Other ways to play DOS games today

Is it still worth playing?

Miniature cars, shortcuts and a bright yellow school bus make this top down racer for MS-DOS and Windows more playful than most. Seven tracks, from the Lost Ruins to Cape Thor, are raced in 11 vehicles, from the Bug and the Redneck to monster trucks, jungle jeeps and police cars, with more unlocking as you go. Knocking a rival off a cliff edge is as legitimate as overtaking, and so is a shortcut. The view scrolls smoothly overhead, and a split screen mode lets two people race on one computer. Short races with odd vehicles and open shortcuts are still easy to pick up today.
