Yeah, that got me fooled the first time round too...

I try to play but it sort of plays itself.... The trucks zoom around by themselves, choose their upgrades themselves, and I pretty much bang the keyboard trying to figure out how to actually controll them. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

You accelerate with Q, use nitros with A, turn with either Z/X for left turns and C/V for right turns.

Start the game and chose graphics/sound then no joystick.When game boots hit "A" for acceleration and you'll be able to enter name and begin!

The game works fine for me within DosBox.

what i dont understand though...I've just been playing it non-stop for the last hour and been winning every single race...Does it just cycle through the same 6 or so levels, reversing them, until you dont win or what?

Forgive my ignorance, but how do you install/run this game? I remember playing this as a kid and searched for it on the net - landed here.

Use DosBox to run the game. You can download it here.

in my DOSBox console I'm being told to choose my video card. it gives me 5 options

1: CGA
2: EGA 16 color (normal)
3: EGA 64 color (switchable color monitors only)
4: VGA
5: Tandy 1000

it doesnt seem to matter which one I choose as it always says "divide bt zero error thankyou for playing Ironman"

I can get no further

thx in advance

The correct choice is:
4. VGA

If you experience stability problems, change the following lines in dosbox.conf:
machine=vga
mpu-401=disabled
core=normal

How can I download this game!

Look here: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/28

See the icon? Click it.
In the next screen, click the same icon (It's this way because of a bandwidth theft prevention system).
And that's it.

From what I remember... yes. You just keep on cycling the tracks until you lose. But I think there are more than 6 tracks, and you race them on both directions.
