Damned if I could find the keys for the yellow. I'm tempted to assume its joystick controlled.

Oh yeah, first post :thumbs:

This game is actually made for 3 players. The keys for the yellow truck are located somewhere in the middle of the keyboard, but I don't remember exactly where... I didn't play that game recently, but I remember we used to squeeze our 3 pair of hands on the keyboard of my friend's IBM PS/1 to play that game!

I can't even begin to tell you how many quarters I spent in the arcade version of that game before it came out on PC...

Default Error?

I don't understand. When I download it, it is just a 200 some odd file with no file extension whatsoever. And now it's put a 0kb file of it on my desktop when I tried to delete it that I can't get rid of. Did anyone else get this with this download?

The quotes in the gametitle broke the name of the file, including the ZIP extension. I have taken them out now. Just download again. The undeletable file should be deletable after a reboot at the latest.

If you still cant delete it. Use "Unlocker"-Program to delete it. There is also other ways to delete it.

one of my best childhood memories

besides playing it with other kids i found out that it is virtually unbeatable by the time you get to the highest level (we are thinking 60s here)
opponents get a boost when you do and get free nitro all around the race in the end. Just driving skills and some nitro wont be enough by that time... rather dissapointing really. maybe a remake that makes the AI smarter instead of cheat?

I used to play it a ton as a kid. I got pretty far. Don't remember how many far I got, but it was pretty far because I'd play so long that my fingers would start to hurt.

I don't remember how many tracks there are in the game, but I remember that when you complete them all, the game starts over with a new type of car.
How many types of cars there is, I don't know. It is extremely difficult with the new car type, so it's unlikely that I'm ever gonna find out.

i played this on the nintendo... 16bit i think, quite an old one. We had 4 controllers and if i remember there were about 20 different tracks. The problem is that the AI at the later levels has better upgrades than you, unlimited nitro and actually gets a nitro when you use one too. Some matches are, because of this, impossible to win. it becomes "the more corners the better", cause it slows the ai down and it means it will bore into a turn when you use a nitro. all in all, definately a multiplayer game


we found out about the tracks playing with the neighbours and granting eachother wins to prevent anyone dying
