Fond memories of an old Rockstar game

While going through my files, clearing out space and trying to understand where the cruft really was (hidden files), in advance of possibly purchasing a Synology device to start regular backing-up all my important documents, I found some interesting tidbits from days past. One of them is Wild Metal Country, a PC game created by Rockstar of GTA fame. For several years, this game, along with GTA 1 and 2, were available online from the Rockstar website, but not anymore.This is supposed to be the first game without a set storyline, just like GTA, except this one comes with you as a mech on an alien planet, killing other robots of a variety of shapes and sizes in search of cores. You have a choice of six-odd different vehicles to control, including low profile, three-wheeled, and one-big-wheeled. You have 9 different armaments, including guided missiles, mini-nukes, and bouncing bombs. There are three main areas with a boss level. The config file can be hacked to change your armaments to be infinite, and that's how I got through areas 2 & 3. The zip file can be downloaded here. You might need to use a wired mouse and keyboard to play it.

Tips: Your speed can also be hacked. My top speed in game is ~400 km/h before my vehicle exploded do to friction.
