Scorcher

You know those 'Atlasphere' things they sometimes have on 'American Gladiators'? Well, I don't know if they have them in the British version, because I can't sit through the opening titles without attempting suicide (only last week I tried to slash my throat open with a Stanley knife, and that was just because it was on the telly in the window of Dixons as I walked past), but they're basically big wireframe balls that the hapless contestants climb into, and then roll around in. Why they'd want to do this is anyone's guess; perhaps they're a bit backward or easily led. Anyway, Scorcher is a racing game in which you find yourself inside something similar, hurtling through a selection of tortuous courses like a gigantic marble with its arse on fire. Weird, eh?

There are two tracks in this demo, one of which is very complex and scary indeed. The action speaks for itself. Oh, and for a laugh, try mucking around with the various detail options (of which there are plenty).
