African Trail Simulator description

More than an interesting race in which you are invited to drive through the African desert on a motorcycle-SUV side-view (!).

A choice of three different motorcycle (really different in a number of characteristics), and five opponents, which differ in parameters (e.g., someone "more dangerous"). Choose all of this should be approached carefully – as the speed and reliability of the motorcycles are different, and the rivals (all) are very ill – you can easily down the road. Sometimes a fall can end badly.

Before each race you must choose three of the five things you can take with you. Things following: first aid kit, extra canister of fuel (fuel in the game of course), a route map, compass and a pistol (they can threaten the opponent, if you see that the intentions of that openly hostile). What to choose – you decide. For example, if the track will be a lot of stones and potholes (its characteristics are always known in advance), you just need to bring a first aid kit in case of a severe fall, and if the track is twisty is not to do without a map.

Of the nice features is the ability to "ride" on the rear wheel of the iron horse. Any movement physics in the game are not marked. The graphics are beautiful, especially in EGA mode, but more than unexpected for the genre term review at first hard to get used to. Verdict – a strong recommendation for all fans of old races, because it occurs so infrequently.
