Screamer (DOS Game) - Walkthrough

[@AtoragoN1]

this for a while has been the best racing game for pc, that software house was on the top of the world

[@nathanlamaire]

Can't believe that this game uses purely software renderer and still achieve full speed. The game has lots of details for things back in the day.

[@AnonymousV4]

It's impressive but I doubt it ran at this framerate back then lol

[@Chlorum17]

@@AnonymousV4 For this video i used 640x480 screen settings, but there is also 320x240 option available. And as i remember from childhood 320x240 was mainly used, because of drastically framerate impact, so yea

[@nathanlamaire]

@@AnonymousV4 At the standpoint of most people back in the day can enjoy 24 FPS and considered it a 'full speed', it's pretty hard to deny that it's impressive.

[@NeovanGoth]

"Full speed" is relative, IMO it ran like shit compared to arcade racers (although even that was impressive to see on a PC back then). Screamer 2 later supported 3DFX acceleration with a patch, which was a revelation.

[@nathanlamaire]

@@NeovanGoth Arcade machines are no contest compared to generic PC. It's totally understandable if you gonna compare the machine with generic PC than runs around 18 - 24 FPS compared to consistent 30 or 60 FPS on arcades.

Damn, I never seen this before, I would of loved this when I was younger and it would of run well on my families 300mhz beast, I was busy playing Need for Speed at that point.

[@JackRed6666]

That Ran on DOS? Wow

[@Monacomaverick]

It's like Sega's Super GT, except three years before Super GT came out.

[@Autotrope]

That's all cpu rendered right - that's some demo scene level of cg coolness

Engine Sound Sample From Papyrus NASCAR Racing.

[@alexkei4009]

For some reason i could not complete the game and forgot its name. Now i know. It was damn good for what it is and ran great on cyrux2 back then.

[@ocboomer]

I'm guessing you switch to cockpit view on that one track with the crane to avoid crashing in high resolution? Had no idea that works, good to know. I always just went back to low res for that one.

[@Chlorum17]

Yes, i didn't find another way to avoid crashes on that race in hi-res. Also i thought it could be informative to show how game played on cockpit view.

[@Rider-lo9vt]

This game is a year earlier than Simcopter, WTF WAS THAT GRAPHIC MAXIS?

[@lukekociuba5670]

This reminds me of ridge racer

[@FelipeBorgesPB]

what a cool game! shame on me ... I never heard about it before

[@rickrollercoaster9436]

What is DOS?

[@Chlorum17]

DOS is what it was before Windows, in a nutshell

[@Phobeuscz]

Disk Operating System

[@nathanlamaire]

Shortened from Disk Operating System, an operating system prior to Windows (well, olden age of Windows needs DOS for their essential interactions with hardware). It is command-line based, and is very powerful for file management back in the day, since the machine is designed for doing serious business and they need lots of files.
