Highway Pursuit

Post by eMTe »

Author's description:

"Highway Pursuit puts you in control of a powerful sports car in a world filled with enemy agents seeking to take control of the road. Your mission is to destroy as many of these enemy agents as possible, without putting any civilian life at risk.

Along the way you will encounter varied terrain and weather conditions, a number of different enemy vehicles intent on your destruction, and also a few helping pointers from your colleague Ashley back at HQ."

Excellent graphics, excellent music (stolen probably, but who cares), amazing playability, this game is almost flawless imho. A must play!

Yeah, some days ago I discovered the fact that this is remake. I'm not fully sure if it's true remake, but it will be checked of course.

Found a bug, I think. A friend just got a 3dFX Voodoo card, and the game DOES NOT like it. It will load and play, but the graphics are screwed up. We may want to make a note of that.

This is not a treu remake of the classic Spy-hunter game. But the gameplay is similar. And it holds its own!

This game is a great way to spend an hour or more playing a good game. Gameplay is based on avoiding and eliminating spies hunting you down as you travel the highway. You can fire at them, or leak oil and leave smoke-clouds to get them off the road. It proves effective, but at the same time you have to get into trucks holding these valuable weapons, and this can be rather hard.
