MegaRace

MegaRace

Game • 1993

Virtual Television has given us a chance to do the things that we can't make real in everyday life: Race through 14 great tracks in 5 different environments in a totally virtual place where you can kill each other quite easily with sidekicks or guns. In every track you will see some symbols that can make your car speed up, slow up or even blow up, like your mega-host Lance Boyle says, "Who knows; who cares!" Everything you see in MegaRace is virtual and no one really dies there. So have fun!

Ages 12+, but every child is different

The content features aggressive vehicle combat and simulated destruction as core gameplay mechanics. Younger children may struggle to distinguish the cartoonish, virtual nature of the violence from real-world consequences.
