WELCOME TO MEGARACE!
Hey, you! That's right, YOU! Have you ever wished you could inject
some real excitement into your life? Sure you have! Well, you're about
to find out how you can do just that, as we at VWBT take you on an
exclusive tour of the most exciting Virtual Television Show ever! In
this preview you'll meet Lance Boyle, all-round good guy and
MegaHost of this wonderful show of the future. Together you'll
experience an introduction to one of the specially constructed Virtual
Speedways, and hear about the vicious punk speedgang that rules the
road. On top of that, we'll even let you climb into the MegaRace
Virtuality Suit and burn rubber in one of our exotic Enforcement
Vehicles! Now who said the television companies of the future aren't
generous?
All you need to do is install the demo (we'll tell you how in a minute),
sit back and enjoy the guided tour, and then get psyched up big-time
before daring to step into one of the driving machines of the future.
Then the fun really starts! You've gotta race like the wind to catch the
slimeballs who dominate the highway, then shoot, ram, shunt and
crash them until they disappear into a cloud of supercharged explosive
vapour!
We've only got time to give you a short (but exciting!) preview of this
wonderful Virtual Experience, but hey, you wouldn't want us to give
the whole show away now would you? The good news is you can get
the whole driving-by-the-seat-of-your-pants extravaganza at your local
computer software retailer, featuring 16 virtual racetracks, 8
supercharged enforcement vehicles, a multitude of hot soundtracks,
and over 20 minutes of commentary from the inimitable Lance Boyle!
MegaRace - it's a whole lot better than real baby, it's Virtual
Television - reality's worst nightmare!
