Here's a real pile of bilge from CRL, about which I might not have been so critical had the price been a bit more reasonable. To charge a tenner for this is out of order. On top of which whoever writes their press releases is illiterate, get this: "CRL has come up with some real hot motores for you... the hell's Angles have been out in full force".

So, what do you get for your money, apart from a good laugh? It's a Spy Hunter-type game where you view the hot rod from above as it stays in the middle of the screen and the road scrolls past. If you push the joystick right, the car speeds up, left and it slows down, wiggle the joystick up and down and you can steer the car. Wow! Every now and then one of the "Hell's Angles" pootles up from behind and you blast him. This, with the odd slight variation, is it.

This is only Level One though. On Level Two, as well as angles there are many more motores. It's bad news to shoot up the motores because you lose points, so you have to make those tricky split-second decisions. A graphic appears up your rear, is it an angle, or a motore? You must decide without hesitation and blast it to bits or hold your fire accordingly. Once you're through the early levels you have angles and motores coming at you from all directions, not to mention parked motores.

To add a bit of variety you get the choice of four motores of your own, and you even get to stop at the garage to refuel. If you fail to refuel, or blast the required number of angles for a particular level, one of the angles mows you down as you run down the track, though why you have to get out of the car at all defeats me. Despite that it was the only bit of the game I really enjoyed.
