About Powerslide
The year is 2020. After an environmental holocaust of devastating proportions, the population hovers slightly above the zero mark. The rich have fled underground, where they have formed corporate enclaves. Above ground, the desolate cities and desert wastelands are inhabited by a feral population of freaks and survivors. With 98% of the population dead there's a lot of cars around just waiting to get driven into the ground. The ferals started the Powersliding competition, the corporates banned it. It's dangerous, it's illegal, it kicks butt.
Powerslide is the off-road racing game that makes its own damn track. Race through the punishing post-apocalyptic terrain, ghostly cityscapes, brutal alpine tracks and icy roadways. You’ll be torching the tundra. Scorching the Savannah. Leaping over canyons. Surfing mud-slides and braving perilous urban and outdoor environments. You’ll be feeding the off-road speed demon within.
Multiplayer modes and content are included but not supported.

Steam version is best version. I played this game as a kid. Now I can relive my childhood.2 found this helpful
the game is fun even today, but you have to use "Powerslide Remake" binaries2 found this helpful
[h1] Powerslide [/h1] [h3] Positives: [/h3] + Nostalgia and retro feel + Impressive graphics and physics (for its time) + Well made and varied open world tracks + Cool vehicles + The Sabre and Supercar + Ok handling + Quite good music + Cheats you can play around with (take a look in the steam guides) + The first two championships are cool and fair... [h3] Negatives: [/h3] - ... but the last two (expert and insane) have completely unfair and unforgiving difficulty and is no fun - AI's way to aggressive on harder difficulties - The last parts of the championship are more or less impossible to finish on top because of this - Unrealistic almost constant sliding (feels like driving with F1 tires on rough ice) - Some gliches and bugs - Gets very frustrating to play because of the above - Soundmixing is not good (even when adjusted, the motor sounds deafen the music) - Some very low textures - Can be quite challenging to run on Windows 11 (see below for tips) [h3] Conclusion: [/h3] Well this game was and is still a mixed bag. The graphics and physics (though unrealistic) are very impressive for a game out of the late 90's. And along with Dethkarz, these racing games pushed the graphic…
Crashes a bit on Steam Deck, but fun game from a by-gone era. Well worth the $2.44 it currently is to play a game built for Windows 95.
I can't believe I've apparently never thought to look for this game on Steam, just kinda figured nobody would've cared enough, or the copyright would be unattainable... But, I accidentally found it lol, and I'm tickled pink! One of my absolute favorite childhood racing games, from back when games were actually hard to beat haha. Total gem! Great physics, neat tracks, neat cars, and an awesome general vibe! Now if only we could get DTR, DTR2, and DTR: Sprint Cars on Steam!
underrated gem
