The Last V8
car racing game for Commodore 64, 1985
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Control Port 2.
The year is 2008 - it is 7 years since the Global War - the nuclear winter is
beginning to pass. The war destroyed civilisation as it used to be - The
earths surface is a radioactive battle ground with few survivors. As a
scientist working on a secret gouverment military project, in a deep nuclear
bunker you were able to survive.
During your years underground you have been working on your own special
project - 'The Last V8', based upon an old car which you owned in the
eighties. It is now unique - full radiation shielding, computerised with
telemodem link to the new sci-base, turbo charged, 8 cylinder, 940 bhp
engine, giving a max 410kph.
You have now received permission to take the Last V8 up to the surface to try
to make contact with the remnants of mankind - however on your maiden run the
sci-base warns you of an imminent threat from one of the delayed attack
nuclear warheads which detonate periodically, you have only seconds to return
to the intercity and then to sci-base before your radiation shield decays. In
any other car you would stand no chances - in The Last V8, survival is
possible - maybe...
