      Looking into it, ZOOM Platform is run by the Jordan Freeman Group, which has a similar mission statement to GOG, that being a DRM-free games platform that also touches up and sells old games. They seem to have acquired publishing rights to the FlatOut trilogy, along with either source code or enough resources to touch them up without it. I didn’t know about them until this post, so it’s nice to see that GOG isn’t the only DRM-free old-games platform around.

      They are. The devs behind them even have their own game in production - Wreckfest. Lacks the stunt mode last I played. But pretty good and online.

          What changed? I’ve had it since the “next car game” days. I played it in random bouts months to year(s?) apart. It often felt like a new game each time.

      Played them as a kid on the ps2 in America. Loved them as well Haven’t played last one.

      I am not sure but am glad they are. People could do some cool things with maps and special stunts
