Reckless Drivin'

Reckless Drivin' is a new action game for the Mac. Its gameplay is similar to its predecessor, Burning Rubber, a Mac shareware game I released in 1996. In Burning Rubber one had to drive a car through 2-dimensional levels as fast as possible, leaving as much destruction as possible on the way.

Reckless Drivin' follows the same basic principle, however, it has been completely rewritten from scratch, and it employs a new graphics engine featuring smooth, dynamically zoomed, scrolling 16-bit graphics. The physics simulation has been redesigned to realistically resemble skidding and tire tracks on different road surfaces.

This is version 1.4.4, which seems to be the latest version not based on OpenGL. Using Rosetta, version 1.4.4 (not based on OpenGL) still runs on newest Macintosh models, as the author states on Jonasechterhoff.com:

As the latest version of the game, 1.5.4, will no longer run on current graphics cards, and I don’t find the time to fix this, I am now discontinuing selling the game. However, the older, non-OpenGL version 1.4.4 still runs in Rosetta emulation on the newest Macs, and can be downloaded here.
