Payback is a video game developed and published by Apex Designs. It was first released in 2001, and was the predecessor to Payback 2.
Tyler is the one that participates mostly in racing events. On the other hand, Mac is helping to transport important VIPs and packages, too. Jess is more involved in off-road racing and drifting challenges,too. You must know that Need for Speed Payback.
History[edit]
It was originally one fan's project to make an Amiga clone of Grand Theft Auto. In the author's own words, 'every effort has been made to ensure that Payback beats GTA in every way.'
The game was eventually expanded into a commercial release, and in 2002 Apex Designs announced plans to bring it to Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and the Game Boy Advance (GBA). The Mac version was speedily released, but there is still no word on the Windows version's released date. A version for the GP2X handheld has since been released.
Despite the game being a clone of GTA, even copying car names such as the 'Mundaneo', Rockstar has made no attempt to stop Apex Designs from publishing this game, or warn them about infringing on their copyrighted materials.
The GBA version was also finished, but Apex Designs couldn't initially find a publisher. After numerous failed attempts to get it published, it was not until late 2004 that DSI Games finally picked up the game.
An iOS version of Payback was announced on December 29, 2008 and released on January 28, 2009. It contains all the features of the GP2X version. The developers announced that it was going to be released on January 15; however due to a bug, it was pushed back to January 28. A behind-the-scenes report is listed on their website.
A sequel to Payback, Payback 2 for iOS and Android devices, was released on 4th October 2012
Gameplay[edit]
The game is similar in gameplay to the original GTA, with new camera angles and more weapons being obvious differences. The player can use shotguns grenades, as well as weapons such as remote controlled cars carrying explosives.
The game also supports four-player multiplayerdeathmatch.
The game features a full 3Dgame engine with area-of-effect explosions and complex car handling. Skid marks can be seen clearly, and vehicles smoke when heavily damaged. The intro is converted from an AVI movie, and is one of the most complicated examples of GBA movie footage outside of the Game Boy Advance Video releases. The game is considered a benchmark of the GBA's capabilities, and few games before it had featured such a complex 3D engine.
It features eleven cities in the Game Boy Advance version.
Additional content[edit]
The Amiga version allowed fans to make their own deathmatch maps (see the link below). These cannot be added into the GBA version, but a slightly modified 'Isla Nublar' map is featured as an unlockable bonus.

About This Game:
Need for Speed Payback is a racing game set in an open world environment of Fortune Valley. It is focused on «action driving» and has three playable characters (each with different sets of skills) working together to pull off action movie like sequences. In contrast with the previous game, it also features a 24-hour day-night cycle. Unlike the 2015 Need for Speed reboot, Payback includes an offline single-player mode.
