Incredible article

This is quite possibly the best classic video-game article I've ever seen on Wikipedia. It pukes all over anything I've done so far. I mean, it's just got so much love thrown into it, it's what every video-game entry should aspire to be like. Bravo to those who created this masterpiece.

I love this game, but the article needs cleanup. And I need advice on how I can get it to run under Windows XP. --Nerd42 15:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, see Wikipedia:Cleanup for information on cleaning up Wikipedia articles. You can submit the article to be worked on by others, but you can always improve things yourself of course. As for running the game under Windows XP, this is not really the appropriate place to talk about it, but try this. (It's just a page on the fan-site linked to in this very article.) I didn't try it myself, but it explains setting up the game with DOSBox. (There's a download link and general DOSBox information in that article.) I hope that helps.

Censored Line

Hello everyone,

I decompressed the "MEGARACE.DAT" file (from the DOS version of the game) to see what was inside and discovered a piece of Lance Boyle's dialogue that was originally censored from the final game. I found this "uncensored line" in the "Megaamer.sub" file. Here is the censored line that you find in the game:

It's because of quitters like him that vicious speed-gangs miss out on a wonderful rehabilitation program! Tune in next time to Mega Race when we'll have a real Enforcer to admire!

And the original line that I found in the "Megaamer.sub" file:

It's because of quitters like him that vicious speed-gangs miss out on a wonderful rehabilitation program developed by New Directions in Meat Incorporated, makers of Bleed, the candy-bar poor folks love to be a part of! Tune in next time to Mega Race when we'll have a real Enforcer to admire!

Now, due to the nature of this piece of dialogue, should I forget about putting it in the triva section for the sake of others? I don't want to offend anyone. And if I did offend anyone already, I'm sorry.

Please help me out! Thanks in advance!--Mr. Sinistar 14:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be fine to include it. Wikipedia is not censored, after all. The line is really not that bad anyway. Kinda reminds me of Soylent Green

Okay, then. I'll put it in the Triva section. Thanks for the help!
