Wacky Races

I noticed that we don't have a good kart racing game here - one of those that you can throw "presents" at the opponent to bring him out of his way... Mario Kart is one of these games and thousands of people play online every day, and maybe millions play it single or cosole-multiplayer!!
I remember having the same fun with my friends playing this game, which is indeed a very good Mario Kart clone for PC. Here is a screenshot to fresh up memories:
As for the multiplayer online matter, the game used to have a strange online program - site for playing on the internet. It was called "chatnplay" (there is a chatnplay.exe file in the CD - hope you can get smth out of it..)
Anyway the game is not playable yet with newer cards, as it uses a "setup.exe" for the video to be configured - which unfortunately can't even detect my vid card!! As a result I get software rendering in 320*240 of the graphics on 1650*1028 widescreen... LOL :p Hopefully I'll get in touch with Timesleep and see if he can fix this problem. (as he did with CS )
EDIT: PROBLEM ABOVE IS NOW FIXED!! ----> Seems I had to clean the NVidia drivers with "Driver Sweeper" LOL After that the setup.exe detected my vid card and playing in 1024*768
