Synopsis
by Christopher Michael Baker


Choose from one of two cars (an F1 or a 328 Twin Turbo) as you race your way through eight stages of high-speed turbo action. As you progress from level to level, your opponents sport faster cars -- everything from VB Bugs to Ferrari Testarossas. Your view is from behind the car, and you can even strap on some 3D glasses for more depth. As with most car games, you have the power to accelerate (up to 255 km/h), brake, and steer as you try to pass the other cars and stay on the road.
