Well, a modding team has done something intriguing to witness as they integrate multiplayer and PC compatibility into the original Crash Team Racing.
It's surprising what the modding community can do for titles, especially when it comes to reviving them and adding new features. The latest project by a modding team focuses on bringing an online mode into the game. In a demo of the title, the players in the actual game were connected through a worldwide network, with each player in a completely different country. Surprisingly, there weren't any sort of latency issues, and the game ran perfectly.
Apart from the online play mode, the modded Crash Team Racing also supports "unofficial" compatibility with the PC platform, and the modding team utilizes DuckStation, the PS1 emulator, to do so. Moreover, the title runs at a stable 60 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay despite being a "tuned" version of a game that was released almost two decades ago. In terms of the experience itself, the modded title allows you to pair up with up to 8 players with multiple tracks and characters similar to the original game.
Well, if you are interested in checking out "Online Crash Team Racing," you can visit the dedicated website here. In order to play it on PC, you'll need to have the DuckStation emulator installed as well. Playing the title is a nostalgic experience, and with the multiplayer feature, it's definitely worth trying out.
PC players might be especially interested since they were unfortunately left out of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, the remastered version launched in 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
