This is a game for the maniac drivers out there!!! If you are tired of NASCAR or INDYCAR because of their heaviness: every detail has to be perfect to get your car running smoothly, the scenery is dull and very repetitive, gear shifting is unpractical, every time your tires screech it's a bad sign. Well now it's over, SUPERKARTS is here! Nothing for you to adjust, simply drive and slide all the way. Is it not right that all the great champions began their careers with karting, just like the late Ayrton Senna (he was one of the greatest drivers in the world and we miss him very much). Maybe this game sounds like another simulator, (watching the introduction will convince you of that) but it isn't. This is a pure arcade game where you can drive, push the others into the wall, and drop oil slicks for them in the curves. You can also pick up some nice gimmicks along the road such as a turbo. You use it preferably in the straightaways where it gets your tires burning, but what an acceleration. The super grip is designed to give you better traction in the corners, and the money can improve your kart between the races.




One good feature about this game is the speed of the kart (up to 100 mph 160km/h) and the feeling of sliding in the curves. If you turn too hard you will only slide and won't go very fast, everything is in the feeling of the steering wheel, but don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time like with any other arcade game. And there is no risk of blowing your engine, because there are no tricky gear selections.


In order to view the effects of the oil slicks or anything else, you can choose a camera angle on your kart or someone else's. You can also save your game between each race, which is nice feature in an arcade game.


Of course if you have many pals you can also play it over an internal net, but I didn't see anything about modems (sobs). Yes, the game sounds like fun, but this isn't the end of it. The tracks are the best part with any kind you choose, from jungle in Brazil to ice covered paving blocks in Moscow, beach like in the USA or an old industrial zone in Germany. Some of the tracks have unmapped routes, while others have a crossing in them, such as the ones in the shape of an eight which at first is very surprising.


Maybe the sceneries are too much like cartoon's, but the speed and maniability don't leave you much time to notice them. And if you play with the CD version, you risk getting more tense and excited because of the 17 techno tracks found on the CD. So, be bold on the steering wheel and remember it's only a game, and most of all: Have fun!


For DOS/Windows (via DOSBox) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections]










ITEM IS: USED - CD IN SLEEVE



WHAT YOU GET:

This auction is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

SHIPPING:

We typically ship all items out within 2-4 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage. We combine shipping and handling, with each additional item after the first just $2 more. Message us for an invoice if Ebay doesn't automatically adjust it.

International buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
  • Please message us prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback in order for us to help solve your problem.
