- POD vs Moto Racer vs Psygnosis F1: which to buy? 1997-05-21 · 77 postsA user asked which of Ubisoft's POD, Delphine's Moto Racer or Psygnosis's Formula 1 was worth buying. Moto Racer was widely praised for speed, 3D-card graphics and good internet multiplayer, while POD split opinion, with Joe McGinn calling it the worst racer ever and others defending its smoothness, physics and downloadable tracks. F1 was criticised for tearing, poor joystick support and no network play.
- Which racing games support 3Dfx cards? 1997-05-27 · 25 postsA new Monster 3D owner asked for 3D-accelerated racing games. Replies suggested POD (praised by some, panned by others), Moto Racer, Psygnosis F1 and the upcoming Wipeout XL, and noted that the Papyrus sims supported only Rendition. Posters complained that Moto Racer was unavailable in North America, reportedly because its distributor BMG Interactive had gone out of business.
