The reason why I've made a patch for alpha-version, because it's too many changes, different internal structure, and usage of data from some other games.

Maybe the greatest Sega Genesis RomhackTA_Marcos_Translations2021-03-21Version 16.0

Improving a great game the way it is done, makes the game perfect. Long story short, with the new stuff added, this romhack have my 5-star rating. Incredible music added, new maps, new planets, new characters and great improvement of the cars tricks and weapons make this very entertaining.

One of my favorite games gets the attention it deserves. Interplay made this fun racer in the early 90's and was a doozy.

This hack is quite awesome. Extra characters, play as the unplayable ones like Roadkill Kelly, Grinder or Rage! New tracks, new worlds, new features and powerups. 4 different modes to try to test your skill as well.

I did find that the A.I. did get a boost, but more so than I thought. On the 2nd tier of difficulty out of 4, the A.I. was quite intelligent and brutal. You will get killed. A lot. The A.I. might be a little too good here. And even has a kill and death counter to boot. Larry still rocks and did well with him announcing the new drivers though sounded odd pronouncing one of them. But overall, good hack with a lot of love put nicely here.

Now if only someone could implement this all into the snes version stat as that is far superior in every way with the best video game soundtracks from the 90's. The music here is okay something you would expect from the Genesis.

A good link to this for download is on you tube. Try it!
