Moto Racer 2 removed from GOG due to copy protection
If you downloaded Moto Racer 2 from GOG, you might be wondering how a racing game ever attracted an audience with such slow motorcycles in it. As it turns out, it's not just that you don't know how to operate a virtual motorcycle -- your bike is crippled as a result of copy protection that prevents motocross racers from shifting beyond third gear, and Superbike racers from exceeding fourth gear. After finding insidious copy protection in one of its games, the famously DRM-averse GOG has pulled Moto Racer 2 from its servers, and is offering a complimentary $5.99 credit to any Moto Racer 2 owner who complains on the site's support form. In addition, GOG is working to eliminate the problematic anti-piracy scheme, and will offer the game on its store once again when the issue is ameliorated.
Moto Racer 2, Alien Shooter available to any GOG User
Though GOG.com's DRM-free distribution methods preclude physical packaging, the two games added to the lineup this week do exactly what they say on the box. Moto Racer 2 is Delphine Software's accessible, arcade-style motorcycle hit that you may have encountered on the original PlayStation. It's available for $5.99 now and includes a track editor. Joining Moto Racer 2 is Alien Shooter, an isometric action game in which you play a photographer documenting the momentous meeting between intergalactic diplomats at an Earth-sponsored universal peace summit. Probably. That one's also available for $5.99, and comes with a soundtrack and two equally earnest expansion packs, Alien Shooter: Fight For Life and Alien Shooter: Experiment. Next week: Loot Reclaimer and Nazi Castigator.
