§pectre: (...) Is it Cabela's 4x4: Offroad Adventure ?
Hello §pectre!
Yes! It is indeed "Cabela's 4x4 Offroad Adventure" - the first one.
Released in 2001, it is utilizing a hybrid voxel-polygon-engine for the environments, resulting in (for its time) quite rough and uneven surfaces in the landscapes, but also featuring some unnatural slopes and inclinations.
Although, the third in the series has improved a lot in the graphics and car handling, I still prefer to play from time to time the first one. Because it has a more arcade-like game structure (different game modes and 'missions' to choose from, and once unlocked a variety of vehicles and customization options when revisiting). The third game in the series does rely both on its roleplaying mechanics (based on experience, quests/tasks and money) as well as on vendor location for purchasing cars and their parts' upgrades. Thus the third one is more restricitve when revisiting for a 'quick' gaming session.
I guess there are relatively few people who know these games.
Thank you §pectre for not giving up! Now, it is your turn.
Kind regards,
