Description
A racing game for MS-DOS, released by Ardent Games in 1985 and never reissued.
Provenance
Bought as part of a box of disks at an estate sale and donated anonymously. Four disks; two read cleanly on the first pass and the rest after repeated flux-level reads. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
