Description
There are two ways to win a race: be the first, or be the only one.
Based in a futuristic America, the player races on various tracks across the country for money, which can be spent on armour, weapons and other modifications to protect and use against the competition.
The player chooses from one of three cars (either "The Hellcat" for high speed, "The Crusher" for high firepower or "The Pitbull" for heavy armour) and begins racing against other drivers, including:
- Sly
- MotorManiac
- Wrecker
- Melissa
- MegaDeath
- Killer Angel
- Lurker
- Preying Menace
- Crimson Death
The player starts with $10,000 to spend on weapons, and earns more money by winning races. For each item the player buys, there are three variants: small/ineffective, medium/good and large/best.
The game uses 16-color EGA/Tandy (256-color MCGA/VGA, 2-color Hercules MDA, 4-color CGA) graphics to display photos of opponents and the 10 American cities in which the player raced. The track for each city is unique, as is each opponent's 3D polygonal car.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
