1983 Thorn EMI Video (UK)
by Graham Wisdom

I would like to be kind with this '83 release, after all it's just a 16K game, but the game is so clumsy that would be in fact unfair to other better games. Crashing is almost random if you are on the wrong side of the lane and a car comes your way without any warning. And when finishing a race the game restarts again, with the same background and apparently with no changes at all, which really spoils the longevity of the game. Maybe fun in '83 and even so I doubt for much long.

Keys:
6,7 left, right
8,9 speed down,up
2 gear change

What are you supposed to do in this primitive and ugly-looking racing simulator other than crashing your car time after time ?

1,5 / 5 .
