I downloaded the new Tanaka 3D demo today. It's a Wipe Out clone. Wipe out is better (in this game you are glued to the track too much). BUT... I think the developers made a little (big!) mistake, in our favor though :-) The readme file says the Custom screen is disabled. Well... IT'S NOT! So now you can change almost anything: number of opponents, track complexity, ramps, tubes, underwater, doors, powerups: you name it: you can change it! And you can choose any vehicle you want and buy all kinds of powerups, weapons, etc. This is a complete game to me! So i fI were you, I'd get this demo before the developers pull it from the net!

All well and good, but does it really matter if the game isn't worth playing? This game sucks, and it sucks hard.

The only feature I used was the uninstall. Who cares if you can add powerups to a piece of crap. >I downloaded the new Tanaka 3D demo today. It's a Wipe Out clone.

> In other words, you can't polish a turd, right? I preferred the saying from Confucius: "Man who polish turd end up with shitty rag".
