One of the guys that worked for Software Allies used to post here, but
I'll be damned if I can remember his name.
I think how it went down was that Sierra promised a 3dfx patch for the
game when it was released, but then cut off development.
It's a lot like GPL, really. It was way ahead of it's time, having a
full 3D world when NASCAR Racing 2 was the standard.
I still load up SODA and play it from time to time, but it looks
really dated now. I had high hopes for Leadfoot and some of the other
offroad games to live up to SODA, but none have.

I just ran the demo in software...it was actually not as bad as I thought
it would be. My biggest problem was getting the steering figured
out...first you can't just assign buttons if the game already is using the
button(like the shifting) you have to assign the function that is using the
button/shifter/paddle to another unused key, THEN you can assign the freedup
button to the function you need.
Once racing, you MUST countersteer, but you must do that VERY early in a
corner. I was spinning and looping almost everyturn because I was
countersteering but so late that the buggy was already turning around. Once
I began counter steering almost before the buggy entered the corner, it went
much better. Great product for it's day. I know when I built a track
several years ago..it took hours and hours to render the track. I wonder
how long it would take an XP 1800+ or a P4 to render a homebuilt Soda track.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to even get Soda to run after Windows 98

how odd, it should default to software, and it should run because it's
just direct x 3.
which .exe file did you use?
