@@Soliye. i still think that TMUF was one of the best games. After Maniaplanet. After playing a bit of TM2020 and trying the builder. i don't think i like it very much at all.
What also was unique is that the map editor had limited amount of stuff you could place, and every medal you got in singleplayer increased the max limit you could place.
Wow, just wow. This is the game I played roughly 17-20 years ago. Some neighbour installed it. I was around 6-7 at time with no knowleadge of english. I never knew what game it was but I always wanted to find it again. For the past 3 years I've been watching Wirtual and Trackmania community suspecting nothing. The moment i saw this video it all came back! Kinda ironic that I've been watching the game i was looking for a long time already. Thank you Wirtual and thank you Trackmania community for everything you do.
I just want to say Wirt, I have never played a Trackmania game in my life, but I absolutely love your content. Perfect way to get home from work and just chill on the couch. Thank you for what you do.
Professionally working Nadeo mapper 20 years ago: sweating for hours to set some crazy map records Some random slippery mayonnaise boi in the future hosting his own live show to thousands of viewers while casually breaking every single record as he simultaneously theorizes about the internal ramp theory of the Egyptian pyramids:
Some random guy casually passing by Nadeo's building 20 years ago : sets some track records on a crappy PC just for fun Professional top tier 2024 gamer with analogue keyboard and high-end gaming PC : has to reset the tracks 3 to 10 times to get the author time, has to set precise analogue values in order to be able to do a basic turn to beat the record
I remember getting this game in 2003 for Christmas. I was a massive fan of Stunts game. I spent days building weird tracks and then sharing them to my friends by burning a collection of maps on a CD. I just... and that soundtrack... that goddamn soundtrack
Me too. This is so similar to Stunts. Definitely the predecessor to Trackmania. I spent so much time with Stunts building track and commically trying to jump over the sides of the map to reach the scenery. My 8 year old self thought the scenery in the background was reachable if only I could make a jump high enough to get over the bounderies of the maps. HAHA! Games were magical back then!
Play through all the trackmania games! I got to see coverage of all the other games and a little studying of tricks that people have learned throug the years in each car and environment throughout the series!
i think i speak for a lot of us when i say that i'd love to see you play through the old trackmania campaigns! sure, it would be a long project to undertake, but it's always extremely interesting to see a good player and important content creator revisit the old installments in the series! it would be fun to see your reactions to the old nadeo maps and see how your skills compare against these now decades-old games. i think you should go for it!!
My god the memories... I've not played most TrackMania games released over the years, but if they are actually putting more of this OG stuff into TM2020 I will definitely go hard on that finally. Stadium just isn't my thing 😅
Rally is coming in April, Desert is coming in July, so we'll have remakes of old campaigns in TM2020, and track using three or four environments at once, it's going to be very fun.
This brings me back to my TMUF days. I absolutely loved all the different environments and the challenges they all brought. I think playing through TMUF and its star campaign would be a good challenge that we'd enjoy watching!
Bruh those aren't evne that old, it's TMO and Sunrise that need more attention. Island is still the best environment to date if you ask me, the physics are just right
Next: Play TMUF as I’m considering buying it on Steam. I currently have TM2020 (or as I like to call it w/ Snow, and soon to be Rally and Desert; TMU2023), and TMNF and want to expand my arsenal of TM games.
This brings back so many fond memories and im all here for it. I'd really like to see you play through alll the trackmania games. That would be a massive but such a cool project.
This is the real Trackmania. Glad to see it alive ^^ I've never played a lot of Trackmania myself beside this original version. So I'm very happy to see you play it and hope to see a bit more. especially the Snow- and Castle-Environment. (Always felt the canyon-part a bit off with the car being sooo wobbly. ^^)
Full playthrough of every TM would actually be so cool. A lot of older trackmanias that I don't necessarily want to play myself but I've wanted to watch them, but all the videos are so incredibly old and with terrible graphics/sound
What a trip down memory lane. I can't believe this game released 20 years ago. I used to play ESL on Snow and Rally back in the day. Even though our team wasn't top tier by any means, it was an insanely fun time.
15:23 The whole ordeal with analog keyboards vs controllers and digital keyboards thing really reminds me of the hitbox vs controllers and fightsticks argument in the fighting game scene. It might be interesting how this sort of problem is tackled in different contexts.
I love Trackmania sunrise. The soundtrack is also unforgettable. I feel like it was really different from today's trackmania but it was really something special: speed, colours, overall impressions. How do you say it? That game really had character. I've already overpraised the game. I hope I'm not the only one who feels the same way about this game.
Yeah, the original two Trackmanias (Original and Sunrise) had character that United lost imo. It was a pretty dissapointing combination of the three games (it only improved upon Nations ESWC as that game was basically barebones with only a race mode).
1:50 "You can beat every author medal on keyboard" From my experience, you can't (at least not an old school one). I did every Race Author Medal on Sunrise, but not on Original. I don't remember which tracks were a problem because I lost my old profile on my old PC (think the Rally ones were easiest surprisingly). Doesn't help that there are no Author Medal Ghosts like there are in Sunrise.
I would gladly watch you play through all the TM games honestly. I know there's just so many of them that I'd love to see but I don't really see myself actually playing them all
Okay so we’re talking about a TM game from 2003, yeah? I’ve been playing World of Warcraft since it came out in 2004. Never in my entire life would I think that the two would cross over, but here I am with a man in Wirtual’s chat jokingly asking about the difficulty of Tindral Sageswift in the RWF (race for world first) for the current WoW raid that just came out recently. What a crossover.
I disagree with the statement about DXtweak. Some people use it, but not the majority. As for it being allowed, that was a topic of many hot debates, but ultimately: how can you control it?
"When i asked my dad when i had Grand Turismo at home ?", he says to me : NO, i have *T R A C K M A N I A*. It was 2004, i was happy to enjoy this game, now that i know that, i feel old, bcz the first trackmania released 20 years ago, i am 25. Happy birthday Trackmania, happy birthday me, i leave this here as a checkpoint for me later
This is what got me into TM - and I'm sure I have the discs still somewhere. I tried the latest version because of you, Wirtual. I guess being 50 I'm just too slow now, lol!
I got Turbo on xbox and IMO in some ways it's more fun than 2020. I challenge you to get the Canyon Drift level 2 author medal with a controller. I've only gotten to 36.03, Author is 35.59.
It must've been TM Original that had the platform & stunt modes, visually very similar to this one. That was awesome back then, maybe you could play that one?
Wirt getting AT on the second attempt is kind of like in racing movies where the main character is losing so they just start... driving faster? Like its a race... If you could go faster why didn't you start with that?
This game didn't have any airbraking at the time, i think when they updated the game to the united engine they added airbraking to all the vehicles, might also have been the TMO upgrade.
og trackmania... goddamn. i have trackmania original and trackmania united forever is still on the shelf. i took trackmania² sell out to ubisoft as treason. i hated ubisoft then, and i still do. never made the switch over.
6:39 granady did this about a year ago and theres like 100s of hours of footage that hes uploading to youtube as we speak(TMO is already uploaded to his second channel and more to come)
I think you should definitely play through all the old Trackmania games, at least the bigger ones. You don't need to 100% everything in them, just get gold or author on every campaign map
"What's kinda insane is, even in 2003 they had a replay system." I'd like to point out that "Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit" allowed you to save replays and ghosts back in 1998. >.>
this is THE racing game for me, my father has a hard copy if it and got it installed on an old thinkpad in his workshop since forever and i always felt super smug about having all gold medals, never knew game had authors tho.
Aaah its beatiful! Its such a huge trowback into my childhood to see this game again. And im realizing that its truly 20 years ago ive played this game the first time - holymoly! also its fun to see the "newer" audience having fun with the first trackmania. =] Especially that sound crashing into a metal object with the desert car - ahh that was some fine audiodesign =D
I’d love to see you play through each game also have you tried other racing games? My first was need for speed carbon it’s so fun and cheesy but the races were fantastic while also having such incredible car customization.
man, something I REALLY OH SO VERY MUCH miss from old driving games is the fact that most of em had sooo many guitar songs and riffs and licks in em, now it's just kind of the same generic silence or boring background music, meanwhile this game makes your little 4 yo self lose his shit over the fact that they're doing this long ass guitar solo just because of how good you did driving a track
one of the memories, Saturday evening, wife, best friend, and Trackmania until Monday morning, and then everyone went to work, haven't played since then
Man this was my first proper 3D game I ever got to play on my own PC. So cool to see it again. The Snow soundtrack was absolute fire, I even had it on my offbrand mp3 player.
About analog keyboards: I completely agree with Wirtual that Trackmania is going backwards in disallowing it. In every other competitive game, it's not banned. I've used analog keyboard tech in OW and pro players don't cry that it's unfair, they go "that's cool, how do you do it?".
Trackmania Original was hugely influential on me when I played it as a kid. Got me hooked on the franchise immediately. And I kinda miss the times when they were campaign-based releases rather than the eternal subscription-based esports version we got now. Anyway, you need to check out/revisit Trackmania Sunrise as well. It's an absolute crime that the environments from that have been forgotten.
I've been using a Razer Tartarus Pro with optical analog switches for many years now. Analog controls in every game just make it 10000000X as immersive to me. Walking without needing to press a walk button, and being able to set my surrounding keys to multiple things. The Tartarus allows you to set different key presses at different depths, so I have some set to have one keypress in a certain range, then a second one only when the switch bottoms out, sorta like the gamecube/steam controller triggers.
Holy i remember this game, this game was sooooo nice back in the days, i remember playing it with my dad, which is the only game he ever played and enjoyed.... Good ol days
I still have a copy of the original game factory sealed. (They accidently sent me two copies when I ordered it back in the day. And none of my friends wanted it. Their loss.)
It'd be really cool if you played through every TM game, I think a lot of us have never seen most of them
i remember playing a lot of them. i missed DS, WII, and nations.
i really want to see him play sunrise extreme!
@@xt3100 The Wii one was the best, with the highways and sport cars
i agree, ive only ever played trackmania turbo
@@Soliye. i still think that TMUF was one of the best games. After Maniaplanet. After playing a bit of TM2020 and trying the builder. i don't think i like it very much at all.
What also was unique is that the map editor had limited amount of stuff you could place, and every medal you got in singleplayer increased the max limit you could place.
Yeah, that part sucked though hahaha
Did they remove that for Trackmania Sunrise?
Wow, just wow. This is the game I played roughly 17-20 years ago. Some neighbour installed it. I was around 6-7 at time with no knowleadge of english. I never knew what game it was but I always wanted to find it again. For the past 3 years I've been watching Wirtual and Trackmania community suspecting nothing. The moment i saw this video it all came back! Kinda ironic that I've been watching the game i was looking for a long time already. Thank you Wirtual and thank you Trackmania community for everything you do.
Wholesome story
I have a similar memory, being introduced to it by a friend at 8 years old, that's 19 years ago now
Day three of asking wirtual to slide in mayonnaise
“Slide to the left”
"Slide to the Right"
‘’Criss cross’’
“Criss Cross”
"Everybody clap your hands"
I just want to say Wirt, I have never played a Trackmania game in my life, but I absolutely love your content. Perfect way to get home from work and just chill on the couch. Thank you for what you do.
Newest one is free, give it a try
@@go-away-5555 TMNF is free too and fantastic
@@go-away-5555TMNF is also free on Steam and very worthwhile
100th like, do it >:)
This was the first and only track mania game I played, and I didn't remember it existing until I saw your videos 3 years ago
It'd be fantastic to see Wirtual go through the Sunrise maps (or United maps of the sunrise envis)

"That's an instant author medal," says Wirtual, after resetting twice and changing the settings of his analog keyboard once.

I mostly want to see you play all the non-stadium environments, especially Island and Bay
This! Island is the best!
i prob made over 400 tracks for this game as a kid lol
Play through all the trackmania games! I got to see coverage of all the other games and a little studying of tricks that people have learned throug the years in each car and environment throughout the series!
i think i speak for a lot of us when i say that i'd love to see you play through the old trackmania campaigns!
sure, it would be a long project to undertake, but it's always extremely interesting to see a good player and important content creator revisit the old installments in the series! it would be fun to see your reactions to the old nadeo maps and see how your skills compare against these now decades-old games.
i think you should go for it!!
watching you play every TM game sounds awesome
ohhh so that's where the new car came from in tm2020
My god the memories... I've not played most TrackMania games released over the years, but if they are actually putting more of this OG stuff into TM2020 I will definitely go hard on that finally. Stadium just isn't my thing 😅

This brings me back to my TMUF days. I absolutely loved all the different environments and the challenges they all brought.
I think playing through TMUF and its star campaign would be a good challenge that we'd enjoy watching!
You should totally play through all the old games. People NEED to see Canyon, Valley, and Lagoon!
Bruh those aren't evne that old, it's TMO and Sunrise that need more attention. Island is still the best environment to date if you ask me, the physics are just right
Next: Play TMUF as I’m considering buying it on Steam. I currently have TM2020 (or as I like to call it w/ Snow, and soon to be Rally and Desert; TMU2023), and TMNF and want to expand my arsenal of TM games.

Oh yess! i would love to see you play all the trackmania games. my favorite was sunrise extreme, so many memories!
15:23 The whole ordeal with analog keyboards vs controllers and digital keyboards thing really reminds me of the hitbox vs controllers and fightsticks argument in the fighting game scene. It might be interesting how this sort of problem is tackled in different contexts.
it's usually tackled by using switching between a controller's analog stick and dpad depending on what the situation requires
Still waiting for Wirtual to play TM Wii along with the 2 DS games
I don't think you should play thru all of them in one go. But over time it could become an awesome series on the channel for a while!
a long-haul project would be really cool wirtual! A long standing series of you playing through all the games would be pretty chill
Wirtual "I'm faster..."
Someone in chat: "Hi faster"
I love Trackmania sunrise. The soundtrack is also unforgettable. I feel like it was really different from today's trackmania but it was really something special: speed, colours, overall impressions. How do you say it? That game really had character. I've already overpraised the game. I hope I'm not the only one who feels the same way about this game.

This came witha demo back then that I played to DEATH! And then I got the full version for my birthday and played a hell of a lot more. Good times!
Nooooo, ended way too soon. I was waiting to See the "real" ice-maps. They were wild!
2 Wirtual vids, 1 day????
YES PLEASE
1:50 "You can beat every author medal on keyboard"
From my experience, you can't (at least not an old school one). I did every Race Author Medal on Sunrise, but not on Original.

10:23 Wait, the first TrackMania had car destruction?
I would gladly watch you play through all the TM games honestly.
I know there's just so many of them that I'd love to see but I don't really see myself actually playing them all
That one guy in chat... He was -4 when Trackmania first launched. Oh boy... I'm in my 30s and feel really conscious about it right about now.
Okay so we’re talking about a TM game from 2003, yeah?
I’ve been playing World of Warcraft since it came out in 2004.

What a crossover.
Same bro that caught me so off guard and Wirt has no clue lmao
I disagree with the statement about DXtweak. Some people use it, but not the majority.
As for it being allowed, that was a topic of many hot debates, but ultimately: how can you control it?
I’d love to see Wirtusl play through all of the TM games. Would be nice to see the evolution of the game series.
This has such a Unity3D feel to it, but it can't be if it was released in 2003, since the first version of Unity3D was released in 2005.
TMO is the game that got me into this franchise, I really wish it got more attention, I find it a lot more enjoyable than the more modern stadium crap
"When i asked my dad when i had Grand Turismo at home ?", he says to me : NO, i have *T R A C K M A N I A*.
It was 2004, i was happy to enjoy this game, now that i know that, i feel old, bcz the first trackmania released 20 years ago, i am 25.

It must've been TM Original that had the platform & stunt modes, visually very similar to this one. That was awesome back then, maybe you could play that one?
Playing the games, especially in release order would be really cool!
Wirt getting AT on the second attempt is kind of like in racing movies where the main character is losing so they just start... driving faster? Like its a race... If you could go faster why didn't you start with that?
It's crazy to see how much trackmania has changed. This feels like a weird mobile knock off of trackmania (no disrespect to people who like it)
it’s fun to see wirtual play different racing games. i vote Hill Climb Racing or maybe a little Garfield Kart next.
This game didn't have any airbraking at the time, i think when they updated the game to the united engine they added airbraking to all the vehicles, might also have been the TMO upgrade.
og trackmania... goddamn. i have trackmania original and trackmania united forever is still on the shelf.
i took trackmania² sell out to ubisoft as treason. i hated ubisoft then, and i still do. never made the switch over.
one of my graphic cards came with a CD for some trackmania game, prob mid-2000s (stadium?).
You think the Rally car is bad... try the Coast car in Sunrise and United!
Hey, uh is a Top 1 national in the LaserHawk campaign good? I'm in Scotland BTW if that helps
6:39
granady did this about a year ago and theres like 100s of hours of footage that hes uploading to youtube as we speak(TMO is already uploaded to his second channel and more to come)
When coast and island is added down the line the maps get super nice to look at
Sunrise was a huge visual upgrade over the original. That's still the classic Trackmania of my memories.
I think you should definitely play through all the old Trackmania games, at least the bigger ones. You don't need to 100% everything in them, just get gold or author on every campaign map
"What's kinda insane is, even in 2003 they had a replay system."
I'd like to point out that "Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit" allowed you to save replays and ghosts back in 1998. >.>
I have Need For Speed 2 SE :D
way cooler than modern trackmania
This was honestly so comfy to fall asleep to
«Even in 2003 they had a replay system» really callin out valorant here wirtual😂😂
this is THE racing game for me, my father has a hard copy if it and got it installed on an old thinkpad in his workshop since forever and i always felt super smug about having all gold medals, never knew game had authors tho.
I remember the Penny Arcade guys loving this game when it came out. That's what got me in to it.
The various environments of the TrackMania 2 (game? games?) please.
Aaah its beatiful!
Its such a huge trowback into my childhood to see this game again. And im realizing that its truly 20 years ago ive played this game the first time - holymoly!
also its fun to see the "newer" audience having fun with the first trackmania. =]
Especially that sound crashing into a metal object with the desert car - ahh that was some fine audiodesign =D
okay why is the sountrack and the guitar riff better than TM2020
I would really enjoy seeing a full playtrough of all tm games, especially turbo with the supertrackmaster medals
I have come to notice, wirtual is a man who tilts when playing racing games
It is subtle but watch his head
Takes me back to my days of beta testing TM: Power Up *sighs in nostalgia*.
It'd be cool to see you play different environments more often
I enjoy the fact they kept the same font for the timer checkpoint across all games.
first i played was trackmania ewsc - now im playing again and its all your fault :)
I'd love to watch a full TM Sunrise playthrough
I LOVE the guitar/rock soundtrack in this game.
we would love to see a full playthrough
I’d love to see you play through each game also have you tried other racing games? My first was need for speed carbon it’s so fun and cheesy but the races were fantastic while also having such incredible car customization.
If Wirtual thinks having a replay system in 2003 is insane, wait until he finds out about Doom..
I'd be very interested in a marathon through the various TMs
Wirtual’s approximation of a southwest American accent is killing me
FR tho TIndral Sageswift did need some nerfs
7:35 - Ah yes that wonderful American landmark of nature: "The Great Canyons"
If you play through every Trackmania game you also have to play the one on the Nintendo DS. That would be hilarious (all 3 pixels of it)
man, something I REALLY OH SO VERY MUCH miss from old driving games is the fact that most of em had sooo many guitar songs and riffs and licks in em, now it's just kind of the same generic silence or boring background music, meanwhile this game makes your little 4 yo self lose his shit over the fact that they're doing this long ass guitar solo just because of how good you did driving a track
This and Sunrise were just awesome back than
one of the memories, Saturday evening, wife, best friend, and Trackmania until Monday morning, and then everyone went to work, haven't played since then
First Trackmania was the best of all❤❤❤❤❤❤
Man this was my first proper 3D game I ever got to play on my own PC. So cool to see it again. The Snow soundtrack was absolute fire, I even had it on my offbrand mp3 player.
About analog keyboards: I completely agree with Wirtual that Trackmania is going backwards in disallowing it. In every other competitive game, it's not banned. I've used analog keyboard tech in OW and pro players don't cry that it's unfair, they go "that's cool, how do you do it?".
WAIT GUYS
THE SOUNDTRACK USES MODULES
*_TRACKER_* MODULES
tbh "TrackMania" would've been a really cool tracker name back then.
Going over previous trackmania games would be super interesting, as well as showcasing what makeds them different and how top play looks like.
Trackmania Original was hugely influential on me when I played it as a kid. Got me hooked on the franchise immediately. And I kinda miss the times when they were campaign-based releases rather than the eternal subscription-based esports version we got now.
Anyway, you need to check out/revisit Trackmania Sunrise as well. It's an absolute crime that the environments from that have been forgotten.
Trackmania DS next!!

I remember well playing this on LAN parties back in the day. That desert car and the asphalt on stilts IS trackmania for me.
Holy i remember this game, this game was sooooo nice back in the days, i remember playing it with my dad, which is the only game he ever played and enjoyed.... Good ol days
I still have a copy of the original game factory sealed. (They accidently sent me two copies when I ordered it back in the day. And none of my friends wanted it. Their loss.)
I'm younger than Trackmania, but older than Half-Life 2 :)
