Having been around for the other machines for quite some time now, Sega's mega coin-op burns its way onto the PC, and the big question is - has it been worth the wait? Well, yes and no. Yes, if you have an 8MHz+ machine with EGA graphics and a sound board, because then Power Drift is fast, looks good and sounds great (loads of digitised speech, already!). If you don't have that kind of setup you're in for a bit of a disappointment, because on lesser machines it's slow and jerky and the sound is an annoying cacophony of blips and buzzes. The game itself is fairly playable though, if a little easy.

Your buggy is easy enought to control but flickers like crazy when you fall over the edge of the track, and all of the other cars look remarkably similar.

A decent conversion but you need a mega expensive, top-of-the-range machine to really appreciate it, and the price is a major putoff.
