AMMOTRAK
This game by John Philip spawned his commercial success,
Eliminator, a race to the death, and is every bit as good. To
load the game simply put the disk in the drive and switch on
your ST. A menu will load giving you a choice of Ammotrak and
Skullduggery. Select the key for Ammotrak. A loading screen
will appear and the program will load.
Before the game begins, it is wise to let the computer cycle
throught the intro screens as one of them gives some useful
information concerning what you are likely to encounter along
the winding lanes of Ammotrak.
Ammotrak is a race against the clock. Your race can be extended
by collecting the various goodies that have been left behind by
other unsuccessful Ammotrak riders. These items include: fuel,
withoug which you grind to a halt; extra weaponry, which allows
you to blast any other riders you encounter; and enhancements
for your vehicle, which allow your already hi-tech craft to
perform acts such as flying.
Pressing the firebutton begins this race to the death, and your
racer is shown on the starting grid. Pushing the joystick
forward causes the shuttle-like ship to accelerate, while moving
the joystick left and right perform their usual functions.
Pulling back on the joystick slows you down. Collecting the
enhancement pods couldn't be easier - just run straight into
them and the accessory will be instantly added to your vehicle.
As you wind along the twisting lanes, other riders will attempt
to slow you down. If you are armed with a weapon, pressing fire
will dispatch them into the hereafter, but if you are unarmed,
just steer a route past them. Be careful, though, of other
obstructions, such as the blobby orange rocks that litter the
road. Crash into one of these and your craft will be instantly
destroyed. And don't forget to stay on the road.
