Your car had lazers, a battering ram, and Caltraps (which were like depth charges) all of which you would use to destroy the other cars, thus making the race easy to win. Part of the game was that a ganster would come to you and mark one of the racers and if you destroyed them during your race you'd get a crazy bonus. I loved that game which I can't remember. The funny thing was that in looking at the Death Race Promo stuff, I completely assessed it using Jason's video theory and was like, yikes, I have played this game. (I once tried to load it on a windows machine, but the processor was so fast, you couldn't actually control the game at all. So I imagine that the game is lost to history :( ) </p> <p>Cheers!</p> <p>C</p> I used to play a video game (sort of like FZero) on my old Tandy 1000 which sounds exactly like death race.
