One of my favorite platformers where you even need to switch between slightly different realities to do certain jumps.

Loved that game, me and a friend finished it separately then one night we bought some erm, electric coolaid? and clocked it in around 8 hours...

Big Red Racing was such a fun game, I remember loads of hours that I spent with the demo on a hovercraft!

I loved Big Red Racing! Used to take turns playing it on my friends PC while listening to the Venga Boys CD over and over.

It wasn't bad, but I prefer the Chris Roberts touch and enjoyed Starlancer more

Ahem, they both are, the one is the sequel to the other. He was just more involved in the one title than the other.

The fishy one is correct. Starlancer was all Chris Roberts (and his brother Erin)

The sequel, Freelancer, was conceived by Roberts, and he was responsible for its initial design and development. But before its' release Digital Anvil was sold to Microsoft and he left (to make movies). He still acted as a "consultant" for MS on the game, but his direct involvement in the game that was eventually released was limited. He is not credited directly with either "producer" or "designer" of Freelancer.

Roberts suggested in his original pitch for Star Citizen in 2012 that he had been dreaming of creating "the spiritual successor to Freelancer" and that he was hoping SC would be it.
