Saw it on TechTV. Plays awesome on my Pismo 500/256 in OSX. Haven't tried it on OS9 yet.

It's hard has hell, though.. I can't get past the 1st heat.

Yeah, runs great here, too (DP450/Radeon).

It's only hard 'cause it's one of those games that just won't work right on anything but a game pad. All three-dimensional racing games are like that -- you just can't control it well enough with the keyboard or a mouse.

By "first heat," do you mean the Canadian cup or just the first race? I got past the first two races, but I can't even finish the third one in under time, let alone get all the fish (my best time is about 1 second over the limit and that was a really, really good race).
The 4 o'clock train will be a bus.
It will depart at 20 minutes to 5.

i mean first race when i said "first heat".. i can get all 23 fish but not do it under teh alotted time. when i do the flipper like a madman, i can get in under the time but can't get the fishies that you have to get as you turn.. oh well - i might have to get a gamepad or change views or something. i kick butt on playstation gran turismo when i'm in front of the car. but when i'm doing the birds-eye i suck.

there's alot of controls in tuxracer - i didn't know it until i opened up the config file (it's text). check it out.
