Sumea has been covering this pretty extensively for the last couple of days - Ratbag Studios, an Austrailan games developer (bought out by Midway only five months ago) has been shut down. More information - sad news! |

Did they ever end up making any good games after Powerslide? I remember they made a another racing game that was boring although I think it sold well in the US.
Powerslide was such an awesome multiplayer game. |

Noooooo :(
They made Dirt Track Racing, some sequels to that and recently finished a sequel to PS called Powerslide Slipstream. It was for PC and consoles, but they couldn't find a publisher. |

Yeah, Dirt Track Racing was horrible. How many times can you have fun driving around an oval track...over and over and over.

It's quite old now. They may have it at K-mart or one of the big games shops.

My friend works for Ratbag Studios. Told me that they were under contract to work a further 3 years there. They were shafted by Midway indeed. Ratbag Studios is in Adelaide.
