MMoonster truck madness

Its amazing how noone around here is podting anything about the new far out game Monster truck madness. Its balls to the walls fun as hell and I think will attract alot of you guys away from some of these street sims check out the demo at Microsoft's game page and check out the net site you can race against 4 other players on the net in several different groups, up to 12 diff I think.

you need to have Internet Explorer 3.0 w/X active and then just goto yahoo and type in Monster Truck Madness then follow the instrutions. Its easy and well worth it. I've been racin' Nascar and ICR1 and 2 for 2 years now and MTM has taken over all my attention! Its that cool. Its like Nascar or ICR2 (SVGA graphics)and the truck model is excellent, graphics are stunning and the competition is killer! you can download the demo of MTM at most of the *** sites. Search for it at the *** yellowpages. ITs well worth the hunt! good luck!

I haven't seen the game but maybe it's not written by Microsoft. I have Close Combat which is released by Microsoft but written by Atomic. A pretty good game too :) Tony

Guys I was just kidding. I know some of Microsoft's games are good. Believe me I love Flight Simulator 5.1! -- "Everything's gone to hell John, God help us all.." General Hague , EarthForce.

I Hate to admitt it, but I brought the game too ! and its great fun. It also supports Direct3D !! But could it be true what the papers say about Bill Gates being Devil ??? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Southend, Essex.

It's a fun game to a point. I was racing over the Internet against a friend,,,and well, at times we were playing two seperate games. When the latecy gets too high, MTM makes up what each player sees until it can get the two linked again. We were playing the game and talking on other lines and he would say "BAM, I just hit you" and it was not what I was seeing. On my screen he would be infront of me pulling ahead. The he would vanish and end up way behind me. Fun game, but not very good over the internet... -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete Nascar..Weather..OnNetCameras..Oddities..and more.. Stop on by, what can it hurt?

I'll agree with you about Close Combat...good game. But pass on MTM, not worth it for me. Musta been made By Microsoft <G>. -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete Nascar..Weather..OnNetCameras..Oddities..and more.. Stop on by, what can it hurt?

It's incredible how people would say anything to justify the money they spent on any crapware... I've tried it and it's so slow I can't see what's the point...

in the future with patches microsoft autmatically makes you load before entering MTM. If you race against a friend, go direct modem, youll see a big difference. My modem buddy and i have 2 lines too, Man isnt that halarious?! We have alot of fun being able to race and talk together, especially in ICR2 and Nascar!! - CRAZYACE

You must have been doing something wrong it screams on my computer with everything on in hi res. I think it is a good game, no need to justify. Did you turn your graphics down to 256 colors?

> > It's incredible how people would say anything to justify the money > they spent on any crapware... I've tried it and it's so slow I can't > see what's the point... 1ST POINT, I didnt spend a dime on the shareware. 2ND POINT, Crapware is your opinion, and as far as I've heard from everybody, yours only. That statement shows your level of maturity with different types of racing simulation software. Evidently you haven't been in the racing sim community long, What a couple of hours I guess. 3RD POINT, I forgot to add in my previous post that you have to have a desent machine to get a good framerate - thats frame-rate. A 486 wont run it very well, but then again , I dont think a 486 will run anything these days!! - David Gary

The problem with internet play is latency and people with different ISP's turn off all sound and set graphics to auto and no lock ups should occur. Anyway the game does kick but, to bad you can't Drag in Multi player though!

it for a couple of days too busy with icr2 it is incredible,but one day i thought i would give it a shot, it was awsome, i guess thanks to the reactor card i get around 30fps , only have one track to try i will go and buy this great little game, it is great to drive all over anything i pushed a rv camper into the lake if you have it try running into the out houses by stands some guys starts yelling "hey im still in here", you can even do flips and rolls.

MTM gets my vote too. ***y good game..... Graphics cool to using Direct3D on a 3DFX. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Parkstone Motor Company, Southend on Sea, Essex United Kingdom. -----------------------------------------------------------------
