01
Overview
Developed by Acclaim Studios London, Re-Volt casts players as drivers of small RC cars in a world of full-size locations. Courses run through museums, steamships, supermarkets, and construction sites, where scale contrasts drive the sense of speed. Races include random weapon pickups, while tournament results unlock additional cars and tracks.
02
Why it matters
On Nintendo 64, Re-Volt offered an accessible arcade racer with a distinct miniature-vehicle conceit and a light competitive edge. Its N64 release sits among a set of platform versions that appeared around the same period, including Windows, PlayStation, and later Dreamcast.
03
The physical edition
A typical complete copy pairs the Nintendo 64 cartridge with its outer box, instruction manual, and publisher inserts, and the exact contents can differ by region and release. Regional editions may also include a poster, registration card, or consumer information booklet, so check the specific item being offered rather than assuming every copy matches.

Playing it today
Re-Volt runs on standard Nintendo 64 hardware and supports up to four local players, with Controller Pak saves for the single-player progression. Multiplayer races work with up to four controllers connected to the console's controller ports.
