Beetle Game

Hi All

Trolling around the internet tonight for a while. I came across this VW Beetle game. While a little lame for most gamers it was a bit off fun and brings back a few memories of early 80's games.

haha, thats awesome. Its like a simplified non-violent version of the old classic game DeathRally i grew up with when i was a kid.

The first car you buy is a vw beetle, nicknamed the 'vagabond' in which you buy front bumper spikes, mines, machine gun fittings, armour, go fast bits and hire people to sabotage competitors cars. Was great fun :) and fantastic soundtrack.

Gotta love death rally! It was a free download from the developers website last time I looked. There is a similar game on iTunes called Mini Motors that has that good old top down racing. It also has beetles to race with, but no guns or sabotage unfortunately. It does come with a sweet nitro boost though.
