Any of you who've played, say, Interstate '76, but longed for a turn-based version so you could fret over the nitty-gritty details of vehicular combat may enjoy this. The start-stop of the turns takes a little getting used to, but once you get into the flow of things it's really fun. You can take test drives for free to get the hang of things; a 3 month subscription costs $20.
One of the coolest things is that you can record and play back complete races, so the teenager in me who always wanted to shoot a stop-motion film of a Car Wars is pleased. There's also an extensive library of recorded races to view, some of which are hilarious.

Despite the Mac icon on the left it doesn't seem Mac-friendly.

That's really too bad.The site loads page after page, picture after picture: www.dark-wind.com/fp2.html , then www.dark-wind.com/fp3.html , etc. At www.dark-wind.com/fp9.html I closed the window.

This game is really a lot of fun once you get into it. The physics, damage modeling, and turn-by-turn gameplay are all awesome. I've placed and won prize money in one regular race and one death race so far, and had a spectacular flaming burnout feet from the finish line in one other death race. If you love Car Wars and have patience for odd indie interfaces, you've really got to give this a try.

(Maybe they'll get the 'infinite' picture loading loop fixed soon.)
