I don't
think this game is abandoned yet but I wanted to make sure.
The game is a racing game called Hot Wheels World Race, it was published in 2003 by THQ.

I read the request rules before posting which is why I don't think its abandoned yet but I figured I would post and double check.
The main reason I am asking is because when you try to install the game it scans the computer's hardware to make sure it can run.
The problem is that it reports newer CPUs as "Unknown" resulting in it refusing to install.
The only way I know of to get past this is to install it on a computer that it likes, then you can simply copy it to any computer you want (no copy protection lol), which is what I did, and it runs great even on Win7 in 1600x1200 res.
Anyway, I have made lots of videos of it if anyone wants to check them out, in my opinion it is the best Hot Wheels racing game ever. To. This. Day.
