Supercars
There are 9 tracks in the game which can be raced in any order (although I find the last one much more difficult than the rest, so you should race them in order anyway ;)). Money you win from the races can be spent on the usual car upgrades, such as steering and turbos, as well as front and rear missiles you can use to destroy opponents' car (which will leave a big pileup for other cars - and yourself on your next lap). The scores you earn from each race are cumulative - they determine your overall championship standing against computer-controlled drivers.
The game boasts decent graphics, fun gameplay, and semi-realism (you can apply the 'hand brake' for example during fast turns, and scids have a real impact on the cars. One interesting idea is the trivia section between races, in which you must answer questions to win championship points and money. Wrong answers can cost you either or both. All in all, a highly underrated underdog that was much better known on the Amiga. Recommended!
