I used to play this game at TAFE years ago, it was probably the second version ever made and the best in my opinion. I have found some on google which are too basic, no weapon selections, no decent land mass.
Does anybody know where I might be able to find this old DOS based game? I've tried on google for 2 days now with no luck. (It's for playing at work during my lunch break with mates) |

do you mean the super old school game where everything was 3d polygons (is that the right word?) on black 3d space? cause that game was rad
or do you mean like old school worms, cause that game was even more rockin. it was called scorched earth from memory? |

I miss my Death Track, my disks got CRC's on them :(
Would it actually run on a new machine? There is also nothing really like it out. Carmageddon got close but you didn't have missiles, cultrops, wheel spikes etc. There was a game that was similar but can't think of the name right now. Was for the pentium 200Mhzish |

Years ago crack.com were working on a game called Golgotha which was going to be like an uber 3d version. Unfortunately it never got close to finished, though they released the source code for what they'd done - just had a quick google and it looks like noones done anything with it :( edit: good wikipedia item with comments by Dave Taylor. last edited by trog at 11:44:22 02/Oct/06 |

There was a game that was similar but can't think of the name right now. Was for the pentium 200Mhzish Not thinking of Quarentine are you? Though that was around well before 200Mhzish PC's but it had a Carmageddon element to it and had missles. Original Scorched Earth and Stunts ftw, i wish games like that were available for download with new consoles like Nintendo are going to be doing all the old nes roms etc. |

No it wasn't either of them. It was one where you had missles etc on your car, something like crusher
