MegaRace 3

One press [ENTER] in menu - single or double jump out to desktop and return to game menu. It is a bug. Unfortunately, the game is useless on Windows 10.

Pros: crazy guy in the intro Cons: laggy AF -> unplayable

MegaRace 3 is the abonmination child of Wipeout and F-zero's a little older friend Megarace. I got so excited when i saw the price of the bundle. Started playing the first one...I was a happy camper. The first Megarace is as simple as they come for a combat racer. 2nd one would have looked pretty cool back in the day. Now it doesn't. However this is about 3rd installment which I only managed to pull through about 3 minutes due to menus glitching whenever I tried useing a pad and trying to set that up. It felt strange, if not wrong with the transforming ship. It's a cool idea, but it has been executed poorly and feels like the devs just took the name (Megarace) and Lance and shoved it in to a smoothie maker with a few otherwise cool ideas, stuck it in the oven and took it out half baked because of whatever reason. "It looked done". But boy did it not feel done, Even for the bundle. The third installment of a game that changed racing for the 90's (imo) makes me physically ill and whil...

Poor quality control from the publishers - The Linux version literally downloads nothing.

If MegaRace ever gets it's reboot finished, I'm sure it will be nothing like MR3. For a game with "Upgraded Tech" it just feels so cheap compared to the first 2...and borderline unplayable. Also, why replace the cars with? Wannabe F-Zero Wipeout Pod Racers?

The first two games run fine for me, this one crashes after the intro.

Fix the deadzone issue devs and this will be a very good game.

It works on my Windows 10 Pro without lags, idk why are you all hate this

For some reason the contrast in this game is extremelly low... or high? i don't know, all i see is black. the meny is too dark, most the stages i can only see the bright ceiling and everything else is black... but guess what? while showing it to my friends (and even taking screenshot) the image is shown bright and clear. so basically, the game ins unplayable for me, as the game have no option to correct contrast. and no, i'm not messing my screen just to play this game every time i wanna play it. aside from that, the megaracer suffers from seizures, even more in speed mode where it feels like it's getting stuck on the ground. It may be a port problem, or this crappy zoom emulator they used. as it is, the game is unplayable for me.

MegaRace 3 is an ancient game from 2002. It's a whopping 21 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks proper widescreen aspect ratio (it's 4:3 only) and lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions, hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a relatively high price tag for such an ancient/abandonware game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge. It's a sci-fi racing game that has you take on the role of a futuristic sci-fi vehicle pilot/driver as you race other sci-fi punks around various low poly sci-fi/hallucinogenically inspired tracks. The game does feature some old-school curiousities such as full motion video as you get a rather well performed intro by an older actor who acts as a commentator and compere for the game and the racing scene. That's pretty well done and Microids obviously spent some money making this game all those decades ago. This nostalgia ...
