FREE Carmageddon clone -- Death Drive

Anyone else try this on the Touch Pro or Diamond? Works pretty darn well, in my opinion. Slightly older Carmageddon clone for PPC.

“made in Russia” game Death Drive, I've given a try to the great Carmageddon / Destruction Derby / Twisted Metal / Death Rally clone, which was released for the Pocket PC. That is, unlike what the title suggests, it's not a "plain" Carmageddon clone - it's just that the title length is limited and had only place for one title. That is, it's pretty much like Handy Entertainment’s Dreamway and Garga Games’ Ganxta Race on the Pocket PC - but all in 3D, unlike these 2D games.

The game uses the same Voxel technology used in, for example, the Comanche series, which, at its time (in 1992), was a real breakthrough on PC gaming with its (compared to alternative technologies) excellent speed and visuals. The speed advantage is present on the Pocket PC too - the game is pretty playable on, with today's standards, low-end Pocket PC's and has no problems on VGA devices either.

The direct download is here

Yes, it's almost 15MB, just extract the files to a folder on your storage card and run the .exe file. No need to install.

I'll give it another shot, it was unplayable on the mogul. Haven't tried it on my touch pro yet.

I like it, but haven't figured out how to exit the program on my Touch. I'm guessing there is a setting or something I missed because I didn't have much time to mess with it. So I ended up having to SR to exit...
