[edit] Description

This is a different kind of racing game. In Burnin Rubber you get points for landing on other cars and for damaging or pushing cars of the track. Before you can land on a car, you need to fly, which is possible in Burnin Rubber at a speed of more than 100km/h.

[edit] Design

The race track and the cars are pictured from the bird's eye view. The cars are quite nice, the landscape is only shown in unicoloured areas. The background music is classic, hard rock music would be more appropriate.

[edit] Hints

The game can be played with joystick in port 2 by two players alternately. You control the car by moving the joystick to the left or right, up is faster and down is slower. Starting at 100 km/h flying is possible -and to get over bridges necessary- by pressing fire. There are 32 rounds.

[edit] Critics

Sledgie: "Nice idea for a game, but on the long run rather boring."

Guybrush: "Unfortunately it is motivating only for a short time, then it is too monotonous. Only 3 points from me."

Darkstar: "The game is a bit stupefying, the music is annoying and it has not the best graphics. However, in the past it had tied me to the screen for hours. I don't know why, but it kind of had something..."

Shakermaker303: "Again a cute old game. I think it was also sold under the name Bumpin' Buggies? Worth 6 out of 10 points..."

The Heist: "This game aslo fascinated me in its "cracked" disk version as one of the first ones, which kept stuck to my mind until today. This was probably up to the very coloured design, the in my remembrance nice music and the nice game principle. Flying - where the player's sprite was enlarged, which looked a bit silly - met the approval as much as the jostling of the opposing cars, which then crashed at the crash barrier. Nice children's game!"
