Set in a post-apocalyptic environment, the original Powerslide was a racing game developed by Ratbag Games and released for the PC on December 1998. In 2003 Ratbag were working on a (self-funded) sequel, know as Powerslide: Slipstream, but the project was canceled because they were not able to find a publisher interested in the game.
As we can read in the original press release, “Powerslide: Slipstream featured drive-anywhere environments full of jumps and action across twelve post-apocalyptic environments, including Berlin, Los Angeles, London and Sydney. Wheel-to-wheel collisions promise spectacular accidents, with special animated features on the vehicles, including moving fins and stream vents for slipstream mode.”

This game looks fairly fun, lots of different paths and such.
Now a days publishers have a bit more freedom to self publish smaller games then add on tracks and cars later with XBLA, PSN and Ninty store…it just a shame those outlets was not around then.
I could see this selling 20$ with 3 tracks 5 cars and then 3$ a tracks 1$ a car.
