Check out this free download.

Perfect example of the KISS philosophy. And it's still as fun, and as hard as I remembered it :) :

Original Amiga version:

Pc version I could find:

If anyone can tell me how to install the original amiga version, complete with leagues and awesome hood graphics, I would be very grateful. :)

Emulators are welcome, I just can't get it to work... :(

Wow!! Blast from the past!

The main things I remember from this game was being craned back onto the track because I, once again, completely fekked it up.

Loved this game and played it again and again but never mastered it, I do remember you used to get holes appearing in the roll bar as you screwed up, totally unforgiving, but totally adictive, loved it. :D

Not available on GoG I'm afraid, I reckon it would have to be emulated only, and No, it wasn't when Dad was a boy, it was when I was :D

Arcadians and Planetoid were my faves before I got Elite.

Lump of charcoal and a dead rat were all that I had to play with.
