This is a fast paced vehicular combat racing game from Bullfrog, using the same engine as their Magic Carpet game.

The game is noted for it’s wide tracks, giving the game a far greater feeling of movement for it’s players, it also moves at an extremely fast pace.

The game came into existence as EA were pressurising Bullfrog to produce their Dungeon Keeper game in just six weeks, Peter Molyneux decided he did not want to sacrifice the quality of that game, so set about giving EA another game to publish in the mean time.

Hi Octane was completed in only a few short weeks, giving Bullfrog breathing space to finish Dungeon Keeper to the standard they wanted,

Hi Octane was to suffer in the market place for it’s similarity to Wipeout, especially the PlayStation version, extra tracks were added to the Saturn and PC versions to try and bolster sales of those ports.
