Overlander

In this Road Blasters clone, you have to drive your armoured auto along hostile highways on lucrative secret missions. With the money you earn from this business, you can buy various bolt-on weapons for your car, which come in handy when rabid motorcyclists are trying to run you off the road or when bombs are falling off the back of lorries.

Although it won't have you hooked indefinitely, Overlander isn't a bad game at all, and in fact it's a pleasing alternative to the official Road Blasters. Worth the money.

Spectrum

A decent burn-up-the-road game with a fair few hours of blasting built in.
