This installer requires the original Powerdrift disks (2 of them).
The installer also requires JST by Jean-Francois Fabre and

You can download the latest version of diskripper from my site.

So what can be said about this game ? It's a little bit like a clone of Stunt Car Racer and Lotus,
thus it sounds like a very good game ? Sorry, not really, the game tries to combine the gfx of
Lotus with the style of the gameplay of Stunt Car Racer. But it fails in displaying the good gfx
of Lotus and does not even come near to the fast gameplay of Stunt Car Racer. The other bad note
is rgar rge tracks are way to short and there are not even enough of them. So whar are the good
news ? Probably that is has no 2 player modus ? Probably, at least than only one has to suffer.
