Author's Description: [Version 4: better AI, speed improvements, bugfixes]
Water Kills is my entry for the SpeedHack 1999 contest (original contest version available through my website).
It is a boat racing game, where you must reach the finish line before your opponents after passing through the track waypoints.
Main features:
- Make your own maps (they're just PCX files)
- up to 4 players, and 256 total ships :)
- Race mode, clock mode, training mode
- keyboard, mouse, joystick (latter untested)
- any resolution or color depth
- and a nice water effect

In particular, Speed is the hottest one of the bunch, really worth a look...

• 4It says completed, but feels like pre-alpha. This could become a fun little racing game, but needs more work. It doesn't compile with latest Allegro/MinGW. The camera/ top speed combo makes it very hard to keep on course, and the sound when you hit something made my ears bleed.
