Despite all these years, this racing game from 1989 has not lost its meaning and elegance, despite the not very successful graphics and sounds. It could be said that it works on the same principle as NFS: Underground 1a 2. In the beginning you buy a car up to $ 750, make a few body modifications (remove bumpers or lower the roof) or engine such as: tuning performance, buying a sports carburetor or replacing the entire engine (six and eight cylinder engines are available) and hooray out. There are two races: drag or road race. You can bet $ 25 or $ 50 on the track. On the road $ 25 or $ 100. For both, it is possible to go just like that :). Over time, the individual parts wear out and need to be changed. The car modification part is still relatively fun, even if primitive, but the racing itself is very close to unplayable. The driving does not even reach the standard of games like Test Drive 2 or Grand Prix Circuit. Simply a game for all car lovers who like to improve their racing cars and not race much.
