Rallycross Simulator

A sort of scrolling Super Sprint race game, in which you have to slither and bump your bijou buggy around a twisty track, dodging patches of ice and oil. Every race finished earns you cash with which you can drop into the pits for extra fuel, better tyres, bumpers, etc.

The strange control method is very off-putting at first, but it only takes a couple of games to get accustomed to it. Some of the later tracks are quite jolly, and one only features a level crossing in the road and, consequently, lots of rail disasters.

First impressions aren't tops but Rally Cross Simulator turns out to be a good laugh.
