TrackMania, one of the most popular online racing games, is celebrating its fifth "Birthday" with a unique new video retrospective. The new video showcases some of TrackMania's history and also a few aspects that continue to make it one of the most unique games in the video game landscape.

A brief but rich history is illustrated in this nearly four-minute-long trailer. In this video, we discover the genesis of Nadeo's fantastic racing title, its different iterations, the breaking of a world record, smiles, competition, stunts and a lot of creativity. "Play, Create and Share" was the motto of the game early on, and a promise we made to gamer, and this promise has been met -- and is now the foundation of a community composed of millions of players.

I spent some time with friends in France who play this game every night. EVERY NIGHT for YEARS! When I was speaking with them, they were DYING for the DS version so they could play on the train too.

Can't get enough.

Edit: I am led to believe there is a free version as well. True?

Yeah, there's a free version available on Steam. I'll add that to the OP.

I had quite a bit of fun with the free version of this available on steam. You can race with friends, so if anyone is interested in racing..hit me up on steam.

I have TM Nations Forever on Steam, and I really like it. Unfortunately it doesn't like my system, so it crashes quite a bit. Not really the fault of the game, as I'm running Steam on a Mac through a heavily modified version of Windows.

Still, TM is a great game, and the developers deserve massive kudos for their accomplishments.
