''Powerslide'' is a post-apocalyptic PC racing game developed by the now defunct Ratbag Games. It was released in Australia, United States, Japan and Europe in 1998.〔http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/powerslide/release-info〕〔http://www.ign.com/cheats/games/powerslide-pc-3124〕 Ratbag, the Australia-based game company, was purchased by Midway Studios in 2005 and was shut down shortly after, leaving the staff unemployed. ''Powerslide'' was praised for its graphics and AI in particular, which were both impressive for their time. A sequel, ''Powerslide: Slipstream'', was in development as of 2004, but Ratbag couldn't find a suitable publisher, and shortly after their company was shut down. Powerslide can still however be purchased at GOG.com.〔http://www.gog.com/〕
==Story==
Early in the 21st century, the ozone layer disintegrated. Surprise! As the price of sunscreen skyrocketed, any species not turning a profit in the global marketplace soon found themselves unable to pay for UV protection. Bees, flies and all the other creepy-crawlies got their sensitive eyes fried. No bees, no pollination. No pollination, no crops. No crops, starving humans. Starving humans, global war. It would have made a great movie, but the entertainment market is in recession, owing to the 99% decrease in consumers.
After all the famines, fighting and nuclear fallout, after six billion people bowed out of the human comedy, what was left of humanity's dross and scum clung tenaciously to life on the earth's scorched surface. Underground, away from the burning sun, wealthy corporations formed huge cities and began a new existence. Like human termites, they now live in totalitarian conditions, each performing their role in the hive. Comfortable but caged, these corporations have a very middle-class obsession with cleanliness and order, almost as if to deny the calamity that they caused above ground. On the surface, feral and feudal clans slave, sweat, fry and die under the ultra-violet radiation. Unaffectionately referred to as 'upside fry-babies' but the Corporates, they barely manage to eke out their barbarous existence, imperiled by pollution, pestilence and plague.
The decimation of billions of people is tragic, but the cars they left behind are an entertainment opportunity to good to refuse. Now, lawless gangs of feral joyriders race through deserted streets and countryside, docklands, sewers, and multi-level parking lots. Slapping together grunt machines of awesome power, they have become known as Powersliders. Until recently, Powersliding was an illicit venture for an abusive and exclusive bund of psychotic motor lunatics. Although it sarted as an exclusively feral pursuit, and banned by most Corporations, a bung of Corporate rebel racers have recently joined the action and brought their radical new technology to the contest.〔http://www.carmageddon.com/forum/topic/26314〕
