History

This site right here, was a project aimed at initially restoring online play for this game. Over time thanks to a number of people it has become much more than that, and currently maintains this game.

Originally it was planned to keep expanding the game (4x4 Evolution: Revival), however that project is now on hold indefinitely in the interest of maintaining the community.

"Metal Crush 4" A sequel with a checkered history: Gone is the license for Ford, but with it came Jeep instead. Physics were overhauled, a real working winch, per polygon collisions, and adventure modes were added. Several versions came out with different levels of updates.

It also spawned a number of standalone promotional demos for Jeep, with further physics enhancements that didn't quite make the final cut.

"Metal Crush 3" The original "Gran Turismo" of offroad racing. Included an unprecedented amount of licensed trucks. Included further refined graphics, physics, console ports, and had fully integrated multiplayer services.

Notable Milestones:
-Cross platform play (Dreamcast/PC)
-Probably the first game to support console downloadable content allowing for custom tracks to be downloaded
-Racing game with native support for modifications
