Developer: Beavis Soft
Platform: PC
Release Year: 1994
Stephen's Rating: 6/10
Basic Plot
There was no plot.
Gameplay
The game involved racing cartoon styled characters in cars around a racing track, while engaging your opponents in battle. There were various objects you could use to distract your opponents including hedgehogs and other items.
There were several different game modes ranging from traditional racing to arenas where the objective was to hit your opponents a certain number of times with hedgehogs.
The game featured split screen and network multiplayer support.
The game was, and the developers openly admit, heavily influenced by Super Mario Kart. They wanted to bring the same kind of gameplay experience to the PC. Copysoft also released a similar game around the same time called Skunny Kart which I also played.
Positives
Rich and interesting gameplay experience for the PC at the time. Bright and enjoyable graphics. High replayability.
Negatives
Very much a Super Mario Kart clone.
Split-screen multiplayer mode.
Memorable Moments
This was one of those games I often saw in Simply Shareware magazine but never bought it because you paid per megabyte, and for the time this was a big game. I played it years later when the internet became more accessible and I could download it.
