Rubicon Trail

Rubicon Trail description

A rare English (it turns out that in our age it happens) the game is absolutely unknown origin.

As you might guess from the title, this game is devoted to the famous North American route for trucks, having a length of 22 miles and runs from Georgetown to lake Tahoe. In the game you control a jeep, shows unusually large; the prospect of a review - isometric.

The game itself is much more like a puzzle than a race: you don't have something that rivals - not even the track itself. The surrounding area is all sorts of boulders, huge logs, withered stumps, potholes and ditches filled with water, and only occasionally in between there are gaps which you are free to go.

In the left part of the screen is a map of your route with the symbol of all obstacles and your jeep as a moving point, but it helps, alas, weak. The countdown, which you have to overcome the route goes, but for some reason every second game is five seconds of real time. Management is not too realistic, but the transfer switch can (and to reverse), but to accelerate - no (this is understandable). To break the car, too, apparently, impossible - when you encounter an obstacle, you just write that here not to drive and have to find another route. Also note that you are driving a jeep, so using small stones and shallow grooves will have that to move. In General, the main difficulty of this, as paradoxical as it may sound, meditative game is in understanding where to go and where not.

Graphics is only CGA, but extremely clear and nice, not least because of the unusual size of the car, which is probably a quarter of the screen. To recommend the game given its unusual except that fans of quiet, not too (inherently) difficult, but unusual on the subject of jigsaw puzzles.
