YaTEdiGo: I love "scifi" racing games, I played all them, Starwars Racer, Xtreme G, F-Zero, Wipeout, Powerdrome, Power Slide, and POD is one of the most boring ones. Still isnt too bad... but it is also no good.
That's too bad that POD isn't that good. :-/ But Wipeout, F-Zero, and Xtreme-G are all fun games! That game looks pretty cool! MobyGames says there is a [url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/powerdrome_]DOS version and a Windows version.

Both PowerDrome games are good, the original one I played it on Amiga, and it was awesome for its moment, anyway is kinda old now in gameplay terms... but the remake for Xbox and PC (didnt checked the PS2 version they say is bad) is a totally underated gem, with a very good enjoyable gameplay and graphics, more when you get use to pilot the pods. Hope to see it one day here.

(The new Powerdrome is the one you linked, but there is also a Commodore Amiga game named like this, that is the original)

I love both of them.

The OLD Powerdrome game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLMjCbchy9E

The "NEW" one, frankly speaking I prefer this one, as the old one is nowadays too primitive (Even if in it´s day is way better in some things, is more "sim" than the new one) The new one is FAST as hell, I love it

I played it on Xbox, but I know there is a PC version.

That newer version looked pretty cool! I wonder if GOG could get the PC version.

haha, didnt see completely my own videos, I was working, the first guy plays horrible, I remember do fast laps all over in the Commodore Amiga, and the "filter malfunction" thing, is like change the "tyres" on cars, it means you are in a planet that has some kind of "dust storm" that need to change filters of the engines or they got burn. Anyway is a ver old game.

The new one doesnt have that "sim" things, but is faster, playable and fast as hell, I found a video of the PC version.

And PS2 version, not as bad as I imagined https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TztZ_JA_NJ4

It was a VERY underated game, I read some of the reviews, they were awful, probably from people that didnt played the game more than 10 min, I can tell, as they said the controls were difficult, and I finished the game, I tell you they were HARD at the beginning, but never "awful"

Hope to see it here, I own the Xbox version, but I would like to play it on PC at 60fps.

That inside-view from the PC version looks great! GOG really needs to get this racing game! It looks like the game was created by "Argonaut Sheffield."

Uhhh no :)

That hint is still up for grabs, guess-wise :)

Ok, how about Split/Second? GOG still needs more racing games!

System Shock?

Taking a wild guess and say: It Came from the Desert

Geico looks almost like Casio logo. According to Wikipedia, Casio produces watches (includes G-Shock and Wave Ceptor ranges), clocks, electronic calculators, digital cameras, electronic musical instruments and mobile phones.

Mobile phones sounds interesting. Maybe GOG plans to enter iOS/Android/Windows Phone market?

Maybe it will be either Need for Speed or Burnout. EA is kinda due considering their last release was SimCity4 and there just might be additional titles that GOG secured along with it.
