                   -----===== [ Death Rally v1.0 ] =====-----

Visually awesome and with great playability, Death Rally takes the top-down
view racing game genre to a level that has never been experienced before.
You start out from the bottom of the ranking list.  Your objective: earn 
oney
in the blitzkrieg-battle races, and fight hard for each precious championship
point. Each race can be lethal, and while taking the curves as hard as you 
can,
your fellow competitors are showering you in a constant hail of bullets. 
hile
the losers repair their cars and cover those bullet holes, the winner spends
his hard earned money on new engines, tires or stronger armor.
Shoot your way through screaming bystanders, pick up more ammo and turbo from
the side of the track, and floor the pedal while performing some shady deals
for The Dealer. No trick is too dirty when you're preparing for The Final
Confrontation; only the hardest armor, the most powerful engine and the 
biggest
guns will see you through the ultimate battle against The Adversary.
And when you feel you can't take it anymore, you can check out the 
nderground
market: Spiked bumpers, landmines, rocket fuel or sabotage can provide a way
to create some nasty accidents to the competition.
And for all you "clean racing" fanatics; Death Rally also has a mode where 
ou
can race against time (so if don't want to see blood on a highway, you can
disable weapons & other dirty stuff ;) and try to beat all of those faster 
than
light lap records your friends keep boasting of.
Utilizing a hi-performance 3D-Engine with texture mapping, lighting effects 
and
shadows, Death Rally creates a level of visual impact never seen before in 
he
racing game genre. 100% rendered cars, animated hi-resolution menu system and 
a
great playability make sure that you've never had this much fun before.
