ZX Spectrum screenshots

thumbnail — The game's title screen

thumbnail — The game configuration screens ask for player 1's name, which in this screen is Moby. If no name is entered for player 2's name the game sets up a computer opponent

thumbnail — With both players names entered the game then asks what controllers are to be used. If the player answers 'Yes - I have a joystick' then the game asks if its a Kempston, Sinclair or a cursor

thumbnail — With no joystick selected player 1 must define their action keys

thumbnail — Oddly, its only after setting up two players, making controller choices and defining the action keys, the game now asks if the player(s) want to design a new circuit

thumbnail — After choosing not to design a new circuit and not to load a player designed circuit the player finally gets to choose from one of the game's race tracks, the first is Brazil, this is the second Estor

thumbnail — A few more questions later, after choosing the computer players skill level and saving (or not saving) the track and we're on the gris waiting for the green light

thumbnail — Probably the shortest race ever. Straight off the grid and there's a crash so it's game over

thumbnail — On the starting grid in Brazil. The scenery is marginally different here

thumbnail — Both cars naturally have the same acceleration and are level up to the first bend when one or other has the advantage of being on the inside

thumbnail — Once past the computer car the player should be able to win with ease

thumbnail — At this point in the short straight the game shows the current lap. It's showing 00 which probably means the players are about to finish lap 1. This is the games only lap counter

thumbnail — About half a second further down the track the game shows the current lap time.

thumbnail — This was a two lap race. This is the end of lap 2. Therefore it is the end of the race

thumbnail — The reward is a short animation where the winner jumps for joy and the loser stamps their feet and says bad words. After this the player is back into the 'Do you want to redraw this track' dialogue

thumbnail — The first action in designing a track is to pick a place to start. The game always starts with a straight piece and used the driving action keys for on-screen navigation

thumbnail — With the first piece placed it's just a case of selecting the next piece from the menu and the game adds it to the track

thumbnail — Placing curves required the player to specify an orientation, clockwise or anti clockwise

thumbnail — This did not take long to construct, three to four minutes at the most.

thumbnail — Now it's possible to race on my own track, terrific!

thumbnail — An entirely unexpected result!
