4x4 Evolution, also known as 4x4 Evo, is a racing game for Sega Dreamcast as well as PC and Macintosh released in 2000 by Gathering of Developers and developed Terminal Reality.

Take 2 Interactive were set to publish a PAL version in December 2000 (at £39.99 in the UK)[3] but no such version materialised.

History

It is notable for allowing online play between all three versions at the same time, and is one of the few online-enabled games that can still be played online in the present. This Dreamcast version was a North American exclusive, despite it being advertised on European magazine ads as well as mentioned on the region's boxes of the PC and Mac releases.

Sequels and re-releases

It was followed by 4x4 EVO 2 in 2001, although this did not reach Dreamcast.
