PEDAL TO THE METAL

A first-person combat racer in a rusty junker held together with duct tape and stubbornness. You steer with the mouse, shift gears by hand, and run on kvass.

You sit in the cabin of a beat-up wreck. Your gloved hands are on the wheel. Hold the right mouse button

and your hand moves to the gear lever. You drag it through a real H-pattern with a neutral detent, and

it grinds if you try to shove it into reverse at speed. You switch the radio by hand too: PUNK FM or GARAGE.

FEATURES

- Hands in the cabin. The wheel, gearbox, radio and kvass bottle are all operated by the driver's own hands.

- Kvass instead of nitro. It's a 2-liter bottle. Drink it for a speed boost, or throw the empty out the

window. Rivals throw bottles back, whdshield and sets the wipers going.

- Rust and wreckage. Hoods, doors, bumpers, mirrors and wheels first go loose and then fall off. A loose

hood can flip up and block your viewart to hold it, or on a cracked windshield to patch it.

- Fuel. The tank runs down, the engine coughs, and then it dies. Jerry cans sit on the track, hang over

ramps and drop from wrecked cars.

- Weapons. Pick a primary in the garage: machine gun, twin guns, flamethrower or homing rockets. The secondary on F is a shotgun, mines or a spiked ram.

- Police helicopter. It comes with a ine-gun bursts. Shoot it down and it spins, crashes and leaves a burning wreck on the track.

- Four maps: desert; a dusk city with collapsing buildings; a rainy swamp with mud pits and falling pines; a junkyard with a wrecking ball, a
