I had never heard of 1995 PC racing game Screamer before developer Milestone announced a modern revival, but after checking out the teaser trailer at The Game Awards 2024 and the scant bits of info in the first press release for the upcoming reimagining, I'm absolutely obsessed.
The original Screamer was a pretty straightforward arcade racing game, often billed as PC gaming's answer to Ridge Racer. It reviewed well at the time, but it was probably most notable as an early title that required a Pentium processor - a reminder that the PC upgrade arms race was already in full effect back in the '90s. These days, it's a lot easier to play thanks to GOG.
