| One of the many old games that only a few people in the world know about is called Hot Wheels World Race, and as of today, it falls primarily under the category of abandonware. Personally, I still play that game on my compatible systems, as the game has a limitation on the specs of a PC it can handle. So far, the strongest thing I could get it to work on is a Pentium-4 2.80-GHz 533-FSB socket 478 cpu/system. I've been trying to get it to work with newer CPUs like P4 3.20-GHz, at 800 fsb, (hyper threaded superscalar architecture) still on socket 478, but the game freezes when it gets to the main screen. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this; swapped the video card a few times, increased the speed of my cpu fan to keep it cool (P4 3x GHz CPUs tend to get very hot) and it still won't start right.
I have also tried installing it on a system with an Intel I5 CPU, but the installer says its a Pentium-2 processor. The Hot Wheels World Race game was designed with a minimum requirement of a Pentium-3 CPU, but I know that it requires much more colossal power to run at full capacity, so I later tried the installer on an I7 CPU which should work, right? WRONG!! The installer reads I7 as Pentium-3, which really doesn't surprise me as even hardware and processor manufacturers have to re-use their old baseline technology in their newer parts sometimes. Because the game can run a minimum of a Pentium-3, and it reads the I7 as P3, I installed the game to see what would happen..
Same result as with socket 478 P4 3.20-GHz CPU, game starts up but freezes at the main screen. I suspect that this is a very rare error at the original source code within the game itself and the installer program. I don't have any experience with game coding, let alone any program coding, so I need help repairing and re-packing the game to run on newer hardware! Also, it you want to test the game program yourself, just request it here and I'll PM you a download link.

| Actually, the installer detects it as Pentium III because it can't see anything higher. It doesn't understand what Intel i7 is, because it was programmed back in the 1990's. That's unrelated. It could also do with your operating system, it might be too new to play the game.

| Actually, the installer detects it as Pentium III because it can't see anything higher. It doesn't understand what Intel i7 is, because it was programmed back in the 1990's. You mean the late 1990s. There's a huge difference (both technological and cultural) between the early to mid-1990s (1990 to 1996) and the late 1990s. That's unrelated. It could also do with your operating system, it might be too new to play the game. Probably, it was designed for Windows 95 and Windows 98, so it might not run properly on Windows NT, or at least not Windows Vista and later (still not sure whether the original poster was running it on that or whether he was attempting to run it on Windows XP.

The 1990's is still a period of time spanning 1990 to 1999. Cultural or technological differences aside, you don't just divide the 90's in two. (But that's unrelated). It probably has to do with Windows NT's incompatibility, yeah.

Trust me, I have tried this game on every windows 9x, xp, vista, and 7 build, and the result is always the same. definitely the processor.

Wrong. The game works just fine in XP OS with the right P4 CPU.

Partly right, but for this particular programming, the game was likely designed to accept a specific line of code from older CPUs.

| If your PC is not some old brick and can run Virtual Machines at full speed, id suggest simply downloading Windows 2000, then this game. Install 2000 on virtual box, then install this game in the virtual 2000.
Thats what i had to do for a few games that simply downright refused to run on later OS systems and processors.

A few of the games i have from the windows 95 days refuse to run on my 64 bit intel core 2 duo processor, but will run with the virtual machine. Try it.

My Windows 95 and 98 games that required certain CPU devices, like 32 bit, but refuse to work on 64 bit, play just fine using VM. 2. Depending on your PC specs and how much ram and memory you allow the VM to use, it should run just fine. This game you are talking is old, and if you have a modern computer that has a processor with Visualization support, it should run just fine. Just dont expect to run Fallout New Vegas or The Sims 3 in a VM.

Hot Wheels: Extreme Racing is a racing game for the PlayStation, released in 2001. It features vehicles based on the Hot Wheels series of toys.
Gameplay[edit]
The basic gameplay is similar to most racing games. The player controls their car in order to get around the tracks as fast as possible. By collecting pickups they can obtain new properties, such as nitro boosts, oil slicks, projectiles and other weapons. The computer-controlled cars can also collect pickups. The game contains a total of 24 stages, of which 12 are simply reversed versions of the first twelve.
In Hot Wheels Extreme Racing the vehicles have the ability to transform into four different element types: land, water, air, and all-terrain. And in transformation the body of the car stays normal while the side of the car 'grows' wheels, wings or fins. The stages are divided into different parts, each designed for a specific vehicle. The parts are separated by a 'transformation portal'. When you drive though such a portal the vehicle will change into another type.
Game modes[edit]
Hot Wheel Extreme Racing features four game modes: Championship, Arcade, Time Trial and Multiplayer. In Championship mode the player races against three other computer-controlled cars in one of the available cups. There are six Cups, Easy, Medium, Hard, Rev.Easy, Rev.Medium, and Rev.Hard. Each cup contains four stages. Points are given according to placement, and after all stages a winner is appointed. By winning a cup you can unlock hidden Cheat Code, such as new vehicles, and more cups. You can choose from 8 different vehicles. 3 are available on start, the rest must be unlocked by completing tasks such as completing cups.
Arcade mode allows the player to choose one of the available tracks, and then race it against three other computer-controlled cars. In time trial mode they race alone and must try to get the best time on each track.
The game also supports a multiplayer mode that allows up to four players to race against each other, using a multitap device. The multiplayer tracks are not the same as the single player tracks. There are a total of 12 multiplayer tracks.

The game was originally based on the Hot Wheels: Mechanix car models, and the environments were playgrounds where kids had built imaginary raceways, such as a track modeled in a sandbox. However, in the middle of production the producers decided to change the target group and the whole game got a more mature look and feel. The cars were also changed to ordinary Hot Wheels cars, although the idea of cars transforming into different shapes was kept.
