Who had fun with Powerslide?

Picked this up from EB's bargain bin section (under $5) and was
having a blast. Cute tracks, decent physics... The only part I HATE
is inability to combine keyboard and joystick controls (something I
had no problem doing in Dirt Track Racing). It also had some trouble
using my DirectX graphics when it saw my GLIDE card (I have both
a TNT and a Voodoo2 in there).

Wish they released more tracks...

If I remember correctly, the only thing I didn't like was that there was no
in-cockpit view.

I actually bought that game when it came out (which is VERY rare for me). I
really liked the demo a lot. and I'm pretty sure I remember using a joystick
and a keyboard at the time. But, the full version had modified physics or
whaterver, and I ended up not liking it, but I really liked the demo.

I liked the graphics, they were nice and gritty, and it was a "go anywhere"
type thing.. really cool. The course with the destroyed hoover dam or
whateve.. classic!

I thought it was a cool little program.  I picked it up on ebay a long time ago
for about $8-10.  Never tried racing anyone other than the AI(doesn't it have
multiplayer?)

How would I get it to work with Windows 2000?
