How it feels

A gleefully chaotic and violent arcade racer where mowing down pedestrians and wrecking opponents with absurd, darkly comic abandon is the point.

What players say

Players are here for the nostalgia, but they warn the game is a rough ride. The cars wobble and are hard to steer, the DOSBox port has setup and audio issues, and control mapping is a pain. Most accept these quirks as part of the old-school charm, focused on running over pedestrians and cows.
