  I actually was surprised by this game. Expected it to be so bad, but it was actually really playable. Didn't like the mines tho! Otherwise great game.

  Yeah, a nice little blaster. My original disk must have been one of the longest loading versions. It took almost 4 minutes to load the game. Maybe it was some re-release with a strange disk format... Still the game-engine was surprisingly well coded especially when Probe did so bad with Out Run conversions.

  Not as good as the arcade version but I personally like playing this game from time to time. It is playable car shooting action. Overlander is similar but a bit smoother.
