GAME DESCRIPTION

Get ready for ferocious, heart-pumping action on the wild side of the racing world. Monster Truck Madness puts you behind the wheel of the most thunderously untamed, radical machines ever to take up racing.

Stand on the accelerator as you roar into the turn. In a high speed, jumping, rolling battle of horsepower and raw nerve, you have to kick both into overdrive when the competition is breathing down your tailpipe.

You're behind the wheel of a screaming monster. All the wild tracks, tumbling action, and racing realism play out in amazing 3-D. And, if your friends are game, you can race them over modem, local area network, or the Internet.

From the race track to the garage, you're in charge. Choose the type of racing and your favorite truck, then get that bad boy tuned just right to compete. It's the fastest, easiest way to get that monster on the track and racing. You better hurry, the next round of bone-jarring, dirt-kicking action is set to start.

  • 3 skill levels - rookie to professional - and 3 types of racing - rally, drag, and circuit - keep the action hot and the challenge real.
  • More than 12 tracks, each with a different terrain including off-raod mud, sand, and water.
  • Pro tips and videos to give you the competitive edge.
  • Your choice of fantastic viewing angles: from behind the wheel of a competitor's rig, or the blimp overhead - even from a race cam that automatically picks the best angles.
  • Relive the spectacular racing moments with instant replays.

    • Requirements: Multimedia PC with a Pentium processor, Microsoft Windows 95 operating system, 8 MB of memory (12 MB recommended), hard-disk space required: 20MB compact, 100 MB typical, double speed or faster CD-ROM drive, Super VGA, 256 color monitor, Microsoft mouse or compatible pointing device, joystick or compatible device (race car controller optional), sound board with speakers of headphones, Hayes compatible modem (14,400 baud for head-to-head play, 9600 baud for connection to the Monster Truck Web Stop site).

    CHEATS

    Here's a great Monster Truck Madness "Easter Egg"...

    There is a hidden soccer field on the Highlands Rally course and people can play monster truck soccer with a giant soccer ball that is sitting there waiting to be used. My favorite is to play monster truck sumo wrestling on the soccer pitch - the winner is the truck who knocks the other one off the field and over the hills that surround it!
