I know how the programmer did it, and although it's a small thing, from a technical standpoint, it's amazing. Okay, you twisted my arm. Type in the word 'retro' when you enter your name on the high score screen and all the sounds in the game switch to Commodore 64 sounds. First there is the straight, vanilla brand of racing, but we have also added a mode where gameplay dynamics can change randomly during the middle of a race. Messages appear on screen, such as invert steering or cease-fire.
Players have to obey the messages or suffer serious setbacks.
This not only keeps the gameplay fresh every time, but results in some hilarious situations. There are 22 vehicles in all, but many of them are hidden. Players have to conquer all the tracks with all the tripods in order to unlock every secret in the game. IT has all the basic racing modes, including Championship and Time Trial. When players get really good they'll unlock a new racing mode, which runs 25 percent faster.
