This launched a franchise that had its last release (as of 2024) in 2012, according to MobyGames. It was one of the first racing/driving games I ever played and is still one of my favorites.

If you want to clear the high score list, open the file SCORES (no file extension) in an editor, like Notepad, and simply delete all the text.

This was my fourth attempt at capturing video with OBS Studio. I was still trying to capture it in 800x600 resolution. I thought I figured it out, but, no. This is in 1600x1000 resolution, like with the Porsche.
