[oth] [tpk] Roulette

Post by LongBow »

Keywords: roulette, luck, hazard, micromachines

Its been more than 4 years since I last released a track. It was the last quarter of 2005 when I posted my trackpack H.O.O. :roll:

Today Its time for another trackpack! Its completely different from my previous work (and from lately released tracks on this forum) so I don't expect many people to like it :D

I got the inspiration from the MicroMachines game (even though there is no such track there) and from real life. The entire idea is based upon the roulette table and everything concerning it, especially luck :) The track pack consist of 3 tracks which have the same base but 3 different layouts: easy, medium and the hard one! I strongly suggest that you watch the AI make some laps, so you learn the correct driving line. I also suggest that you use a car with good overall grip (the original General for ex.) Since these tracks are somehow out of ordinary they can be quite tricky to drive. Keep in mind that for a
good result good luck is mandatory. The roulette is a hazardous game after all :flip: :) The AI line is optimized for the original the General.

You should put this tracks in the »micromachines« folder where tracks like TuomoH's QuertyHop, Piet's Book GP and glue-a-track, Hova's PencilNPaper...already are :nod:

I hope you like this diversity and a brake from "common" tracks :idea:

Splendid ! So original and funny... It's not a surprise for me and it seems to me that you've improved the wood texture from the beta version I tested... Anyway excellent work, thank you ! :clap:

Great and fresh track it is. Only problem that finding out where to drive is kinda complicated in the beginning :rolleyes:

Is it intention or bug, that ''H'' has ''Place your best'' instead of ''Place your bets''?

Anyway I love it, this is precisely the lowliest characteristic of this game. No idea is enough crazy to be impossible in our world. :bg:

I know....but I had to make many compromises when making these tracks. Let the AIs be your guiding light :angel:

Its intentionally :nod: BTW there is another "hidden bug" present in all three tracks :hiya:

Haha! This track is awesome! I've tested it and it looks cool. What's more, I like the word "Place Your Best" on the Hard version.
Y'all, I just woke up... what did I miss?

Hey LongBow, that's a fresh track for sure. :nod: Looks great, too bad that I can't test it out as I'm on netbook and this can't handle GR... :?

Great work, I was looking forward to this release, but I didn't expect 3 layouts/difficulties! :o It's too bad that you release a track every millenium or so, It's a shame really. :nod:

I bet that the reason is the spinning in the roulette wheel ;)
