Overlander

Put on your driving gloves and get ready to speed off into the sunset in the ecologically unkind world of the Overlanders. In the year 2025, the ozone layer has finally collapsed, forcing people underground and leaving the surface of the planet to the baddies.

Your task is to ferry goods and documents overland between the subterranean cities, and it's not easy. As a driving game, Overlander is a so-so offering, but redemption comes in the form of the goodies you can buy to make your customised car bigger, faster and meaner.

The distance between each city varies, so be careful not to waste money on fuel, and if you decide to carry illegal substances for the Crimelords, be careful - the surface dwellers will be even more eager to knock you off the road to grab your cargo from your pre-apocolyptic machine.

For those of you who like a driving game with a difference, there is more than enough here to keep you happy.
