Takes skill to drive like a nutter.


<span class="bold">Ignition</span>, a top-down racer in which the end-game is fun, is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com

Fun, fast, and weird... that's Ignition in a nutshell.

From buggies through school busses, an assortment of racers plows through twisty, jumpy, shortcutty (and absolutely unique) tracks! There's no regard for safety, no time to explain, certainly no time to hit the brakes ever. (Do grab a friend and make time for the split-screen mode!) It's all about the race the finish no matter the cost – which does tend to make for a jolly ol' time.

Swerve and speed through crazy tracks in crazier races with <span class="bold">Ignition</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Has anyone experienced screen tearing too? It really hurts my eyes and I can't seem to fix it in the DOSBOX settings. The Windows version on my Windows XP VM runs smooth as butter on the other hand and has no issues at all. :|

I almost thought that this was a returning title, and then I remembered I downloaded it from Abandonia.

Legit certainly is better than abandoned in this case, as Ignition is a tricky one to run.

666_Vomit_666: Installed it on Linux (Linux Mint 17.1 64bit, 8GB Ram) and it crashed when trying to play the game. Loads fine, but crashes right when the first run is being started.
it's a known problem, I have it running on Ubuntu, using the doxbox that comes with Lutris

EDIT: runs perfectly under Wine at 800x600

tinyE: Anyone here actually played it?
Who doesn't, it was well known at least among russian gamers (who read games magazines at least)

deja65: Guys,i need some help.Did anyone encounter the infinite explode bug.Basicly,when the race starts,after a period of time my car suddenly explodes without any reason.All respawns after that end with immediate explosions as soon as i get dropped on the road.Looks really funny,but is probably a bug ;).Any help would be nice.Cheers

EDIT: It started appearing right after i changed my keyboard layout.Maybe it has something to do with that :D,or maybe not.Cheers
please check your in-game options: PERSP. POLY option should be OFF.

There was supposed to be a Support Note for that - an oversight that will be fixed shortly.

Well, here's something totally unexpected to top my wishlist. :)

This used to be one of our absolute favourite splitscreen games among me and my friends! We first played a demo from a magazine CD, then spent many many hours with an unfortunately less than licensed full version… but I have so many fond memories of this that when I saw an original boxed copy of it at auction a few years ago, I just had to get it! (See attachment.) So naturally, I'm buying it again here, too =)

As others have pointed out, the German title was "Bleifuss Fun", so that's what it also says on my box. "Bleifuss" was actually the German title of Milestone's "Screamer" racing games (which are also on GOG), which were very well received back in the day. And since both those and Ignition were published by Virgin Interative, I guess they thought they'd profit from the established brand.

Haha, interesting read, thank you for all these informations.

I did know, that Bleifuss was the german title for the Screamer games, but didn't know, that more game were published under this "name".

Zoidberg: Whoa thanks! And no need to mount the image, bandizip could open it no problem...
But the game launches to apparently two black screen then exits... :/
You can try to run the Windows verison like this (video instructions):
