Preserving old tracks and utilities

[ThatDarnOwl]

Hi there

Over the past few years I've endeavored to try and preserve as many lost tracks for old Motocross games as possible. I was shocked at just how many were lost over the years (well into the hundreds) and have tried to reupload as many as possible to sites like Moddb and archive.org. I managed to archive all of the official Rainbow Studios maps and other stuff there.

If anyone has any leads on where to find others please let me know. I'm particularly interested in lost MCM1 tracks as I had no idea it even had any custom levels until a few years ago. I'm also looking for lost tracks for Edgar Torronteras' EXtreme Biker and Motocross Mania as those are often lost too. Esp the utilities for modding it.

I've also wanted to preserve utilities that people created separately. Things like utilities to extract the heightmap from MCM1 and ATV Offroad Fury (I remember seeing that Twisted Dirt did that in the 2000s to port levels to Motocross Madness 2)

I have an MCM 1 TRN extractor here: https://bruceatkinson.com/dirttwister/mcm1/mcm1_trn_extractor.php
There is an MCM 1 and MCM 2 track archive here: https://bruceatkinson.com/dirttwister/trackarchive/trackarchive.php

I'm going through old CD's that I have and I will be adding more as I come across them.  There are currently 177 MCM 1 tracks and 3,370 MCM 2 tracks in the archive.
