Combat Cars is a racing video game released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994, in which you not only compete with other cars, trying to outrun them, but also use all kinds of weapons and gadgets to damage your opponents.
In the beginning of the game, you can choose one of the eight available characters: Jackyl, Sadie, Ray, Mekmac, Metro, Growl, Mama, Andrew. Each character has his/her own strengths and weaknesses (speed, car handling, etc.), as well as unique weapons. The weapons include a shotgun, glue spots you can leave to slow other cars, homing missiles, mines, and others. There are 24 different tracks available in the game. The player must complete them in a linear fashion, and once he/she run out of time or fail a single race, the game is over and the player must enter his/her name onto the Scoreboard, the background being the type of environment the last race took place. Your score is measured by the amount of money you acquire in races that player has placed in. As the player spend this money on upgrades for his/her vehicle, the score suddenly lowers.
Combat Cars lacks a real ending and once the player complete the last race, he/she is promptly brought to the Scoreboard and the game resets to the SEGA introduction screen.
