You might have to change the dipswitch settings on your motherboard for it to work with a vga card instead of the default Hercules/monochrome (whatever is installed, hard to tell with the pictures).

You could try Cardware 7.00 or one of the Dos point enablers from https://tssc.de/ Another option would be a usb/cf adapter under 2000.

The first Screamer is way more similar in handling to Ridge Racer than the sequels which are more arcade rally. There's also Speed Haste, I vaguely recall getting nauseous while playing it, the fov maybe... If you're into karting, there's SuperKarts too. You liked Burnout, did you ever play the …
