Beside with the 90 degrees screen rotation bug I really hates when the race starts without counting adn the camera stays for two secs on the start line. I think thats just because the loading time which is the same like the one of diablo 2 level.[/b]
Just hit ESC immediately after the race starts ans wait until the camera positions itself correct behind you, then continue. That way you don't miss anything.
Btw F1 switches between the three different camera views on your car. F2 toggles the behind mirror vew on and off, useful to see if one, and who, is behind you. F3 toggles a view through all cars in the race (press it more than once to switch to next car), following their location constantly.

Btw., if we could set up a multiplayer match against each other to try the both cars on each side, I could show you why Cougar is the winner and not Toyeca.[/b]
Okay, sounds fun. Shall we? Please PM me if you feel like it.

The Cougar's acceleration is not slightly inferior to the Toyeca's, it's way so, according to the game stats (the coloured bars appearing when you choose car); the Cougar's is 65% of the Toyeca's. On the other way around, the Toyeca's maximum speed is 90% of the Cougar's. (Yes I measured the bars with a rule and made the operations. :P ) Aside from that, their weight is the same, the roadholding is equally good in both cars, and I feel the Toyeca can turn somewhat sharplier, which is good.

Well I tried both the Toyeca and the Cougar in the first course of the Platinum Cup --Supermarket 1. These are my results. I ran twice with each car to add some minimal representativenes.

COUGAR

First I came in 3rd place, on the second race in 1st place. But in the latter case I came only few metres ahead of the closest pursuer, which was the Toyeca by the way, and he was going to win but I got to pass him because of some severe crash he suffered when nearly there.

Average speed very similar in both races, 35 kph (*kilometres* per hour). I measured *average* speed dividing the total distance 6x502 = 3012 metres by the total elapsed time, which I measured myself with a clock because time measuring is bugged in the game.)

TOYECA

On both races I came very easily in 1st place, 100++ metres ahead of my closest pursuer which wasn't the Cougar in either case.

Average speed 37.5 kph and then 39 kph.

I guess the best car really depend on the track you are running, as you need a good acceleration on tracks with lots of difficult curves that slow you down, and a good top speed for tracks that feature long straight lines.
But a balanced grip/weight is very important mostly everywhere to not just hit all the walls in the technical parts of each tracks.

Of course, these factors coupled with how the transmission is : forward , 4wd etc..

On the "Stunt" track , i succeeded to get the 20 stars (and so unlock the funny "clockwork carnage" game mode) with the panda car, while i had a very hard time with other cars.

I've been reading this post, and was wondering if anyone is interested in setting up multiplayer matches. It was a delight to see Re-Volt on here, I purchased the game long ago and used to play online.

There is a program entitled "RV House" that can help you play online and find other people (www.rvhouse.net) and it will lead you to the big Re-Volt community.

Unfortunately for myself, I lost the game long ago and this version seems to have some trouble online, at least for me. Does the game crash when setting up multiplayer for anyone?

I'd like to try an ip address game if possible...any takers?

Yes, the version of the game available here for download seems to have some problems with multiplayer mode, maybe some files missing. One needs to have a full CD version of the game to play it online, it seems (I do).

Wow, I just downloaded this game and and it looks uglyier than the demo I have. I'm wondering why the font is so different and the loading screens too. The demo only takes couple of seconds to load (and it does it straight away) while the full version takes ages and waits like 5 seconds before it does anything. Also the menus are different and its also made by "Iguana London".

I have the music for the frontend/main menu and Toys In The Hood, is there anyway to put them in this game?

Oh and when I try to set up or try to join a multiplayer game on the internet I don't get any crashes although there arn't any games available...

I doubt you cannot, it's very old game.

This game was hellofa fun game to modify. You could modify tire grip, tire weight, general weight, acceleration speed, to speed.. You can always squeeze some fun out of racing games by editing car values. Other good games for editing are GTA series (from 3 to up) and Carmageddon series.
