Screamer 2

This is one of the better PC racing games of the 90s. I remember playing a demo of Screamer 1 that struggled to run on my 486 back in the mid 90s but it still left an impression on me. The sequel improves on every level and gives off that old Sega Rally and Need For Speed vibe. A blast from the past and impressive for 1996!

I've raced the "Screamer" game series since their release in 1995-1996-1997. Using 3dfx graphics greatly improves your visual interface. I play on both a vintage Windows98se setup and my current Windows11 computer. Whilst the game is simple enough in terms of opening new tracks and cars, it is a bit of a buzz competing your skills against AI computer cars. Difficulty increases with advancement. through the championships. Try all cars in all Teams and play with your customisations to get the best setups. 30 years on, I'm still enjoying this game and others of that era. Very nostalgic... sometimes better games than some of the modern developments, but that's up to what the player wants.

E' stato uno dei primi giochi, insieme a diablo, che provai nel lontano 97 (o 98 forse non ricodo), sul mio vecchio pc, un penium 120 con 8 mb di ram. Avevo la demo, che ho consumato, poi comprato il gioco intero (che bello era acquistare i giochi in formato fisico) che ho tutt'ora. Uno dei migliori giochi di corse arcade dei tempi, e secondo me anche di oggi. E' incredibile come questo gioco non teme il tempo. Visto su steam l'ho comprato, per la comodità di avercelo ovunque e di fare una partita al volo. E infatti ci gioco tutt'ora, sia sul vecchio windows 95-98, che con la versione qui di steam. Gran bel gioco. Sarebbe bello vedere anche il suo successore, Screamer rally, altro grande successo della milestone.

This classic still holds up, and it runs great on modern machines, or mine at least.

Bought this game for two reasons: Nostalgia and something light to play. Physic is a bit off, no reverse for cars, one of the bonus vehicle blocked the 3rd person camera because it is so wide. Pros: Solid techno music, good racing/drifting physic for a game this old.

A neat old gen on par with the OG Need for speed. The multiple cup are good until you reach the last one where standard build won't do it... hate to do it but i had to refer to a playthrough to beat last cup... i liked the few track design except [Spoiler]snow and jungle[/spoiler] those are a nightmare to run... Regardless it was fun but beware its a emulation but it atleast save your progress automatically.
