Description from the packaging.

You have done well human... But that was just a little training. This time, you are playing with your life!

It's the 25th century and life is boring. War exists only in history books, disease and hunger are long since eradicated, this galaxy's secrets are exposed and prospected. Danger and excitement are gone from the world, except for the deadly Space Race Tournaments.

You are Earth's champion Racer, it's ultimate hero. As a space-age gladiator, you dice with death to thrill the crowds. Now the Rulers send you to challenge the best racers in the universe.

Three planets, three different racetracks, and then... The Finals! Turn too wide and lose your power. One false move and you'll crash into the dangerous guard poles. Mines on the track can blow you away, one slip and your opponents will ride you down or blast you to oblivion. You have a laser cannon. You'll need it, but the cannon drains power, so you'll need your skill and cunning more.

As you twist and turn across the alien terrain, amazing 3-D animation makes it a real race through Space and Time.

You are there, in the race of the future, and there is no tomorrow.

The games have begun. Earth's honor is at stake. And so is your life!
