Street Rod

vehicle simulator game for Commodore 64, 1989

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The year is 1963 and you're one of the hotshots aspiring to be king of the
county. You're given a small sum of money to buy your first car. Tune it for
maximum performance and off you go. In the diner where other hotshots are
waiting to take your prized possession, you race for money and pink slips and
if you win, you get to take home their cars!

The game's interface is relatively easy and fun to use. You have your own
garage as the interface itself. Options are in the form of the garage's
elements such as the clock for the game's main menu and the newspaper as your
source for buying cars and parts. Add to that a third person with an attitude
that talks to you as you play It's really a neat idea by which up to now, no
other racing games have that style. You feel that you're living in a virtual
world as opposed to just going from menu to menu. Another realistic part is
the ability for you to sell your car and haggle.
