How it feels

A no-frills dash of pure acceleration where success comes down to timing the lights and flooring it in a straight line.

About

Dragstar puts you in the driving seat of one of 20 souped-up drag racers. Leave the rest blinking in the smoke of burnt rubber as you become a true Dragstar! Drag racing is a simple sport. Start the engines wait for the lights to go green and then drive very fast in a straight line. No corners no powerslides no outbraking manoeuvres - even the steering wheel is basically useless. The game features a 2D Graphics first person perspective story mode and a 3D graphics mode in the racing part.
