Whose a fan of MegaRace?
I'm a fan.
I know there isn't a whole lot of game to it, but I'm a sucker for the Cryo graphics of the 90's.
I never did play the sequels (not ye anyway) but I'll always have a fondness for the first one.

What's giving you trouble exactly?Austin wrote:Any tips on how to actually succeed in the 3DO version? The game looks nice, but I keep getting destroyed (literally) prior to ever finishing a race.
Are you trying to speed past the cars? You really should be destroying them. As long as you don't let them get stuck right behind you it's pretty easy.

The game is less of an actual racer, and more of a driving combat game ... I guess the closest on 3DO might be Off-World Interceptor (although MegaRace is better imo ... much less chaos!)
I was just playing it earlier to see if I might have a tip or two for you ... sadly I forgot my copy tends to lack up on the 3rd race ... If anyone has a spare, pm me.

I'm a fan of Mega Race, never tried the sequels (are they PC). But "race" is a misnomer, it's sanctioned "road warriors" on tracks instead of open road, kind of like the re-make of Death Race 2000. Not original, the same type of games were around on the older 8- and 16-bitters I'm sure, thought the only one I can currently remember, strangely enough, is a rare Atari 7800 game called 'Fatal Run.' Not to mention the 3DO's own 'Crash N' Burn.'
Anyway, I also agree that continues would have been nice, although I think I've made it through a few levels. I too, kind of enjoy the FMV tracks; I think this type of game can make perfect use of FMV in-game. Obviously better ways came along, almost too quickly, to replace FMV games of this type. Maybe I should look into the sequels if they do it the same way. But the fact is that Crash n' Burn is better for the same basic type of road warrior game, although the power-ups on the road give Mega Race a little boost in gameplay, would have been a good idea for CnB, IMHO.
