Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

    Does a remake of the first Wipeout count? It was technically made very recently, as the source code was leaked in 2022 and a couple of projects re-built the game based on that, but the original came out in 1995

    If that doesn’t count then it’s Battle Engine Aquila from 2003

      Aquilla is a really cool game. I think I came across it by chance on a warez site back in the day. I had never heard about it. Honestly, I think this is the first time since that I’ve seen any mention of it. Might have to dig up a copy. Thanks for reminding me!

        I was honestly surprised by how well it held up. The battles still feel impressively huge. Have fun with it!
