The grim post-nuclear future of off-road racing.
Powerslide, the postapocalyptic free-form racing game with impressive visuals and brilliant track design, is now available on GOG.com for only $5.99.
How much a fresh orange is worth, nowadays? $0.5? A banana? Just about as much. Not really worth endangering yourself over, right? Now imagine a world where the price of fresh fruit skyrocketed after a global nuclear holocaust. A world, where only the richest of the rich can afford proper nutrition. In such world--a barely habitable nuclear wasteland--the less fortunate majority of irradiated freaks finds its only pleasure and retreat in mad auto races called "powerslides". Only the lucky few make it to the finish line, but among them only one will receive the ultimate prize: a healthy meal.
Powerslide not only manages to capture a perfect image of the hypothetical grim post-nuclear future, but also delivers solid and original racing gameplay. Even though the game dates back to 1998, its detailed graphics remain impressive and create a captivating representation of an apocalyptic landscape. All of the tracks present you with many options of detours and shortcuts, so it makes a lot of sense to do a little exploration while racing. This will not only make your victory easier--many special bonuses can be found in the most secluded places.
Unlock all the vehicles and drivers, learn every turn of every track, practice your driving skills and maybe you'll earn your way out of postapocalyptic slum. Race for thrills, respect, money, and your right to proper nutrition in Powerslide, for only $5.99.
