Looking for Hardware / Software related to Re-volt demos
category: offtopic [glöplog]
Hey! I will repost from other forum from my friend mighty, do youperhaps happen to have any demo disk or other software/hardware related to the game Re-Volt? I've seen several threads sharing old Software, but they're just too many to sift through! Any help would come in handy in this endeavour. 😀
For those who dont know, Re-Volt is a cult classic game that still sparks nostalgia in many, as it was one of the most successful titles of Acclaim back in the day. The community is extremely active to this day - there are several Discord channels with a couple thousands of members, so I'd argue that the game is actually experiencing its second golden age. Understandably, we are always trying to expand our knowledge about the development process of the game, concept art and anything else relating to the game's history, archiving every piece of Re-Volt history that would be otherwise lost to time.
Missing ones
There definitely was a McDonald's demo which was used in restaurants. It included a McDonald's car.
Missing (probably never released):
VERSION_STRING_CREATIVE “v0.01creativelabs” //was this issued with some products from Creative?
Missing (but are known to be publicly released):
VERSION_STRING_MACDONALDS “v0.01ziffdavies” //ziffdavis was a magazine, though
VERSION_STRING_PCXL “v0.01pcxl”
VERSION_STRING_IGN_PC “v0.01ign.pc” (Needs the installer version)

Sorry, this is my first time here! and idk how to works this forum :D
Hi,
Not to be presumptuous or anything, but I think you may have misunderstood the use of the term "demo" as it applies to us (computer art) versus how it applies to what you're looking for (game preview / teaser) :) Am I right with that understanding?

Yes, it would be a game preview of the game, but they are preview games that are lost media nowadays
seems you're barking up the wrong tree then

Thought so :) Sorry but that is outside the scope of this website - we do a lot of archival and digital archaeology, but not related to commercial software or video games (with some thematic exceptions). The fact that there's overlap in the nomenclature is of course inconvenient, but that's how it's always been (and we could argue that we've benefited from it in the 90s, but that's a different story)
Maybe check out textfiles.com? that’s closer to an internet archival site.. There are a bunch of shareware cd images which might have what you’re looking for
Sorry about that, wrong type of demo. But boy did hearing that game's nameunlock some fond memories. Thanks for that! Maybe https://www.reddit.com/r/DHExchange/ will help?
yeah, Re-Volt was great! Gonna dig out my dreamcast and play it!
Turns out there's a community keeping the game alive, and they've got a Discord as well. Guess that's a more lucky place for asking :) https://re-volt.io/ — But thank you for the trip down the memory lane!
Funny thing, I remembered a revolt demo but probably not the one asked here.

I have it for N64. The Dreamcast version may possibly run at a better frame rate, but the N64 version has a high-res mode with an Expansion Pak inserted!
