Not sure if right location, but.... I like the retro-ness of the cars, music and there is a freaking lt35 to choose from.

Haha I was planning to post up a thread about this when I got back to my proper computer (away from home at the moment).
It is great fun. Recommend it to everyone that likes a bit of retro rally arcade action. PC only at the moment as far as I can tell.

Looks good - I looked for it on Steam and clicked on the free demo, but there then doesn't seem to be any demo option, am I missing something?

Reminds me of Sega Rally too. Looks really good. There are quite a few of these 90s style racers around now. Rather like there is quite a bit of very 90s sounding house music about, many of the developers are probably children of people like me, those who spent far too many hours playing games on C64s etc and down the arcade. A few years ago the big thing was 8-bit style indie platform games but now the 90s are old enough to qualify as 'retro cool' ... just look at some of the fashion teenagers are wearing. 1992 called, it wants its clothes back. Oddly, looking at things objectively, early 3D in the arcade and on PlayStation looks awful now really. The earlier 8-bit stuff looks great, as does the later 3D stuff. I'm a gaming nerd, I love playing old titles on my original hardware but some of the 90s games have aged really badly, in a way the 8-bit 2D ones haven't. At least these modern iterations run at 60fps, try playing Starwing on the SNES now, if you can live with the headache inducing frame rate. If you like this sort of thing, try Hotshot Racing. Looks a lot like Virtua Racer etc and is good fun for a pick up and play arcade racer. I'm waiting for the table top revival. Astro Wars, now there's an addictive game! |

I'm waiting for the table top revival. Astro Wars, now there's an addictive game! Was a lot of cocktail arcade remakes around 10years ago. Probably quite easy to build one |

Building a MAME pc, and adding some arcade buttons is pretty well documented in other forums. I will look forward to a build thread ;-) |

I downloaded the demo months ago and really enjoyed it. I bought it when I found out they included the 85 Lada Samara.
The makers of Art of Rally also make Absolute Drift Zen Edition it's quite challanging but very good.
Cranks and Goggles is another good top down one.
But BeamNg Drive is still top of my list for car games.

I got the free demo from here gamejolt.com/games/artofrally/478982I found it through Fail Race videos on youtube months a go, I think it should still work. |
