Gameplay Systems
Like in most racing games, players race down one-way courses consisting of streets vaguely based on real-life locations. While racing, they do their best to avoid various road hazards such as oncoming traffic and construction. Players chose between seven different cars, with either an automatic or manual transmission. The race begins in San Francisco and moves across California , progressing to Arizona , the Grand Canyon , Iowa , Chicago , Indiana , and Appalachia before concluding in Washington, D.C. If the player were to complete all tracks, they would be congratulated by then- U.S. President Bill Clinton . In each race, players must reach first place to advance to the next track, and there is a time limit to reach the goal, which can be extended by driving through checkpoints. If the player does not finish before the timer reaches zero, the game ends, unless there is a continue available. Unlike most racing games, there is the option to change the music by pressing the music button.
