One of the first games to use a CD Rom drive to access interactive constant video play footage, Megarace had (for it's time) great graphics, a razor-sharp script and a hilarious performance by Christian Erickson. What really made the game stand out for me was the sarcasm and wit from 'your Megahost'. Instead of being some by-the-numbers talking head, Lance Boyle really made the game worth playing with his comments like "Megarace: the action show were violence happens only ONCE... Every few seconds!" and "Viewers, if you are watching the repeat, please don't phone in with the answers! I hate it when they ruin the suspense!" Great stuff! As previous reviews have mentioned, the game does suffer from PC IRQ problems, which is a shame, as the sound is a major part of the game. PC owners should try and get hold of a copy of Megarace 2, which has no problems running under the likes of Windows XP. Megarace 3 is to be avoided...
