Help me remember, what was that game?
Im trying to remember a game… But i cant I’m getting old, and I can’t remember things as well as I should… And when I think that what im trying to remember was about half my lifetime ago… But all that means is I’ve been gaming too long and I’m getting too old!
Help, mainly from Fuzz, Oz and Kazashi… But many of the older IPXers may have played it too!
“It came from a Macca CD”
It was a cartoonie driving game (top viewish). The cars in this context always appeared to me to be like micro machines (no it wasnt micro machines. One was a yellow monster truck which growled when you hit turbo, a black hotrod with flames and a crazy laugh turbo, a police car with turbo siren, a monkey ambulance, a red sports car, school bus with screaming kids and others.
The tracks were crazy: a jungle where you’d race over rope bridges and jump a volcano, a town where you had to beat a speeding train and a port where you’d jump boats!
We used to IPX it up and would love to play again!
Id pay for it “again” if necessary….
Anyone remember the game/name?

Oh boy that takes me back. That game is actually one of my youngest brothers favorite games of the time. I used to play it split screen with him as well as you guys LAN. Fantastic game… that would absolutely still hold up today.
The game looked like this:
The name of the game was…..
IGNITION

LOL
From wikipedia:
“Particularly in Russia, the game claimed as one of the most exciting games during the rise of the legend games like Fallout, Counter-Strike, Starcraft and Diablo; also because of the flourishing pirate CDs on the markets Ignition became very popular”
Even in Svalbard :)
Online
It looks like it may support TCP/IP. I thought it was IPX only. That’s promising…
Ha
I forgot about the banana car with the carnivale music!
Extremely good memory!

Adventure game? It was an adventure, but not sure I’d have it in that category.
Nice find though!

Ignition
We got it working on Friday single player.
You need: – The game – The 3dfx patch – something else, think it was called nglide
That was about it… It works.
The hard part is getting the networking going. We tried hamachi, which SHOULD work. So far it just gets stuck at the point waiting for players. Interestingly though when I create a game in there, the others can SEE it. They just get stuck when joining it.
Some more work for us I think at some point to figure it out. Hoping its something silly like port forwarding.
Should you need to forward ports when you’re connected via Hamachi?
Oz
Some fantastic games there… Joust! Budokan!!
Awesome… I still remember playing Alley Cat at Babuda’s place (axe man, coolbananas… he had so many names, can’t keep up)
Skunny...
That was a good game. I still remember having to put up with demos back in the day. Whatever you could get off PC Gamer mags.
It was a treat if you got ur hands on the real thing… These days, it’s just too easy. The thrill of getting a new game isn’t as great (except when it’s NBA!)
I’ve dead set never played Mario Kart.
Does anyone remember Wacky Wheels?
What'cha gonna do?

That was some fun… I actually didn’t like racing games (since I sucked hard at them), but I was still willing to dive into some races around Moose Jaw Falls.
Damnit..
I always sucked at that game…. Bloody train….!
