Big Red Racing is a racing video game released for MS-DOS in 1996. It was developed by Big Red Software and published by Domark.[1] This game was also planned for 5th generation consoles such as Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, 3DO, and Atari Jaguar however they were scrapped.
Big Red Racing is a comedic racing game. During races, the commentators make humorous comments, stereotypically themed to the country they are from. When menu items are clicked, humorous phrases are played.
There are 24 courses and 6 cups, encompassing the globe, the Moon, Venus, and Mars. Each course has a humorous subtitle, usually a parody of a famous phrase or film.
For the driver, the player can choose from a few different body shapes and change the colour of the clothes. For the vehicle, the player can change the colour and decal.
The later Eurogamer writer Keith Stuart was commissioned to write an expansive backstory for the game, which was to be included in the printed manual. But a few months before release the publisher balked at the cost and cut the manual. Looking back in 2016, Stuart wrote: 'They were right. It didn't really add anything, it was indulgent (...) No one will ever care that I spent several weeks writing that nonsense or that now it is gone forever.'[2]

GameSpot said for the PC, 'A racing sim it's not, but arcade fans should get a real kick out of it.'[3] A Next Generation critic highly praised the variety of playable vehicles and tracks and the use of real time graphics. He remarked that while the low graphical detail makes the game look chunky, it also enables the game to run just as smoothly with six players as with only one. However, he criticized the single-player mode for the AI's apparent cheating, since there is always one racer just slightly ahead of the player car, and recommended that consumers not buy the game until they've made certain they have someone who will play it with them.[4] Frank Snyder of Computer Game Review offered Big Red Racing a positive score, writing, 'I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised in the end.'[5]
One of the few games that really provide the most bang for your buck, Big Red Racing delivers furious arcade racing on 24 tracks, each with 2 vehicles to choose from-- for a total of 48 vehicles that range from a jeep to inflatable boat and a helicopter.
The courses themselves are also nicely varied, with excellent SVGA detail-- you'll race on the red track of Mars and get wet in the US water race. Awkward controls and none-too-bright computer opponents mar this otherwise great game. It may not be realistic, but it's a helluva fun in multiplayer modes.

@Quarty : the CD ISO contains all the musics in standard audio CD format, thus weighting a lot. Added the RIP version now.

This game was pretty cool. Unfortunately there's not a good screenshot of it here. But yeah, definitely worth a check out for nostalgia. I remember being confused by the title, because I didn't understand how Racing could be described as 'Red'. :) Somebody later informed me that the developer was called 'Big Red'. :)

umdesch4. Upload your version :)
I'd play this game a LOT when children with bestfriend :) on a PII 350Mhz i guess.
I like some of the vehicles on this game.
I love italian races with shit old cars.
I love the 'dirt' Trucks dirt races on france and egypt.
The Kenya with monstercar/truck
And also the plain boat!!!
I suggest anyone to try old style games.
PD: We play as one have to catch the other by consistent hit ignoring the race.
Regards!

Carlsgro2013-01-080 point DOS version
This game is awesome. I bought this as a 3 pack of games cheap. 10/10

@umdesch4
Nope its the full version.
Compression is better in a zip over a CD image.
an ISO audio track for example on a CD image will
rip to 15mb(exameple) and its unzipped
In a zip file that track # would go from 15mb to 1mb or less.
MP3s also prove this.

This was one of perfect games in its time with multiplayer gaming we played all the time when we had enough of FPS games (read duke nukem)
admin2011-12-190 point DOS version
it's the full version
umdesch42011-12-181 point DOS version
I have an ISO image of the original CD for this game, and it is 82 MB. This is only 28 MB, so I assume it's just the demo version.
