- WELCOME TO MEGARACE!
-
- Hey, you! That's right, YOU! Have you ever wished you could inject
- some real excitement into your life? Sure you have! Well, you're about
- to find out how you can do just that, as we at VWBT take you on an
- exclusive tour of the most exciting Virtual Television Show ever! In
- this preview you'll meet Lance Boyle, all-round good guy and
- MegaHost of this wonderful show of the future. Together you'll
- experience an introduction to one of the specially constructed Virtual
- Speedways, and hear about the vicious punk speedgang that rules the
- road. On top of that, we'll even let you climb into the MegaRace
- Virtuality Suit and burn rubber in one of our exotic Enforcement
- Vehicles! Now who said the television companies of the future aren't
- generous?
-
- All you need to do is install the demo (we'll tell you how in a minute),
- sit back and enjoy the guided tour, and then get psyched up big-time
- before daring to step into one of the driving machines of the future.
- Then the fun really starts! You've gotta race like the wind to catch the
- slimeballs who dominate the highway, then shoot, ram, shunt and
- crash them until they disappear into a cloud of supercharged explosive
- vapour!
-
- We've only got time to give you a short (but exciting!) preview of this
- wonderful Virtual Experience, but hey, you wouldn't want us to give
- the whole show away now would you? The good news is you can get
- the whole driving-by-the-seat-of-your-pants extravaganza at your local
- computer software retailer, featuring 16 virtual racetracks, 8
- supercharged enforcement vehicles, a multitude of hot soundtracks,
- and over 20 minutes of commentary from the inimitable Lance Boyle!
-
- MegaRace - it's a whole lot better than real baby, it's Virtual
- Television - reality's worst nightmare!
