I remember the earlier version of TrackMania. Really fun game.

My brother and I always got together on a track filled with Dutchies (fun guaranteed), after each game I commented that "this time i'm gonna play it tactically" over and over again which drove those Dutchies crazy cause it absolutely doesn't make any sense images/smilies/lol.gif

Anyhows, I also remember that game to be some sort of malware/spyware IIRC, but maybe that's behind us now?

It had StarForce, which is the embodiment of all that is wrong/bad/evil with copy protection.

As far as I know, this version does not.

Yeah got it Wednesday, good fun. Some of the user created tracks are awesome.
It doesn't have Starforce in this version.

Great dowonload. It's a shame my computer won't run the game smoothly enough. I bought Trackmania Sunrise when it was released (And yes! This one had the Starforce copy protection) and it's still one of those games I never get tired of playing.
