Back when I was a kid, my computer wasn't exactly top of the line. It struggled with most modern games, but one day, I discovered TrackMania. Unlike other racing games, it wasn’t about realistic physics or licensed cars—it was about pure, unfiltered fun.
I remember spending hours trying to perfect my jumps, shaving milliseconds off my lap times, and laughing at the ridiculous tracks people built. The simple graphics and smooth gameplay made it accessible, even on my aging PC. But what truly made it special was the track editor. I spent entire afternoons creating insane loops, impossible jumps, and rollercoaster-like roads, just to see if I could complete them.
There was no pressure—no grinding, no unlocking cars, no customization. Just me, my creativity, and the challenge of beating my own times. TrackMania wasn’t just a game; it was a playground, and for a kid with an old PC, it was the perfect escape.
TrackMania was not just a racing and puzzle game, it was a sandbox game.
Even today, I smile whenever I see its name. It reminds me of a time when gaming was all about fun, creativity, and the simple joy of speed.
TrackMania deserves a DRM-free release so more people can enjoy it without issues. StarForce could be a concern, but if GOG can make it work, it would be amazing to see this classic available again!
