Overtaker provides you with a large racing car on a straight trick where, against a constantly decrementing clock, you seek to press on with piling up the points, which accrue only so long as you avoid a collision with an indeterminate number of smaller cars the keep coming up in your path. If you do hit one, everything but the clock stops and lose time. You can boost the speed as your skill increases and theirs no fuzz on the road! Brands Hatch provides an on- |
screen replication of the famous circuit and a timer, but any
resemblance to actual motor racing ends there. You control by
means of two key the direction of a fast moving pawn which rotates about its vertical axis
in a most disconcerting way.
At various points on the track its progress is impeded by groups of parked fellow pawns, which never happens even at Monza! But if you can forget about cars and treat the game as simply a difficult piece of manoeuvring, it becomes quite a challenge and is certainly fast enough - because it is Forth - for anyone. G.M.
