'''Re-Volt''' is a 1999 radio controlled car racing game, developed published by the now defunct [[Wikipedia:Acclaim Entertainment|Acclaim Entertainment]] for the [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]] platform. Produced for pre-NT versions of Windows, Re-Volt is not, in its basic form, compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, however, there are a multitude of fan fixes available to aid running the game on a modern system.

Because both the developer and publisher of Re-Volt (Acclaim) is now defunct, the game is now classed as [[Wikipedia:abandonware|abandonware]], and can be freely downloaded on the internet.

It is preferable to possess an original version of the game, as it is currently the only way to secure the original soundtrack legally, as, unlike the game, it remains under copyright protection.
