Game Introduction

Put your road-handling skills to the test in this grueling cross-county race. Unexpected changes in road conditions, such as snow, wreckless competitors, and emergency routed ambulances further the challenge. Points are accumulated by staying on the road and by passing cars. To finish a round, you must pass and stay ahead of at least 30 cars. In round one, you have unlimited lives. One bonus car is awarded up to a total of four for each subsequent round finished. The game ends when you run out of time without passing 30 cars or when you crash your last car.

Game Play

Avoid collisions with other race cars and pass and stay ahead of 30 cars before the time expires for continued play. The game continues until you run out of time without passing 30 cars or crash your last car. There is no ultimate destination. The progression of levels is signified by the “Round” indicator in the upper left corner, width of the driving area and the number of opponent cars. At certain places in the game, an ambulance will appear from behind, overtake, and actually pass your race car!

Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

When extended play is awarded and the gameplay restarts, you can drive right through other vehicles without penalty for a second or so. A couple of seconds after the yellow flag shows on screen, an ambulance will come up behind you. Drive right in front of the ambulance until it almost hits you, move to the right while it passes you no other cars ever show on the right side, although puddles do, then trail the path that has been cleared by the ambulance after it passes you to avoid any other oncoming cars for a couple seconds. Avoid the edges of the screen when a scene migration is coming up. All migrations from turns give a split second where the road becomes straight — even if it migrates to a turn in the same direction. Migrations to and from turns are the most dangerous as the other cars on the road including yours sometimes typically jump to the other side of the screen right after the migration. Driving with a loose grip and spinning the wheel will give you much better control for getting out of the way quick as the car doesn’t move much when gently steering.
