Alright, this one is not that old, but I played this a lot in my student house against room mates. It's actually a pretty cool game where you drive remote controlled cars on cool levels. During races you can pick up goodies to disturb other drivers like, throwing water balloons, firework, dropping big bowling balls etc.The championship is pretty hard, but once you get the hang of it worthwhile. During championship new tracks and cars are unlocked; better handling, more fast and a better acceleration.Stunt Arena part crashed when starting.Revolt!by Latis

WindowsThis is a Windows game. Sometimes it should be run on an older Windows version or at least a 32-bit Windows. You could use VMware player (free) and install an older Windows on a virtual machine. e.g. I have installed my old Windows XP 32bit on VMware. More info on that you can find over here.

The SDL2 GameController API is used to provide support for modern game controllerslike the Xbox 360 and PS3 Controllers. This means Triggers can be selectedalong with other axes. Axis and Button names are displayed in the Controller Configmenu for these devices. A GameController mapping database is included thatsupports various controllers "out of the box".
Controller GUIDs and mappings are logged at game start. This can be useful for addingyour own GameController mapping in case one is not available for your controller. Custommappings are sourced from profiles\gamecontrollerdb.txt.

[Root.Monarch.GetName]'s refusal of the Church demands to suppress the Hussite faith, has made the papal faction in Bohemia grow embittered. They view him as a heretic and enemy of both them and the Church. On a meeting in Zelena Hora on [GetDateText] they have declared [Root.Monarch.GetName] unfit. Together with like-minded nobles in Silesia they have begun embarked on an open revolt to our rule.
According to Imperial law, the Electorate of Brandenburg remains in the hands of the [BRA.Monarch.GetTitle] despite our suzerainty. Naturally the other Electors would be less inclined to support ours bids for Emperorship if we are seen to be forcing their peers to vote in our favor. If however we depose the [BRA.Monarch.GetTitle] and put our own [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] on the throne, the electorate would pass to [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim] and the issue would be bypassed. Though this would surely upset the lords of Brandenburg.Alternatively, we could restore the historical March of Brandenburg, once a protective buffer for the German lords against their enemies to the east.
It has been tested successfully of a large selection of games and software, including: Minecraft, OpenMW, SeriousSam (both First and Second Encounters), RVGL (ReVolt GL), TSMC (The Secret Maryo Chronicles), TORCS, SpeedDreams, GL-117, Foobillard(plus), half life 1&2, Blender 2.68 to name just a few. I have also some success with Linux port of XNA games, using either MonoGame or FNA.
Martin Gurri's The Revolt Of The Public is from 2014, which means you might as well read the Epic of Gilgamesh. It has a second-edition-update-chapter from 2017, which might as well be Beowulf. The book is about how social-media-connected masses are revolting against elites, but the revolt has moved forward so quickly that a lot of what Gurri considers wild speculation is now obvious fact. I picked up the book on its "accurately predicted the present moment" cred, but it predicted the present moment so accurately that it's barely worth reading anymore. It might as well just say "open your eyes and look around".
In fact, I can't even really confirm whether it predicted anything accurately or not. Certainly everything it says is true. Anyone who wrote it in 2000 would have been a prophet. Anyone who wrote it in 2020 would have been stating the obvious. Was writing it in 2014 a boring chronicle of clear truths, or an achievement for the ages? I find my memories are insufficiently precise to be sure. It's like that thing where someone who warned about the coronavirus on March 1 2020 was a bold visionary, but someone who warned about it on March 20 was a conformist bandwagoner - except about the entire history of the 21st century so far. Maybe the best we can do with it is read it backwards, as an artifact of the era when the public was only ambiguously revolting, to see how the knowledge of the coming age arose and spread.
We remember the Arab Spring, those few months in 2011 when revolts spread across various Arab countries and longstanding regimes were toppled by protesters with smartphones and Twitter accounts. Gurri hits the relevant beats, but doesn't limit himself to the Middle East.
You could think of this as a mere refinement of Gurri. But it points at a deeper critique. Suppose that US left institutions are able to maintain legitimacy, because US leftists trust them as fellow warriors in the battle against rightism (and vice versa). Why couldn't one make the same argument about the old American institutions? People liked and trusted the President and Walter Cronkite and all the other bipartisan elites because they were American, and fellow warriors in the battle against Communism or terrorism or poverty or Saddam or whatever. If this is true, the change stops looking like the masses suddenly losing faith in the elites and revolting, and more like a stable system of the unified American masses trusting the unified American elites, fissioning into two stable systems of the unified (right/left) masses trusting the unified (right/left) elites. Why did the optimal stable ingroup size change from nation-sized to political-tribe-sized?
