How it feels

Aggressive, high-velocity futuristic racing with a campy, over-the-top FMV presentation that feels like a virtual reality game show.

What players say

Players love the silly FMV host Lance Boyle but are split on the game itself. Many call it a rail shooter, not a true racer, and it runs through DOSBox with no widescreen support. The Linux version literally downloads nothing, and some say the price is too high for a 30-minute 1994 game.
