Save the ferals and the corporates

Submitted by loch on

Hi sumean's, I was hoping all of you that support aussie games would sign a petition to save the sequel to adelaide based ratbaggames powerslide, titled Powerslide: Slipstream.

If you liked the original Powerslide this one looks unreal (if you need some convincing IGN has a hands-on preview). So please if you've got the time just follow the link and sumbmit a signature!

All the best, I hope things work out for you.

PowerSlide was a brilliant original game, alas all the programmers involved in the original have long since left Ratbag - They all were gone by Feb 2001. And so ended the partnership of a brilliant group of individuals. I was _extremely_ lucky enough to work with them for a short while, and I really dont think you can build a PowerSlide 2.. without those people. It just wont be the same.. Sure it may look nice, and might even drive ok, but it wont have that X factor.. that only comes along once in a blue moon..
