Who had fun with Powerslide?

Picked this up from EB's bargain bin section (under $5) and was having a blast. Cute tracks, decent physics... The only part I HATE is inability to combine keyboard and joystick controls (something I had no problem doing in Dirt Track Racing). It also had some trouble using my DirectX graphics when it saw my GLIDE card (I have both a TNT and a Voodoo2 in there). Wish they released more tracks... -- --remove NOSPAMYOUIDIOT to reply, [email hidden] is invalid-- K S C H A N G 77 (AT) PC Guru, web developer, gamer, Trekker Y A H O O (DOT) COM database developer, idea man, IT guy "If it looks too obvious, it probably is." -- anonymous
If I remember correctly, the only thing I didn't like was that there was no in-cockpit view. Larry "Kasey Chang (remove EATSPAM to reply)" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:z1%xa.2911$[email hidden]...

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 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?)
