...As I recall it's a DOS/early Windows game. Doesn't run on newer systems/OS. I know there is a tricky way to get other BUILD engine games (like Blood, Shadow Warrior and Duke Nukem) to run on Windows XP, has Redneck Rampage just been optimized for WinXP?
I want to know before I mistakenly download it thinking it will just work.

GOG.com uses DOSBox (from www.dosbox.com ) to run it . Hence the game works on XP/Vista, although you need a fairy powerful PC to run it smooth.

Hmmm... I recall DOSbox running the BUILD games pretty terribly.
Maybe DOSbox has updated their code or something since then? I'd hate to think this site is a sham.
It's about time for me to reinstall DOSbox any way so I'll take it for a whirl.

Actually DOSbox runs BUILD games quite nicely. There are some minor problems that some have experienced with Redneck rampage but they are not anything that would affect the gameplay. Those may have even been in the original game. Just think about it, if the game had trouble running correctly, people wouldn't have given such a high rating to the Redneck rampage.
Also, if this site was a sham, do you think that we would have such a big community. It all works very well.

You don't need to download DOSBOX to run GOG.com games. All GOG games that require DOSBOX to run come with DOSBOX when you download it. Also, GOG has gone out of their way to setup up your game to run through DOSBOX when you start it up.

I see now! This all works pretty well.
Too bad the game is way worse than I remember it. :[

I turned the ear-splitting, awful soundtrack off after 30 seconds of play. Totally out of place with this type of game. It's like listening to your iPod while playing Mario with the sound muted. Doesn't flow. The game is way more moody with just ambient noise.
There seems to be a bug wherein I automatically use all items in my inventory upon retrieval of said items; I'm unable to get in the door of the shack in the first level because my character is so drunk, can't walk or even mouse-look. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to turn mouse-look on. I had it on earlier but ran setup to fix the wonky controls and it went away.

Yep, I had similar problems when I started playing Redneck Rampage too.
U turns on the rat-aim (mouse-look). If something still doesn't feel right, you may also have messed up your mouse axis in the setup. May take a couple of tries to get them just right.

I fixed the mouse-look but my character is still drunk as a skunk with no sign of the "booze-meter" going down any time soon... I think I'm done with this game. :/

Yep it's not a game for everyone. No-one is trying to force you to like it.
As for the booze-meter, it goes down slowly and thats why you should avoid getting it to the red zone. If you watch that you don't drink too much cheap alcohol you should never get drunk.

Westerna does not get that the game is not supposed to be dark and moody; it''s like Duke Nukem in that a lot of it is supposed to be on the silly side, and I think the music fits right in.
And I LOVE that with the booze power you get drunk. Fun to have a power up that has
a penalty attached.

You're missing the point. I never applied the power-ups. They activated automatically. So when I walk over the Whiskey and the Six Pack outside the General Store, it's pretty much a death-knell.
And you're drunkenness actually goes up and down even once you've stopped drinking. Which is an interesting dynamic (if you've ever been hog-wild drunk you know what I mean) but it really has no place in a video-game. :[
Trust me, I'm not confused; I eat, sleep and breathe FPS. I was born into this world through the old BUILD engine games like Duke, Blood and Shadow Warrior. Serious Sam and Painkiller are two of my all-time favorite games (not so much Painkiller, bleh.) I get the "humor". I don't get the game-breaking bugs.

Hmm, drunkenness should increase ONLY when you use beer/cheap whiskey. What do you have your use inventory item -key set on?
P.S: eating cow pies makes you more sober.
