Aahh, that's one of my favourite games :-)
First, just a little correction of the review, which tells us about 'VGA sprites', well sprites are just sprites, but if you insist on the wording than it should be 'EGA sprites' (and you can run the CGA version as well using an option, afair).
A FEW TIPS: 1. One of the best weapons are the _cheapest_ caltrops, buy maximum of them, then
place them all over the road (use the rear mirror to place them right in front of the opponent's car and
see how he stays behind, i use the term 'feeding' :-)
2. An easy one, but to spare the time for a novice Deathtracker: to dodge missiles, you've got to
hit your brakes quickly as the missile approaches close and it will hit the ground in front of your car.
3. *POSSIBLY A SPOILER DOWN HERE*:
there's an easy way to win almost any race, if you set the number of laps high. then all you've got
to do is go to the pitstop at the beginning, then wait till the opponents shoot one another, then you
come out and kill those that are left (I use caltrops for those who are still fast and shoot the slow ones
with a machine gun). But that's not as exciting as winning a standard race.
