          The original Trackmania game came out in 2003 and contained 3 environments with different cars: Snow, Rally, and Desert.

          The latest Trackmania game came out in 2020 and as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the original game they have been adding the old cars from the original game into the latest game.

              Sorry I should have said 2003, it came out in November of that year and this is supposed to be a yearlong celebration of Trackmania. The earliest game most people have experience with was TMNF/TMUF which came out in 2008 and United does include all the old cars so maybe that is your reference date?

    I don’t get it. Is it a new graphics update for the original game or for 1/3 of the original trilogy? Is it a new timesheet for current trackmania? Is it a new title?

    I loved the original dessert, it was easily my favorite of the first environments.

        Thanks! …and bummer. I’m not a fan of this iteration. Liked the crazy, almost photoreal style of earlier ones. The minimalist to-the-point aesthetic of 2020 one feels too utilitarian to me.

          I guess that the devs needed to strike a balance between the old style and making sure it fits with the current style since I think you can combine tiles from all themes in a single map.
