------------------------------------------

Extremely few racing games are set to the style of the 60's, which puts this game in a league entirely of its own. As a game it's fairly weak, even though it doesn't have any serious issues other than its difficulty balancing, but as a retro nostalgia trip, this thing has the potential to really dig out those old feelings from anyone who has any interest at all in this part of American history.

Additional Information and Corrections:

* Here's a link to the Street Rod Online website: http://streetrodonline.com

* I intentionally didn't show the effects of crashing in this game because it's actually kinda disturbing and is even accompanied by blood splatters if you're going fast enough, though even under those circumstances, crashes will just set you back some money or you can choose to junk a car if you don't feel it's worth repairing.

* Two classic car colours you're not allowed to use in this game include black and yellow. Yellow I'm guessing was omitted because the EGA palette's yellow probably looked terrible considering how bright it is compared to its dithering counterpart, while black is reserved for The King's car. :P
