Description 

 In the multimedia age with children's rooms full of technical bells and whistles, the phenomenon can be explained Hot Wheels no longer so obvious.  Imagine simply, one would as a young boy growing up in the 80s and play with little tin cars from renowned toy manufacturers.  Would not it just obvious or revolutionary, when the metallic smell and without the risk of harmful paints known today simply could do with a computer?  This was well in any case, the product division of Mattel in the mid 80s and was responsible Epyx with the Hot Wheels making a computer game. 

 There are just like the real game with toy cars really a goal.  One gurkt Sun hum-hum-making by a small toy town with all the 2 streets that are connected together by an expressway.  It is possible to make different small gadgets with the beloved car, or even to change the car.  Because of the missing game goal you can win or lose either, so really did not do much wrong. 

Design 

 The game has a time especially for very detailed graphics, the individual games are animated not bad.  There are also some rather annoying FX , but otherwise the title song as a sound, it is best to enjoy the "New Cars" store or the title screen, because the expressway is not long enough.  Really quite pathetic two-part song. 

Lower street 
 
 So many beautiful streaker!  Heavy is the head that wears the crown! 
 Once you have decided on a racer, it goes first to the varnishing.  Unfortunately, the creativity here put strict limits, it is above selected by joystick from a palette of 12 colors, then wrapped by excessive Feuerknopfgedrücke the car in clouds of color.  Then you have to put away the paint again, and if you did everything correctly, the car will appear in the desired color and can click on "DONE" go off the assembly line.  A very complex sequence made with really very simple result.  Rather quickly from the street. 

 Here, by moving to the building and fire button, the individual actions are launched.  One could, for example, the freshly painted truck in the next building to the right ruin right back in a crash race, one of something funnier Einzelspielchen in which explains the controls intuitive and victory and defeat are all the same, there are no more damage, there is also nothing to gain.  That would be because of the very stupid AI also undeserved.  Or subjecting the car to a car wash.  Quite nice to look at but totally useless, because the car is never dirty and the purple is not lilaner it.  So we continue to take place inside a parking garage, steal us a nice car and leave this desolate area on the highway, also known in the U.S. Expressway.  The car will scroll through a very nice canyon homes.  Traffic there as well as in the rest of game (from the crash race aside) do not, you can not do anything while driving. 

High street 
 
 On the road again ...  and again nothing doing in the ghost town 
 Turning right when you could fill up first and check the tire pressure, both fiddly and somewhat boring and pointless.  The price of gas per gallon today elicit a well anyway just a tired smile.  And no matter what it costs, it is full tank, because the player steals not only cars in the car park, but also has an infinite amount of money.  End up back in with the "Bob's" labeled door and nothing like going away.  The "Super Tuner" we could have set the individual cylinders.  It has no effect, it is not very exciting.  At least you can "tune" your car again - apparently the ignition moved faster than you can roll off the court ...  We pass right eternally burning house from which later will be discussed later.  Next stop: the oil change?  Drive cars on the gray lift, fire, wait for loading, high pumps, fire button.  Maneuver the driver with the squeaky carts disposal under the car, fire and go.  Who wants to be away quickly, as quickly absorb as much oil.  Who is an environment-Nazi, can simply drop firstonce around a bit.  Then somehow still torment the new oil into it (the Joystickgefummel is one of the few challenges in the game, which is why time is not explained), taken away the little cart, get the car on the lift and think twice about whether you experience this exciting sequence ever wants. 
 
 Good thing this house is burning constantly, so you can try again and again, to be a hero. 
 As said before Grisu the dragon: "I want to be a firefighter!"  So the Fire Department put right front of goal and press fire, charging wait.  Open while holding the fire button and joystick up the gate.  Go into (high), close the door (fire and down).  From the fire truck and the whole thing (it is clear, if the garage door is jammed, the house is on fire just off) the other way around again, then we can start.  On the ever-burning house.  What follows is probably still the most exciting games.  You park a good distance from the hydrant left the truck.  Then go for it diligently deleted.  This is not easy because the water supply is limited (do not ask for logic, instead hydrant you can imagine even a fire water pond).  Meet separately with the water jets downed the burning window, especially the smaller ones, requires a little judgment.  The fire spreads rapidly and also covers already deleted windows again.  On successful fire fighting operation there to reward a small jingle heard.  The feat fails, burn the house down.  This can cause a cold, but, even a trip to the bottom of the endless road or even on the Expressway and go back enough, then new pyromaniac who built a house there.  To repeat the alarm trigger back in the fire station, high gate, gate down etc. ... 

Tips 

 Here, two players can compete simultaneously (Player 1 - joystick # 2, Team 2 - joystick # 1): Crash race.  One can here wedged übelst.  Then it takes a long time sometimes, until one becomes free to come by defeat or victory of the games out.  So if your car looks very muddy, simply look the other Stefan Raab and non- AI -AI opponents take their cars to avoid scrap and active intervention. 

Cheats 

 Anyone who has read along, know that these are not really necessary. 
 The version of "Nostalgia", offers a manual or deleting unlimiertes water and a cheat for the red car in the demo derby lotion.
