How to Play
America's most wanted high-speed criminals are on the loose, and it's up to you to stop them! Take to the streets in your ultra-lean cruising machine as you track down and apprehend five of the meanest felons ever to get behind the wheel.
Put the pedal to the metal, Mr. Driver! You only have 60 seconds to find the bad guys. Once they're in sight, shift into high gear and ram them off the road!

Special Features
Braking/Accelerating
Braking and accelerating at the same time automatically causes your car to brake.

Your car will begin to slide when you crash into another vehicle. Steer into the direction of the slide to regain control.

You can let up on the accelerator during game play and continue at the same speed (except when travelling over hills).
