From the creators of the classic Super Sprint comes Badlands - a fabulous conversion of the popular coin-op.
It's been 50 years since the nuclear disaster and a new sport has evolved in the arid wastelands known as the Badlands. Sprint Racing with a killing touch is the sport - a destructive battle between armoured cars. It's all out war on the track as players blast the drone cars and each other to finish first.
Aggressive and dangerous, in the Badlands only the ruthless live to tell the tale. Customise your racer with extra missiles, speed, tyres, turbo boosts and shields. Avoid oil spills and a host of hazards to race the eight unique tracks which become more dangerous as the level of difficulty increases.
Badlands: For one or two players - its ruthless, destructive and great fun!

Given the graphical limitations of the Spectrum, this is not a bad little game. One of the best overhead racing games produced, but that is only to expected as it was one of the last to be released.Other Images (click or select to view larger version)
