This is our review, almost two decades late.

[@zoltanpocza]

This is lovely! :) I'm one of the developers and founders of the developer company which made Screamer 4x4. Thank you for bringing back good memories and appreciating (in the proper context) what we did at around age 20 :D I can also tell you some anecdotes on the useless navigator if you want ;)

[@efecede22]

I can't thank you and your team more for this masterpiece. Also, this is the first game I've ever played on the first pc my dad gifted me. He brought the pc and the CD of this game, me and my brother played countless hours. Again, thank you so much ❤️. I would love to know more about the navigator lol although I played it in spanish!

[@hanswielstra]

[@davideisenmann4746]

Hi, tell please all you remember of this beautiful game!!! And more, can you share some tools for game please? To make my own trophy. And the main question: what logic to win HiLux and Raba ??

I'm so glad you bring attention to this old unknown gem! For those of you on a quest for more offroading games: BeamNG Drive Spintires Pure Rock Crawling Off-Road Drive (2011) MotorM4X: Offroad Extreme D Series OFF ROAD Driving Simulation SCREAMER 4X4 Some lean more on the arcade side some more on the simulation side, but they are the best quality offroad games we have on offer. Yeah, we need more offroad driving games.

There's a strong possibility the game's physics were affected by the fact the game is running too fast in modern hardware. To fix this, enable Vsync or, more drastically, use framerate-limiting tools like DXWND which is a wrapper for old versions of DirectX/DirectDraw. The real question: anyone managed to make "Test Drive Off Road" work on modern hardware? That game was DOPE

ok its lesson time ... i beat this game more than 50 times ( even now in 2023) anywasy you lie a bit... you get the engine upgrade before each pathfinder so your v8 in defender comes at 3th or 4th championship....you said u got the v8 and at the end restarted championship becouse of rolling....you dont get the v8 until 4th championship...upgrades go in order...graber tires,auto diff lock rear,cross tires,,auto diff front...tractor tires... etc... engine upgrade is before pathfinder...AND NOTE !!!1 YOU CAN ACTUALY KILL YOURSELF IN THE GAME...during championship ( easy way is with the unimog ) drop from a high cliff direct on the roof.... possible with all cars but unimog is the easy becouse of the weight....u get disqualified with red croos showing on screen (u got hurt ) .....try it u will lough.... anyways i know this details since im a legit ultra pro in this game, there is no bush tree or a rock i didnt crawl over it... more than 50 times. so yes i know every single detail and order in this game

So is it possible to enable dirt build-up on hi-res textures in the game?

[@gurriato]

Since I got the game after watching this video, maybe this'll be useful to someone in the same situation: I found the controls for gear shifting very unresponsive, making the game unplayable; the problem was that the framerate was too high and it was affecting the inputs somehow. In my case I went to AMD Radeon Settings and made a profile for the game executable, "Screamer4x4_gl.exe", with a target FPS of 60, which fixed the problem.

[@andipajeroking]

Man, those graphics are decent, and for a 2000 game, they are pretty impressive.

[@zare721]

I also played like kid. But i still hawe it.. only now on hdd. At this moment i just show this game to my sohn (born 2015) 😁

[@T4lyX]

I just found this game on GOG, great childhood memories. Sadly I can't get the game to work no matter what I do so I'm stuck here watching videos

[@revsnowfox5798]

Probably you have to limit the framerate to 60 fps max, either via the GPU driver or with DXWND.

[@Omery-od6vu]

My childhood blah blah blah, oh memories blah blah blah, such a great game blah blah blah
