Racer

Welcome to RACER - a classic car-racing game with smooth scrolling graphics. Steer your car along the road, using the 4 and 6 keys on the keypad, or the cursor left/right keys. Hit the CTRL key to Accelerate - when released, you drop back again.

Try to avoid on coming CARS, MINES (white), and OIL slicks, but try to collect yellow GOLD BARS for points. When you hit an on-coming car, mine, or run off the road, the game is over - when you hit OIL, you skid. Try to collect green BONUS ARROWS, for points, and a fast 'GOLD-RUN', but avoid red POISON PILLS, which narrow the road and give you a fast 'MINE-RUN'! During the GOLD-RUN, you do not have to face other cars, or mines.

You can select a different speed by hitting the F1 key on the title screen.

Hit SPACE to pause during play, or ESC to exit.

To run Racer in Windows, Linux or MacOS, you wil need a DOS emulator like DOSBOX. Extract the zip file, then open the RACER folder and click/run RACER.EXE.
