Old Skool Racer will strive to recreate the sheer thrill of classic arcade racing games such as Outrun, Screamer and Wave Race 64.

Karma Play's Old Skool Racer is an entire racing game world designed to be developed in close cooperation with fans of the racing genre.

In the game, players can choose from four different vehicle types such as futuristic cars, motorbikes, speedboats and hoverpods. In addition to Quick Race, Time Trial, Stunt Mode, Combat Mode and Championship, Old Skool Racer will also feature several eight player multiplayer modes, achievements, trophies and a global leaderboard.

After the game’s initial release, the company is planning monthly feature updates based on community recommendations. To start this process, Karma Play is now hosting a Discord channel. This channel will host weekly opinion polls on the most requested game features and all future development activities will be based on the poll results.


The game will feature a complete level editor which will allow players to customize all the existing levels or create completely new ones using the tools and assets provided.

The level editor will also provide the capability to change lighting and add visual effects such as rain, fire, smoke, snow and explosions.
