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.
