Wacky Races

STORY / GAMEPLAY
Wacky Races has 4 different racing stages and one extra stage in which you just control the fellow dog and must collect items within the time limit. All of the races are fun to play although a bit difficult as you progress and sometimes a bit frustrating. The game plays more like an arcade platform than a racing game reminding us of Zool or even Robocod, but overall, the gameplay is quite amusing! Your main goal is to complete each racing course finishing at a particular position, while your car (or whatever that is) is armed with a forward-shooting arrow that can impale the opposition cars and any obstacles found on your way (like boulders, rabbits and more).

GRAPHICS / SOUND
Wacky Races features colorful graphics and smooth sprite animation on the Amstrad CPC. There are also 3 levels of parallax scrolling that work pretty smooth and impressive for the CPC hardware! In order to achieve such beautiful graphics, the team behind it had to sacrifice the sound as it includes only a few simplistic sound effects and that's all!
