Death Race

Now here's a chance to reminisce, with this somewhat poor version of the eight year old racing game, Turbo.

The objective is to race along a straight road, attempting to overtake 70 cars within an 80 second time limit. Contact with other racers proves fatal, with the race ending after three crashes. If 80 cars are passed before the limit expires, a bonus is awarded and the race continues along a more congested road.

The archaic gameplay, graphics and sound provide an element of fun (mostly at the programmer's expense), but the repetitive racing quickly bores.
