Back in the mid ’90s, I was hooked on an PC racing game calledScreamer. It got a sequel a couple of years later, and then the series went dormant. Until now, when it’s seemingly returning as a foreboding, anime-infused racer about defying death, once again called simply Screamer. Huh! Huh. You’ll find a trailer below.

I guessEd will be happy?
Did the first Screamer have any kind of plot or framing device? If it did, I’ve long forgotten it. I remember it having great, Ridge Racer-style car control, and I remember my brothers and I becoming extremely competitive about trying to beat each other’s times. I also remember the rally-oriented sequel being less good.
I don’t hate that the new Screamer seemingly moves in a new direction. It’s been a long time, and there was nothing about the original duology that feels essential today. You can these days grabScreamer 1andScreamer 2from Steam, although you’re better off just watchinga few minutes of the original on YouTube.
