Slicks Racing

Overview

You are a retired race car driver who spent his entire career in the shadow of more successful drivers. But even so, it has brought you enough money to live in relative comfort. You've spent your whole life fighting your inner demons. You drank, met many women, and in the end you underachieved. You feel like you could have done so much better if only you weren't so weak back then.

So here you sit - old and grumpy, drowning in self pity. Suddenly, you feel an urge to fight your way out of this pit of despair. "Yeah, that’s it!" you say to yourself. "I’ll visit all my favourite tracks and break my old records! And if I find someone to race, we’ll have a duel!"

You buy your plane tickets and set out on your mission…

HOW TO PLAY

Use the fire button as a gas pedal, joystick left/right for steering.

When the race starts, you have to wait for the green light (or the 3rd audio blip), and at the same moment, hit the fire button. If you hit it too early, you won’t go anywhere, and you’ll have to release the fire button and press it again. Steering is disabled when your car is stationary, just like you’d expect in real life.

You always have to complete five laps, after which the race will end. If you’re fast as the wind, you may get golden time, which means you've

beaten your old record. If you’re a bit slower, you may achieve silver or bronze times.
