Skyline Riders (original)
First and foremost Skyline Riders is about powersliding. Before you try to beat anyone online I suggest traveling around the city in 3rd gear(manual) or top gear(automatic) and practicing 90 degree turns.
To do this just cruise along and tap the left mouse button to yank the emergency brake. This along with a slight movement (dependant on mouse sensitivity) of the mouse will initiate a power slide. Now aim your car in the direction you want to go and tap the right mouse button to turn on your traction control. With this set up you can spin 360's, 180's, or whatever turn you want and control it perfectly. If you are in 1st gear pressing left mouse button once along with a slight movement of the mouse will initiate a burnout.
I hope that everyone who plays the game can appreciate the beauty of this setup. It allows you to make increadibly precise turns without having perfect timing, although some timing is still required. It is somewhat hard to explain the control but the best way I can explain it is powerslide aim you car in the direction you want to go and wait for the car to get to the turn and then press the right mouse button. The car will not break from it's previous momentum until you either press the right mouse button or are going pretty slow.

| Programming, Modeling ... | Not Bad | This was the first game I ever entered in a game making competition (which was a multiplayer competition). I ended up getting 4th place. The winning games all involved shooting, which strangely enough was what this game was about until I decided to try and think 'above' primitive urges. Had I stuck to shooting I probably would have won! That's what I get for trying to think outside the box I suppose ... |
