Screamer (DOS)

Описание: Screamer is an arcade style racing game for the PC, released in 1995. The game shares some graphical and gameplay style with Namco's popular Ridge Racer.

The game featured texture mapped polygon-modelled tracks and cars. Software rendering was used in the game, due to the game's release before the wide spread adoption of 3D graphics cards, unlike Screamer's two sequels Screamer 2 and Screamer Rally, that both utilized 3D hardware. As a result Screamer was one of the early games to really require a Pentium processor to run at full speed, particularly in SVGA mode. (taken from Wikipedia)

Screamer was one of the first games I got for the PC in the mid-nineties (having previously owned an Atari ST) and I was amazed by the vibrant 3D graphics and fast gameplay.

Unfortunately Screamer is not looking at it's best here as I had to capture the game in low resolution, the game ran too slowly when trying to capture in high resolution due to extra overheads of capturing. Although to be honest, it looks very dated by today's standards, lots of clipping and glitches, but it's still a lot of fun to play.

I purchased this copy of the game from Good Old Games (http://www.gog.com) and it is run using DOSBox (http://www.dosbox.com/)
