Turbo Esprit

Trouble is brewing in the city: word has it that a gang is planning to move a huge drugs shipment into its heart. You (Who else?) must drive your Lotus Esprit Turbo through the streets, tracking down the gang members, ready for the exchange.

Your onboard computing can help you by locating the gang's vehicles on a street map, but it's up to you to dispose of them by shooting or ramming, always keeping an eye out for civilians!

This is one of the most boring games I have ever played. Driving down a seemingly endless straight road for about half an hour, waiting for a drugs exchange that never happens is not my idea of fun. The whole thing is depicted using some abysmal graphics and worthless sound effects... in fact, put plainly, it's rubbish.

Avoid, or you'll regret it.
