Plane Crazy

Game cover: Plane Crazy

Description

If cars can be used for racing, why not airplanes? Plane Crazy puts this theory to the test, as eight brave pilots (Nemesis, Big Red, Tsunami, Bustin' Bear, Slippy, Swifty, Duke, and Chub) take to the skies. Players choose one of three planes (with different handling characteristics), which can be upgraded (and downgraded) during the race by collecting tokens.

There are 9 distinct courses:

  • 5 point-to-point tracks (Boulder Dash, Dockland Dive, Monument Rush, Volcano Rapids, and Sin City Run)
  • A bonus multi-lap course
  • 3 practice courses

Each course has its own hazards such as skyscrapers, waterfalls and trees. There are also shortcuts to be found.

Three types of races are included:

  • Quick Race: against the other 8 pilots in a chosen track
  • Ghost Race: against a "ghost" plane, trying to beat one's own time
  • Championship: racing the 5 main circuits in order, earning prizes that allow the purchasing of upgrades to the planes.

The game can be played against other players via LAN or over HEAT.NET.
