This is the place to share tips and talk about Rollcage.

Oh my god, Rollcage! I played the demo obsessively. Starting a challenge - taking a shortcut right at the beginning - landing not perfectly - restarting the challenge immediately - continue ad infinitum.

Now I have a game to play with my friend! (If it wasn't for that short-cabled controllers... )

As far as I remember, you can change the camera. But it may very well be that the camera is unfortunate.

If you get this:

(Rollcage needs to be installed from a CD ROM drive.)

[edit] Changed the instructions and attached a registry data file. If you don't want to make the changes described below completely manually, open and read it. [/edit]

...you can edit your Windows registry ([Start] -> [Run...] -> type regedit -> [OK]):
go to create (right-click on the directory and choose [New] -> [Key] for each directory level)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Psygnosis\Rollcage\Ins taller
(it should be there if you executed the RollCage.exe)
(the space is made by the forums after 50 characters)
right click into the right frame and choose
[New] -> [String Value]
enter
[Source]
double-click on Source and type
X:\DISK1\
where X is an existing CD ROM drive
-> [OK]
execute the RollCage.exe


By the way: Could someone without ImageShack account tell me if he sees the picture?

I had known about Rollcage since because of its gameplay and its soundtrack. One of my favorites.

Rollcage is awesome!
I just recently played it with some friends, because it's one of the few (good) games you can play with 4 ppl local. The controls can be very hard if you are unexperienced, but that's the only negative point about this awesome game.

I stand corrected for my first post. I meant Rollcage II. The predecessor is utterly frustrating.

First, I see the picture, don't worry.

But my problem is that I've run the batch file, and I've tried running RollCage.exe, but it doesn't run, and those folders aren't there when I go into Regedit. There's no Psygnosis folder. Do you have another way to get this to work, or at least a way to put that folder into the registry?

follow the guide on the review page, on the bottom. you can create those keys if they are not there

Usually you would use a .reg file to insert values into the registry, although here the drive letter will depend on each case...
