VISCO Collection: Neo DriftOut (2023) - Every PC Rally Game
9VISCO Collection: Neo DriftOut by QUByte Interactive / PixelHeart, 2023.
Neo DriftOut, or Neo DriftOut - New Technology (to give it it's full name) is an isometric rally arcade game running on the Neo-Geo hardware, that came out in 1996.
The game has been playable in the MAME arcade emulator for a number of years, but this version here is the one included in the VISCO Collection on Steam, which has removed the real-life car branding that the arcade had (not sure if it was officially licensed in the original arcade game or not!).
This is a high-speed, dramatic little rally game, with 6 increasingly difficult stages and a choice of cars between Toyota Celica, Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. It's good fun and a semi-sequel to the earlier top-down rally arcade game, Drift Out.
Is it worth a look as part of the VISCO collection? I think it might be ever-so-slightly less smooth than MAME, but neither run at 60fps. If you're not into emulation then sure, it's worth a look!
