Ready, steady, go! Put your foot down to become a stock car sensation with Talladega, the high-speed race thriller.

In Talladega, you get the chance to sit behind the wheel of a 250mph speed machine and race against Richard Petty, king of the American Super Stocks car race scene.

First you complete the qualifying lap, the ride the killer curves in the 30 lap main event - all in 3D race graphics - including V8 powered sound effects and animated pit-stop sequences.

The game hasn't got the long lasting appeal of games like Pole Position of Acornsoft's Revs for the BBC. While I could happily sit in front of the Atari race game for hours screeching around hair-pin bends, I'm afraid that Talladega just sends me to sleep at the wheel.

Overall, Talladega is fun for a while but its lasting appeal could be limited. For race track addicts only.
