Sub-strandard racing game, tries to look like Atari's Pole Position and Acornsofts Revs at the same time and ends up looking like a rather confused, and blindingly uncontrollable game.

This is an excellent racing game. It has brilliant graphics, it runs really fast, and REALLY smoothly. It is sort of like Outrun, in that you have to pass through a number of check points. It has lovely scenery, and best of all, you HAVE to run Policemen over to get extra seconds on the timer! The graphics are some of the best I have scene on the BBC, and are suprisingly detailed with hills and mountains in the background on some levels, and lots of trackside objects.

A racing game, top down in the style of Stock-Car Racing by Micropower. Its quite fun, and pretty tough too. The graphics are a bit lame, but work well enough, and for once the animation is quite good. Its a very basic game, but basic doesnt mean boring.

I think this an ok game, nothing special, but it does have the added bonus of a construction set built into it, so you can design circuits and then race on them, which gives it a long lifespan. The racing is not really up to much, but with two players it is a good laugh.

A nice horse racing game, the graphics are quite good, and it plays pretty well. The only thing is, how long can you play on a game where you bet but don't make any real money! You can play with up to four friends, it is really better this way, but is not exactly the most enthralling of games.

A nice little game, has you racing a boat around a course, it has really good graphics, but is let down by the fact that it is too easy to crash, and when you do, it is really hard to recover. Not bad though, I feel it is one of their better games.

A good racing game, it is just simple little upwards scrolling game, very easy. The road slowly gets thinner, so your reactions have to be quicker all the time. Another weird thing is that it seems to be Formula 1 cars that are racing, yet the ambulances which try to crash into you, actually are moving faster!

Another racing game from Supeior, this time from their early days. I think this is a really good game, it has the feeling of speed, and doesn't care about straying away from reality, letting you drive along at ridiculous speeds! A nice range of levels, and a good 3d effect make this one of my favourites.

The original racing game, this is one hum-dinger of a game! Racing around the track at high speeds, with really neat graphics, giving a 3d effect is brilliant. The only bad thing about it is that it does not have much longevity, once you have one one race, you just go back to the beginning again, so there is not much of a feeling of achievment.

As seen a hundred thousand times, like Space Invaders, Q*Bert clones were a thing that every company used to do, much like now every company seems to be obliged to produce a Racing Game and a beat-em-up! This is a fair version, nothing special, there are no fancy graphics or sounds, just a bog standard game.
