TrackMania Racing Construction Kit Revealed

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday October 21, 2003 @06:29AM from the construction-kit-construction-kit dept.

Thanks to Eurogamer for their first impressions of PC racing game construction title, TrackMania. The preview explains: "Imagine RollerCoaster Tycoon where you can hop in a truck and zip around after you've laid the final block. That's TrackMania", and notes that "[the developers] Nadeo promise that track designs will be swappable, downloadable and just a few kilobytes in size." The marvellously-named Fappin has info on a public Beta test, as well as showing pictures of the crazier tracks for this "odd mix" of racing and strategy, which the previewer compares to cult 2D title Elasto Mania in terms of value.

Racing Destruction Set Anyone? by Woodie · 2003-10-21 06:32 · Score: 2, Informative

Hey -

this sounds like the old Racing Destruction Set from Electronic Arts... Back in the day, on my C=64 setting the gravity to the same as the moon of Io. Sure, maybe it didn't look as nice, but the concept seems similar.
