Fatal Racing (aka Whiplash) PC MS-DOS Gameplay

[@naviamiga]

There is something so nostalgic about these 90's software renderers.

[@gutoflorentino]

Esse jogo é uma viagem à minha infância. Passava horas e horas nessa fase, tentando domar o carrinho verde, Auto Ariel se não me engano o nome dele. Era uma demo do jogo, só tinha essa pista, e ainda sim ficou marcada em minha vida. Obrigado por compartilhar! ❤️

When i was a kid i loved this game ! hours and hours playing: it's like Ridge Racer but with Steroids ! much more adrenaline !

[@reloaded_]

It's a great and rather unique game, there's nothing quite like it.

[@webguy943]

Funniest racing game ever as a kid. Cheers

[@UnexpectedAmy]

You're going toooooo FAST!

[@ACatCalledSnow]

Back in the day I played the PC Format demo of this so much. The corkscrew track was great. If only we could get a remake.

[@merkin51]

Oh wow yes, I was trying to remember how I got a demo of this! PC Format!

[@ACatCalledSnow]

@@merkin51 I played this and Screamer lots back in the day. If I recall it was a November issue of PC Format? Or at least that was one which reviewed the full game. I never played the full version of Fatal Racing until decades later where I played it as Whiplash.

[@drugon]

I'd prefer port for modern OS with improvements like two recent ports of Wipeout.

[@ACatCalledSnow]

@@drugon I'd take that too.

[@dmitrisafonov6976]

I cant believe they never had a remake of this game.

[@ВикторЗлатопольских]

Классная игра! До сих пор помню запуск из синего меню Нортон Коммандер, были 4 игры, lines, scorched, nfs1, и fatal 😂🎉игра была сложная, в основном я ездил на Авто Ариэле, гонки где были крутые серпантины я как правило проваливал, но хорошо что мой напарник нередко приезжал в первой тройке и мы таким образом выиграли чемпионат 😂🎉🎉.

[@NewChannel-l3l]

So many great memories from this epic game... bought a Logitech Wingman joystick just to play this game, and never really used the joystick for anything else!

[@notanfningain]

Loved the exciting MS-Dos days of gaming.

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

Waaaaay smoother than on contemporary hardware, even with accelerated 3D.

[@reloaded_]

True, we tend to forget how much PCs of the time struggled with 3D games.

[@curtainsavatar]

I remember this game not running fast enough to play - and I really think it was a 100Mhz 486, IIRC, that I was using.

[@MobPsycho87]

Along with Top Gear, my favourite racing game of my childhood. 😊

[@tmwnsounds]

I was playing time trials, trying to beat my records through endless nights...thx for this :)

[@RickRobinsonDonnellan]

This is one of my all time fav racing games. Id love to see these tracks in Wreckfest, that would be so good

[@PolyhedralVideo]

Thanks for sharing this! I got this for Christmas back around 1997. It was a fun game for its time.

[@reloaded_]

Yep, great game, too bad it never had a sequel. Thanks for watching!

[@PhilipCoetsee]

Fatal Racing and Screamer both came out around the same time. Screamer had better music and graphics. I liked FR more because of the stunts, jumps and flips. I only ever played the freeware / shareware versions of each that came with PC Magazine and my dx2/66 couldn't really run either game that well, but I still put in hundreds of hours with both games! Good times... I'll be 47 next month.

[@ryonagana]

this game is sick. i never played but i hear about it its Daytona USA mixed with Destruction Derby + coke

[@Rage2552]

I remember the graphics being way better back in the day 😂

[@reloaded_]

Here the game is running in VGA 320x200 resolution, but the game also has a 640x400 mode, and even received a 3Dfx patch later on, that made the graphics look much better, maybe you remembered it that way :) Here's how it looks with the 3Dfx patch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nom2iKKgd518l5Ysi=oilJbj-8iSeQU9vJ

[@sebaxiNho]

@@reloaded_ I remember pressing something like f10 or f12 in my game and the graphics becoming like in that link, if not they were like in this video, it took 1 second between one or the other just pressing a button

[@dexvoltage]

and with a fastest lap at that! classy!

[@islamfawzy6523]

The mechanics are kinda realistic ngl❤❤

[@nicholasisaiah53john316]

Good memories.

[@xaviersejour9183]

I have the disc with me right now but I don’t think I’ve ever played this. I’m thinking of just giving it away at a antique store near me

[@kalenorchard1729]

YOU'RE GOING TOO-DARN SLOW!!!

[@reloaded_]

mp10 to mp9 I’m heading for the pits

[@cestlavie7069]

Where can we get this game.. I wanna be go back for 20 years

[@CuoreSportivo]

myabandonware

[@mousqy]

i played this on an intel 133Mhz

[@fakename6658]

120 mhz here. It ran quite well but the high resolution option was a slideshow.

[@CuoreSportivo]

same! 16MB ram, 1 MB S3 Trio graphics card

[@danielengel4593]

5 fps on my PC back in the day 😢

[@InheritTheField]

= 386 with turbo button?

[@st.john_one]

great game

[@maxfreezy5124]

So shit Graphics at that time, but so much more fun and hope in life.

[@turbodymoman124]

GT Racing 97

[@TomeeDee86]

God, the music was awful, for this only game I'm glad I didn't have a soundcard back then... 🙄

[@reloaded_]

The game also has CD audio music, which sounds better, but it defaults to midi and I forgot to change the setting…

[@alphaomega8373]

Dude you were screwing up the other racers! Go fast or get out of the way!

[@reloaded_]

All strategy… it paid off in the end :D

[@ArjanBeens]

No kills though...
