A Screenshot of the GSA Re-Volt Room...

Game Spy Arcade was the second largest online gaming lobby to allow online play of Re-Volt. It shutdown May 31, 2014 and had been largely replaced by RVHouse by 2008.[1] Prior to Game Spy Arcade, many users had been using MSN Gaming Zone until it's fall in 2004. RVHouse is the modern open-source gaming lobby replacement for both defunct proprietary programs.

Re-Volt Room[]

The Re-Volt Room in GameSpy Arcade would appear after having installed the game, or by adding it manually via a setting in Game Spy Arcade.

Clicking on the room would allow you to download a few files from FilePlanet concering the game, as well as join the multiplayer lobby.

Phoenix R3[]

In order to revive this once popular method of playing the game, Phoenix R3 had the option to play Full Custom tracks in multiplayer through GameSpy Arcade.

The re-launch trick[]

Sometimes when the host launched the game, users that were using misconfigured firewall settings would fail to connect to the waiting room of Re-volt. In this case the host could use use the keys 'Control + Escape' to return to the GameSpy room without exiting the game. The host could then press the 'Launch' button again and the players that were unable to connect the first time were given a second chance.
