Hmmm, awesome. Death Race, can anyone say Death Track!!
Ooooosh!!
What really does bum me about this though is nobody is mentioning the game. I’ve read blogs, news, reviews etc and nobody is giving credit where it’s due. A damn good 1989 Activision game, which totally pwnd. So pwnage in fact there is a movie 20 years later! I hope they have Melissa in her crappy red car, always thought she could take me, but NO! She’ll get nailed by the Transporter.
Death Track: Ressurection is supposed to be coming out “soon”, whenever “soon” is. I think we need to know which one (movie or DT:R) was the chicken and which one was the egg.
If there was ever a game to play in real life, Death Track USA would be it.

Err, you do realize Death Race is a remake/sequel to a 1975 movie called Death Race 2000, right?

Anyway, played Death Track tons on my 386/20 circa 1992. Also if you like that you might want to check out Autoduel. Ugly as hell but cool anyway

I’ve seen that movie and it’s just feckin’ awful man.
Autoduel… awesomeness!
I played Death Track a lot on my 286, tried it before on my XT in horrible monochrome CGA and it ran too slow on that machine, maybe cos it was running in 640×200 on that. Its a funny game. Would be nicer if there was multiplayer support .. but back in that time, there werent many multiplayer games. Definately on an XT
I did do some multiplayer games when I had my 486, playing over network with my friend and my lil brother. The one you think is hot. 
Dang, I sound so geeky now.
