What's this game?

Ages ago i played a Playstation game called 'Speedster', this was an overhead arcade-style racer, but not 2D - rather the objects were 3D but viewed from a very, very long way away. Thing is, i've something like this very similar on the pc and i can't remember what it's called or where i can get a copy. I'm guessing the game was maybe 'Public Domain' or Shareware or something because it didn't seem to be a big commercial release. I'm guessing since you all follow these sort of releases closely (mods, new games and the like) and, although i know it isn't a sim, you might have encounterd it.

I don't know what it is, but if it's an older game, try http://www.abandongames.com and take a look around Or you might try Googling for "abandonware." Good luck!

I think Micro Machines v3 was actually 3D, but had a 2D-style top-down look and feel... although I guess if the game you remember had involved driving around on breakfast tables and pool tables, you would probably have mentioned it... :)

That was a top-down but 3D racing game (and a hell of a lot of fun, too).

It wasn't particularly good, but passed the time for a while. Definitely commercial rather than shareware, but I don't think I ever saw it in the shops. -- Above address *is* valid - but snip spamtrap to get me to *read*! 1a) WD Yahoo!
