S.C.A.R.S. is a 1998 sci-fi themed futuristic racing video game developed by Vivid Image and published by Ubi Soft for PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and Microsoft Windows.
The Story Behind S.C.A.R.S.
Here is where S.C.A.R.S. came from and how it reached the Sony PlayStation.
The title comes from Super Computer Animal Racing Simulator. Mev Dinc, who headed Vivid Image, developed a concept of cars based on wildcats and other animals, with tracks that reflected their natural habitats. Courses needed to be shortened, and as a result, many of the technical turns and obstacles were condensed, creating a much more challenging experience than they had originally planned.
As development progressed, the coders struggled with balancing the high level of detail and performance with the space limitations of the tracks. Originally, the game was going to be called Vivid Racing. Ubi Soft loved the idea, and provided some of their own graphics and sound design resources to help fill the otherwise strained team.
How S.C.A.R.S. Plays

Set in year 3000, the races are "simulations" created by supercomputers, with each supercomputer having its own car based on an animal and its own unique weapon. The nine available cars are based on: lion, elephant, rhinoceros, shark, praying mantis, scorpion, cobra, cheetah, and panther. There are 10 tracks, each with hidden shortcuts.
The power-up weapons range from turbos to shields and time bombs.
Why Players Still Load It Up

If you have a Multitap, this is almost a worthy purchase. Next Generation said of the PlayStation version in its December 1998 issue, "For all its faults, S.C.A.R.S. isn't terrible, and it is one of the few PlayStation games to allow four players to race in 3D on a split screen. The game is challenging and addicting without ever annoying the player to the point of frustration.
