The name may be long-winded, but the game certainly ain't. This is Super Sprint, '90s style.
With dirt tracks full of bumps, craters, ramps, and pools of water, it's a lot
trickier - and a lot more fun.
One of the main attractions is the multi-player racing. Up to three human drivers can
compete, one using the keys.
All compete for cash to improve their vehicles in the pre-race shop. Items include
extra acceleration, higher top speed, better shock absorbers, tyres and nitro-boosts.
The latter can be used to great effect on the straights, enabling you to catch someone
way in front.
What a magnificent conversion this is. It plays brilliantly, the presentation's superslick,
and it's all packed into a single load!
