This week your intrepid heroes take up challenge pissing, drink some WINE, and GOG all the thing.
Makes with the working
V-
The options menu only appears once.
No windowed mode.
J-
Sound didn’t work out of the box
Controller isn’t recognized
P-
Exiting the game shuts down my external monitor.
I had to edit the bash scripts they include with the game to remove all the resolution bs.
Total-
Shiny / Sounds
V-
It started /w a NickelBack song. Minus 1 chair.
Seriously, Nickelback? Minus another chair.
J-
When I noticed the song listed on the menu screen, I was suddenly relieved that the sound didn’t work
The game looks good enough. Seems to have aged decently well
P-
The sound pops with the constant buffer underruns caused by the alsa-pulse plugin.
I fixed it by deleting the winealsa.drv.so in their wrapper and symlinked it to my system’s winepulse.drv.so.
Also, before the symlink hack, if you had sound coming out of any other source when you start the game, the game’s sound wouldn’t work.
They spent most of their audio budget in licensing songs and that results in the game only having like 10 different ones.
That or they all sound extremely similar.
Gets two chairs because the graphics are pretty good and the game still runs great on my calculator with 2xAA and 8xAF.
Total-
Control
V-
I managed to make it work /w the Xclone but no option for the Enter button
Then we deal /w the Xclone randomly flipping the hell out.
Really, it somehow changed my auto into manual FFS.
Aaaand for good measure it pulls to the left ..randomly
J-
Both Hori and Real xbox controllers just didn’t work
Keyboard handles a bit like ass
P-
My PS2 Dual Shock doesn’t seem to do anything other than causing the car to constantly be turning right if I set the controller options to use it.
Keyboard works fine and rebinding it actually sticks, so it gets two chairs.
Total-
FUN
V-
J-
This game desperately needs a controller. I derive no enjoyment from playing this game using a keyboard
Also Nickleback
P-
The game is alright, I did enjoy it.
It gets 2 chairs because the amount of BS I had to do on my end to get it working properly.

Final –
