Wadi Basher 4x4 is a game commissioned by Imaginations, a UAE-based publisher related to Cellucom mobile company. It was developed by various independent developers, including Mere Mortals Ltd. from the UK, a group of Polish developers and the Italian music studio providing soundtrack. It was supposedly released in the Gulf region and later licensed to Play Publishing for the Visegrad countries.

The game itself has 4 licensed vehicles (Arabs certainly had money for those fees), and 10 tracks. The gameplay is far from revolutionary and engine from GarageGames is quite obsolete, but the gameplay is modestly fun. The weirdest part of the game is, I kid you not, suicide bomber terrorist goats as enemies. For a game sold in the Gulf. But according to Khaleej Times article it was definitely sold in there, perhaps enjoying some level of controversy...
