Speed Busters: American Highways (PC Dreamcast 1998)

Speed Busters\Devils is a video game developed by Ubisoft's Montreal studio for the Dreamcast console and PC. Speed Devils is a racing game in which the courses feature hazards such as dinosaurs rolling boulders, and UFOs in exotic locales including Louisiana, Louisiana Tornado, New York City, New York City Winter, Mexico, Nevada, Aspen Summer, Aspen Winter, Canada (Supposedly northern Quebec), Canada Light Winter, Canada Heavy Winter, Montreal Industrial, Hollywood, and Hollywood Disaster. The console version's career mode allowed a player to rise a racer through the ranks of a fictional racing league. Colorful rivals would challenge you to accomplish certain feats during races, making accompanying bets using prize money from competition. Money earned from gambling and performance is used to buy cars, upgrade them, and maintain them. There are 4 classes in the game.Each class had 4 people. Starting in Class D, they are Jack, Ms. Penny Parker, Alfanso, and Luigi. Class C has Vanessa, Blue Bullet, James, and Tex. Class B has Billy-Sue Bayou, Cora and Antonio Martinez, and Jake. The top class, Class A, has Cory, Pat, Yu and Driver X. Then you must beat Driver X, the boss of the game.

Speed Devils received fairly average reviews. Game Revolution wrote a review saying, "At the finish line, Speed Devils is an above average racer, but not much more." The reviewer said the game had good graphics and cool cars, but suffered from poorly made tracks that leave the player wondering how they managed to drive off a cliff without noticing the cliff in front of them. The article also criticized the games two player mode for being boring and drawn out.

Remember playing this many years ago when I was very young, loved this game. Might have to get it off GOG sometime.

IIRC there was a level with some fiery dinosaur that I never manage to complete... Well, I was 5, it might explain that :P

Can't think of a more difficult racing game but love it regardless. Never got past the fourth stage though. Have combined the dll files from the demo with the original installation's and managed to run it on Vista for a while (after that it crashed constantly). Hopefully the GOG release will ease my pain and I can curse and swear at the screen again.
