel

the memory lane hits hard. i remember when i made my own track and there were pieces with hole in the road. there were one map that i made with those part that i really loved to drive on over and over again. i remember the multiplayer part where i could open the map to the public. i miss that time.

This was the first every "racing" game i ever played on the family pc. So glad to see you play it.

I don't think you should play thru all of them in one go. But over time it could become an awesome series on the channel for a while!

Thank you for those nostalgic moments! I used to play it as a child and I loved building tracks. Never used it to beat author times, just to have a good time and this soundtrack gives me goosebumps 😍

2 Wirtual vids, 1 day???? YES PLEASE

Wild to see this and instantly recognize the tracks I played a few years later in Trackmania United Forever. I played that game for 2 hours a night for about 6 months somewhere in the 2008-2010 timeframe. I was such a need I would talk over ham radio with friends while playing it, and I was thebonky one that could get a few author times on tracks. Once I got my first I grinded for hours and had probably 15 of the stadium author medals. I lost all those in an OS reload though, and being in my 40s now the author medals are a lot harder and only picked up around 5 of them a couple years back.

7:35 - Ah yes that wonderful American landmark of nature: "The Great Canyons"

i prob made over 400 tracks for this game as a kid lol

I would really enjoy seeing a full playtrough of all tm games, especially turbo with the supertrackmaster medals

21:24 I don't know why, but I found this so funny. Imagine if this was possible IRL and the guy overtaking you is staring at you and you're staring back at him, while he's slowly overtaking you.

Playing the games, especially in release order would be really cool!

I remember playing a demo of this before its release from a monthly game magazine in Spain called Micromania, which it always came with a DVD featuring a full free game and hundreds of demos... But Trackmania was the only one I kept playing constantly, almost like a maniac hahah it was the best to play with my brother, we were very competitive with our ghosts!! Ever since then I play Trackmania. The thing I miss the most are underground map blocks as in Trackmania Sunrise!!

That one guy in chat... He was -4 when Trackmania first launched. Oh boy... I'm in my 30s and feel really conscious about it right about now.

Oh god the original menu music, i'm 8 years old again And for info, Trackmania PowerUp and SpeedUp were simply free updates to TM, which added things like tunnels, new modes, etc I'd love to see you play Sunrise too, it was awesome !

it’s fun to see wirtual play different racing games. i vote Hill Climb Racing or maybe a little Garfield Kart next.

The Tindral Sageswift reference means this video was recorded within the last week, setting a new Wirtual record

This was honestly so comfy to fall asleep to

Dude you unlocked a core child memory of mine. Even tho I was born in early 1999, I played this game like hundreds of hours. My dad used to build PCs back in the days as a sidehustle, thats why I had my first PC already as a little kid. I still have the CD-ROM of this game standing in the shelf next to my todays setup. I really loved the scenery back then, I used to drive of the track and explore the mountains and I spent so much time to build my own maps. I wish I had still had them :'c

Takes me back to my days of beta testing TM: Power Up *sighs in nostalgia*.

I think you should definitely play through all the old Trackmania games, at least the bigger ones. You don't need to 100% everything in them, just get gold or author on every campaign map

6:39 granady did this about a year ago and theres like 100s of hours of footage that hes uploading to youtube as we speak(TMO is already uploaded to his second channel and more to come)

OH! MY! GOD! This is it! The wood surface and the snow truck update unlocked decade old memories to when I was playing this racing game at my grandmother's old computer until she got a new one when I was like 8 or 9 and the game was gone. But I didn't know this was actually a Trackmania and especially the first one. Good memories although I was terrible at the game, crashing left and right.

This game didn't have any airbraking at the time, i think when they updated the game to the united engine they added airbraking to all the vehicles, might also have been the TMO upgrade.

I've been using a Razer Tartarus Pro with optical analog switches for many years now. Analog controls in every game just make it 10000000X as immersive to me. Walking without needing to press a walk button, and being able to set my surrounding keys to multiple things. The Tartarus allows you to set different key presses at different depths, so I have some set to have one keypress in a certain range, then a second one only when the switch bottoms out, sorta like the gamecube/steam controller triggers.

Trackmania Original was hugely influential on me when I played it as a kid. Got me hooked on the franchise immediately. And I kinda miss the times when they were campaign-based releases rather than the eternal subscription-based esports version we got now. Anyway, you need to check out/revisit Trackmania Sunrise as well. It's an absolute crime that the environments from that have been forgotten.

Trackmania 2003 was the first trackmania game i've played! Heck I even Drove to the edge of the canyon map and went out of bounds!

I remember well playing this on LAN parties back in the day. That desert car and the asphalt on stilts IS trackmania for me.

This has such a Unity3D feel to it, but it can't be if it was released in 2003, since the first version of Unity3D was released in 2005.

Author medal: Exits Wirtual: couple of hundreds slower, take it or leave it

That was my childhood game omg, definitly the tm i played the most. Spend so much time with the editor making so much map

To be fair, the first (unofficial) Trackmania game is Stunts :D (1990) (that's where Stadum stol... I mean took inspiration from) Buildable maps, 3D, jumps, loops, ice tracks, etc. Wirtual probably wasn't even alive yet back then :D

For anyone wondering about that number plate: It's a German one from Stuttgart specifically.

Man the original. I put thousands of hours into that, 'forever' and 'stadium'. Still have it on cd, with no pc that can play it. And its also made me feel old, as i was 30 in 2003.

Tindral Sageswift (or T-Swift) is the penultimate boss in the current Raid in World of Warcraft. The high streaming numbers for that game right now are due to the Race to World First. T-Swift has proven to be an exceptionally hard boss, with the top two guilds losing against the boss 435 and 399 times respectively before defeating it. That is a lot so there was a slight discussion beforehand if it should be lowered in difficulty, but ultimately the WoW devs in conjunction with the top guilds decided against it. The race is still on-going on day 9 with both top guilds on the final boss.

Dualshock 2's analog buttons: And where did that take you? Back to me.

as a proper Cajun southerner I love hearing wirtuals attempt at a southern accent. I want more 😂

This was my first ever TM game and I loved it. I was a kid and saw it at the school book fair and brought it with me on summer vacation because I didn't know about pc specs. Enjoyed every bit of it as a either end of elementary or beginning of middle schooler. The only reason why I stopped playing it was because a friend stepped on the game, but I got smugglers run out of it

This game is a big part of my childhood. Lovely to see Wirtual to play it. :)

we would love to see a full playthrough

I love Trackmania sunrise. The soundtrack is also unforgettable. I feel like it was really different from today's trackmania but it was really something special: speed, colours, overall impressions. How do you say it? That game really had character. I've already overpraised the game. I hope I'm not the only one who feels the same way about this game.

This is the only TM game I played seriously, because I'm old, and it felt like a spiritual successor to a game on the Commodore Amiga system called Stunt Car Racer.

1:50 "You can beat every author medal on keyboard" From my experience, you can't (at least not an old school one). I did every Race Author Medal on Sunrise, but not on Original. I don't remember which tracks were a problem because I lost my old profile on my old PC (think the Rally ones were easiest surprisingly). Doesn't help that there are no Author Medal Ghosts like there are in Sunrise.

This is the only Trackmania I played ever, good memories. Kept me busy while being in boring lectures.

Holy shit, you just brought be way back, i could never remember what trackmainia game i played as a kid, bit i am quite sure this is the one.

1 year later Wirtual: "how I got every author medal in every trackmania game"

I LOVE the guitar/rock soundtrack in this game.

I started with Trackmania Sunrise but seeing some of these old environments from before that is so cool

"Getting *EVERY* Official Author medal in *EVERY* Trackmania" would be a kickass video to watch. IDK if it's like 2 hours solid of edited content, or broken apart to make like 10 or so 15-20 minute videos (more uploads, more money) but I wanna see you do that.

Maaaan, i fucking loved that game! The Map-Editor was fire!

Holy i remember this game, this game was sooooo nice back in the days, i remember playing it with my dad, which is the only game he ever played and enjoyed.... Good ol days

i am still missing the high speed island maps that came up with Trackmania Sunrise, the precise jumps and high speed sections are just great. i even had some record times back then

Bro that cowboy impression is… something to behold
