Screamer (fast CPU required) Description

Screamer is an arcade style racing game for the PC, released in 1995. The game shares some graphical and gameplay style with Namco's popular Ridge Racer (arcade game). The game featured texture mapped polygon-modelled tracks and cars. Software rendering was used in the game, due to the game's release before the wide spread adoption of 3D graphics cards, unlike Screamer's two sequels Screamer 2 and Screamer Rally, that both utilized 3D hardware. As a result Screamer was one of the early games to really require a Pentium processor to run at full speed, particularly in SVGA mode.

EA's racing title The Need for Speed was released on the PC around the same time as Screamer.

The game's music was composed by Allister Brimble[
