Atari ST version

A classic Atari ST racer

The Good
The graphics were average for the game although the graphics tricks used does give you a feeling of speed. The music is probably the best thing about the game, there are some really good tunes from Ben Daglish that are worth the load time just to listen to them.

The Bad
The AI of the cars was very annoying, they would cut you up while going round corners making you crash into them and lose speed. Another thing about the AI would be that they seemed to slowly zig zag down the road. The only other annoying thing was when you hit any of the obstacles the car would steer into the next obstacle.

The Bottom Line
The gameplay is really quite straight forward. Fight your way up to first place and stay there for a few laps. The higher the finishing place, the higher the number of points scored and the higher up the league table you'll be.
The developer also included a fuel gauge so on certain tracks you've have to refuel your car. If you don't refuel your car and you run out of fuel then you'll finish last and of course that means no points.

It's a fairly decent racer with good music and average graphics. It has some annoying problems but if you can try an over look them then you'll find a game worth playing.

This game is a classic that everyone should have in their Atari collection.
