Racing Destruction Set
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

An isometric racing game that sets itself apart by the large number of customizable options.

The game comes with 50 built-in tracks, and the intuitive editor makes for infinite variety of races. Modify the existing ones or create one yourself. Set up sharp curves, crossovers, jumps (set the height), track width and more. Then set the track width and choose either ice, dirt or pavement for the surface. As if it weren't enough, gravity can also be modified, from a Moon-like low to a crushing Jupiter-like high that will keep your car glued to the ground, even after a jump.

Once the track is laid out, race in either a beat up VW Beetle, a stock car, a dirt bike, a Porsche and even a Lunar Rover. Each car has it's own characteristics and you can also choose tires and engine sizes, according to the track you're about to race in. Also, equip your cars with land mines or oil slicks to make the race more interesting.

The game allows single-player against a computer opponent, or a two-player race, both in split-screen form.




Trivia
Connie Goldman, the graphic designer for this game was once foreman (foreperson?) (sic) on a road repair crew.

Description from the packaging:

The best slot racing set ever.
Unlimited, unbreakable track.
Customizable cars and bikes.
Land mines, oil slicks, adjustable gravity and more.
Amazing split screen delivers white knuckle action.
Use the joystick to speed up, slow down, change lanes and run the enemy into the wall. Player 1 uses the top of the screen. Player 2 (or the computer), the bottom. Gripping animation of spinouts, collisions and spectacular end over end crashes. Land mines and oil slicks too. It's fast. It's funny. It's action packed.

9 Hot machines to test your skill and strategy.
An open-wheel, open-cockpit racer for Indy-style tracks. A Baja Bug for punishing motocross layouts. A dirt bike. A street bike. A stock special. A sleek, mean Can-Am road racing machine. A pickup, a jeep, even a lunar rover for low gravity duels. Pick your vehicle, then pick the tires and engine size to match the racing conditions you expect. Then go for it.
50 Built-in tracks and an editor.

There are dirt tracks, grand prix road courses, motocross layouts, and several more too bizarre to describe. And there's a powerful, easy-to-use editor that lets you lay down straightaways, curves, forks, crossovers, and jumps. Set track width and choose one of three surfaces- pavement, dirt or ice- for each piece. Modify the pre-built tracks or build your own from scratch. Save up to 58 different tracks per disk.
