I had never played this one back in the day; it's
not exactly a title that would make a young lad rush to
the shop and purchase a copy. As the name suggests, you
get to race trucks around several courses and your aim
is to top the leader board after completing each course
twice, from which you are awarded points based on your
finishing position. You can also upgrade parts of your
truck to get better performance. Unfortunately, the
graphics are pretty poor - it's more a case of
'International Multi-coloured Caterpillar Racing' to be
honest. The trucks are very badly drawn, and poorly
animated. After a lap of course one, I thought this game
was awful. After playing on and upgrading the truck I
started getting more into it. There's a unique skill to
racing these trucks and after a while I started to get
pretty good and enjoyed it. So this game, although it
sounds and looks a load of rubbish, isn't actually that
bad. It all depends on whether or not you are mad enough
to put the time in to practice it...
The final track is
complete!
"The Scores on the door, Miss Forbes"
"The dirty trucker!"
Hmmm... nice! The
End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
I raced and raced - and left the competition eating my
dust!
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
Once you have raced on all the courses twice, hopefully
you will have acquired enough points to top the leader
board. The final positions are shown on the board,
before you get to see a picture of a lady presenting you
the winners trophy (similar to other zeppelin race
games). A congratulations message is shown beside the
picture and the game restarts when you press the fire
button.
