That's a name that could have caused a stir a bit like Dong! did. Thankfully, everybody seems to be a bit more grown up about it this time. Anyway, on with the review, Inside the box, you are presented with 4 disks and a cheap-looking manual (compared to a standard MicroProse one anyway). The four disks are as follows Program disk: This contains the actual program (funny that, heh?) and the car graphics for non-AGA Amigas. This disk is not copy-protected and installed perfectly well on my hard drive, 2 Track disks: These two disks each contain 6 tracks each. The disks are copy-protected (and if you've any sense, you'll leave them that way! ) . AGA Car Graphics disk; Guess what's on this disk? It is also copy-protected. I don't know why, as the non-AGA graphics aren't. Upon loading, you are presented with a comms set-up screen, This is perhaps the most powerful part of the game. It enables up to four people to play the game either on linked up Amigas or via modem. In fact, Acid Software are planning to set up a modem championship in the near future. On a standard A1200, only two of the four types of cars can be used in a race due to the memory. If you load for hard drive, then it is only one. However, booting from disk and only using non-AGA graphics, all four car types can be used in a race. This greatly increases the enjoyment as everybody can have their favorite vehicles. The four cars available are Porsche, Camaro (with monster truck sized wheels) Monster Truck (Big Foot type) and a Dirt Buggy, The Porsche has the highest top speed of all and handles well on the tarmac tracks, However, it slips and slides its way on the dirt and mud tracks. The Camaro is my favorite. rev > 29 of 103 0 % AVUDTBSPQ
