Hi everyone. I have been looking for this game for the past few years and recently had a bit of of a breakthrough thanks to someone on Mastodon being able to find a screenshot.

I downloaded Smiley Racer True and Smiley Royal Rumble from dosgames.com in 1999 both games where listed in the Miscellaneous section and the page was archived by the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/19991111165233/ht … :80/g_misc.html

The screenshot for Smiley Racer resulted in a 404, but there is a screenshot for Smiley Royal Rumble:

Smiley Racer True was described as:

This racing game is more of a simple simulation than an actual racing game. Basically you select your racers and watch as they race around the track. There are several options you can set. The game features simple ANSI graphic characters (hence "Smiley") and no sound ... but it might be fun as a party game where you bet on who's going to win!

Smiley Royal Rumble was described as:

This pseudo-simulation "game" is quite similar to Smiley Racer True above. It features fewer customization options, but it seems more interesting to watch smileys duke it out instead of racing around a track.

Unfortunately the wayback machine hasn't archived the download source http://www.redrival.com/mallo and that hosting provider is no longer in business.

I know the zip files for both where called SmileyRacerTrue.zip and SmileyRoyalRumble.zip but beyond that I am at a loss.

Does anyone remember these? Where do you recommend I look next?
