Description
A racing game for Palm OS, written by Anders Oliveira and sold by mail order.
Provenance
Deposited by Port Riverbrook University Library, which had held it unread for years. The controller had failed, so the memory chip was removed and read directly. The image matches a checksum published by the original distributor.
