Description: This
is the first of the race and shoot em up type games
that have been made which later kicked off many
other games similar like death rally, streets of
sim city, interstate 76 and many others. Basically
you choose between 3 cars which are just cleverly
disguised peformance cars like the Diablo and the
XJ220, which have there strengths and weaknesses
e.g armor, speed. You then take this car and kit
it up with machine guns, terminators (Rockets on
skateboards), missiles, chunky spikey bullbar thingys
and from the parts department you can upgrade things
like tires to engines to armor to airofiols. Then
you GO RACING! Heres a blurb from the box...
"WHAT IF EVERYONE ON
THE ROAD HAD WEAPONS?
Hurtling through the turn, you lock-on to the lead
car and fire. In less than a second, your Falcon
missile slams into the target and explodes in a
ball of fire. You smile to yourself he was a good
assassin, but a lousy driver. Instantly, your radar
detects a terminator bearing down on your exhaust.
You swerve, but it’s too late. Another small mistake
ends a brief career on the Death Track yours.
IntheHotSeat
Race through hairpin curves and over monster jumps
on 10 tracks in 10 cities. 3D solid graphics, true
up and down motion and realistic explosions.
Muscle Cars That Pack A Punch.
It's a jetfighter on wheels. Soup it up with a custom
trans, airfoils, super-charged engine, then arm
it to the teeth.
They’ve never been to the
DMV.
America's most wanted are on the circuit, with a
colorful rap sheet and plenly of ways to knock you
out.
Payload Equals Payback.
Take your blood money to the armory and restock
your arsenal with missiles, mines, and ram spikes."
Overall a nice game with
good graphics for its time. This was the first game
i ever played on the PC and i still come back for
more! NOTE: This game
needs Moslo if you
have anything faster than an 286.
