Nix is a 3D combat racing game where players try to blow each other up while racing their futuristic heaps of scrap metal to the finish line.
Players can take on the unrelenting AI opponents or go head-to-head in networked multiplayer deathmatch. The turret mounted atop your junkyard chariot of doom can deliver rapid machine gun fire, explosive rocket flak of several flavors, grenades, and proximity mines-- choose your weapon and take aim.
Racing doesn't take place on conventional tracks in Nix; getting to the next checkpoint is the goal, but how you get there is up to you.

Editor's Note:
The game was designed around 2004 as an indie game so in that category, it still is a fun little arcade throwback. It was in beta and never fully completed. It is portable so no install is needed. We were able to run it on Windows 7 (see the last screenshot where we ran it) so it should run up through 10.
