Wacky Wheels HD is available for Windows and OS X
on itch.io (thanks
Indie Retro News via
Ant). This is a high definition remake they call "the
official reboot of Apogee's classic racing game." With a revived version of 3D
Realms back in operation we had suspicions this may not be as official as all
that, but they've been selling this for a couple of weeks without any calls from
the lawyers, so it seems legit. Here's
a trailer and here's word:
The Wack is Back, Jack!
The road is a dangerous place, especially when overrun with wild animals in
go-karts! This is the official reboot of Apogee's classic racing game Wacky
Wheels. It features the ferocious critters, cramped tracks, and wicked powerups
that fans of the original love!
Race like it's 1994!
Wacky Wheels HD is an all-new game with unique tracks and features based on the
original game and its contemporaries. It draws inspiration from Mario Kart:
Super Circuit, Konami Crazy Racers, Atari Karts, and more. The entire gang is
back: Uno, Sultan, Morris, Peggles, Razer, Ringo, Blombo, Tigi plus introducing
Hari the grizzly bear!
