Street Legal Racing Redline is a racing game developed by Invictus and published by Activision Value. The game was released for Windows in July 2003.
On September 9, 2014, Invictus announced via their Facebook page that the Street Legal franchise, as well as every other game Invictus had developed using that game engine was now abandonware, and the engine, along with all the art assets, were for sale.
The game takes place in Valo City (possibly a play on the word "velocity"), a metropolis known for its vast underworld of illegal street racing. The plot of the game is to beat every club and accomplish the requirements to enter the Race of Champions, a prestigious racing competition where one can win a bonus car. Players have to race others on the streets during the day for prestige (respect) or money to customize the car. During the night, players can either participate in a drag race against another driver or watch the race.
A unique feature of the game is its detailed level of customization for the vehicles. The player can buy a completely new car from the dealership, a used one from a local shop where they were already customized or even totaled, or build the car from scratch with a chassis. Unlike a traditional street racing video game, the player must manually replace each part, and these parts can get permanently lost if the car gets damaged.
Currently, there are three patches for the game: the 2.2.1 MWM (by Miran & Wichur), 2.3.0 Live Edition (by Raxat) and SLRR2015 (by Bigg Boss93, available on VStanced.com). The latest version was released on Steam and is gradually improved by the European game developer ImageCode in collaboration with Raxat.
Thousands of mods were made for this game, including vehicles, parts for said vehicles, tracks (which only work for 2.2.1 MWM), sounds, menu interfaces, and textures. Because the game is very unstable, it is highly likely to crash when too many mods are installed.
Cars in the game look similar to their real-life counterparts, but are given fictitious names. For example: Mitsubishi is called Shimutsibu, Subaru is called Ishima, Chevrolet Camaro is called MC, Volkswagen is called Einvagen, Honda is called Duhen, BMW is called Baiern, Nissan is called Emer and Dodge is called Hauler's. Depending on the version of the game, there are two prize cars: Prime DLH 500 (based on a Shelby GT500) or if 2.3.0 Live! Edition is installed, the "Furrano GTS" from its prequel. Players can buy cars from the Used Car Dealer or the New Car Dealer. Initially, players are only given enough money to buy a used car and repair it, if it was inexpensive enough.
