4x4 Off-Road Racing	Epyx	1988	You're King of the Mountain on the Off-Road race circuit, winning events everywhere from the frigid midwest to the muddy south. Now you're sitting on a ton of hot truck in the desert, racing toward a heat-rippled horizon dotted with sand traps and tire-ripping rocks. And you're wishing you brought more water along for the ride... Survival of the Fastest Off-road racing is a test of speed and survival. First you pick your challenge: The Georgia Mud Fest, The Michigan Winter Wreck-off, the Death Valley Trek or the Baja Challenge. Then you choose a truck, customize it and stock it with tools. And survival supplies like food and water. Just in case. Makes the Grand Prix Look Like Sissy Stuff Those guys in fancy race suits don't use winches to lift rigs out of mud bogs. They don't change tires punctured by razor sharp cacti. And when it snows - they don't even have to race. In Off-Road racing these rough and tumble conditions are all part of the exciting challenge! * Claw over desert dunes, "bog" through mud holes, slide through ice - four exciting races over a variety of obstacles and terrains. * Customize the truck of your choice with the right gear for your chosen race terrain. * Bring along supplies for off-road repairs: tools, winches, spare tires, parts - even a mechanic. * Race rig-to-rig against die-hard opponents including a screamin' demon truck.* [83]* [1]

Drop caches of weapons and first aid supplies, outmaneuver the enemy, then locate the pick-up zone in order to reach safety!* [83]* [17]* [22]* [1]*** [52]
Matterhorn Screamer!	Hi-Tech Expressions	1988	Available in a combined C64/DOS/Apple II package UPC:0-87855-02204-3***I was suprised to find this once full price commercial game amidst many shareware/freeware games on a CD-ROM from Softgold from around 1994. On the cover the box only claims to have [game=#43157]Tennis Cup 2[/game] as commercial software on it ("Topshots on CD - Tennis Cup 2"); and besides that over 400 MB of freeware games and tools. We will never find out, but I wonder if this is a typical case of a company publishing a freeware collection without really having taken their time to thoroughly check the games to be free or not.
