Hi all, still here...

Great to see the game is still going strong with new and not so new players, keep Re-Volting guys & girls.

I've first found out about Re-Volt around 2003-2004 when I was a very young kid (I was born in 2000). We got to know this game from our neighbours, and I started playing, but back then only in Junior RC. Like someone else's playtime in this thread, mine was also limited, and I always wanted to play one more race before it was over, because I really enjoyed the game. Owing to the fact that I played on XP, I also remember having to quit after each unlock, since I wanted it saved due to the high occurence of crashes. I next found the game on abandonware, and that was when I first started downloading custom cars and tracks. My favourite site at the time was RVTT, and I really liked that there were even F1 cars that we could download. Looking at the wayback machine, I realize that some of my favourite tracks weren't very popular, but they included the likes of Colorado Raceway and Hockenheimring (yeah, again, I'm an F1 fan). Around 2014, I found out about a Hungarian online forum, where I found a tutorial about MAKEITGOOD. I added every piece of garbage to my tracks that I could, which made them very unaesthetic in retrospect. One of my favourite things to do at that time in Re-Volt was, however, going a lap in Time Trial with every car I had, writing them in a spreadsheet (to have every result), and making a qualifying-like race session out of it. Toyeca was a winner a lot of times, but then custom cars were added, which made it exciting yet again. I even made my own version of Toyeca for those races, consisting of a bit of modified parameters, Cougars body, and a repaint. It was a failed attempt, since that car didn't win many races. I still have some of those spreadsheets. I found this site around a year ago, and that was the latest resurrection of Re-Volt in my life. I downloaded it instantly, and played a few races when I had time, but since it was my last year in school, I also had other places to focus. However, I also started learning 3d modelling thanks to Marv's plugin during school holidays, when I had some free time. I created my first track, which was a private one, because it had one major issue: it was very narrow, not suitable for racing. My other track has mostly been W. I. P. for half a year now, but I've started going towards the finishing touches and I think I can finish a distributable version in a few days without a lot of work. On that note, it's important to know that I'm very lazy, so most of my projects are often left half-baked, and I need inspiration to do stuff. On this forum, I've been a lurker until now, but I plan to be more active. Happy racing and happy anniversary!

Very cool, thanks for the post! Looking forward to your track.

Hello, I'm GJ.

I first played Re-Volt on both the Dreamcast and PC as a young child. I rediscovered the game in 2013 for a nostalgia trip, and discovered a ton of custom tracks from RVZT/Re-Volt Zone. I had always wanted to make custom tracks since, but did not have the slightest clue how. I had an account on the now disbanded Re-Volt Live under a different name (I only made one post), and in early 2015 I got burned out and went on hiatus until earlier this summer.

During the years I was away I became a 3D environment designer, and apparently it's easier for me to make tracks now. Who knew?
I also look forward to learning how to build cars someday.

I'm excited to learn more about this community as I reintegrate.

[Kirbyguy]

Hey y'all. Was cleaning out my hard drives and found this game again. I used to make cars under the name of kirbyguy22.

Last time I was around these parts, I was still in high school... I graduate university next year with a CompSci degree. Nice to see familiar faces still around here.

Hey, welcome back!
I've got some of your cars in my custom cars folder, and MightyCucumber's repaint of Bed Bug is one of my favourite custom Rookies. Cool to see you!

Hello everyone, I am lusdjke.
Nice to see so FANtastic community about this gem.
I just found it through some comment on 9gag and already installed game on my android.

It was my favorite game in childhood and I used to spend a lot of my school breakfast money for this game in computer club However I have installed it on my PC in 2017 and played single races and championships a lot.
For now it would be great experience to play online with you guys.

[LivingWithGames]

Hello, LivingWithGames here or using acronym for short being L-W-G. I used to be one of the many main users in another forum of Re-Volt but as time went by as I left my 'goodbyes' due to Re-Volt no longer being my major interest, seems few things changed. And today I decided to make an account here, even though the Discord server is usually the main stuff nowadays.

There is a saying about moddable games being the ones that keep the community and games alives. This is still true for Re-Volt. Participated in few races now and even am finally making my own skin. Never the less, it's my pleasure and honor to be with both old and new players/users within this very fun community.

~L-W-G.
