Review

This cart is a three game hodgepodge and doesn't do anything particularly great.

Speedway

In Speedway you control your car's acceleration and move it left and right to avoid traffic. The goal is to get as high a score as possible before the two minute timer expires. You must dodge the cars to avoid crashing and costing yourself valuable time and score. This is playable for a very short time before it gets old.

Spin-Out

In Spin-Out you can play with more than one player. You race around a track using the joystick and can use the action button to double your car speed. This game is ok with a second player. You can try to crash into your opponent as you go around.

Crypto-Logic

Crypto-logic is a misleading title and doesn't really fit with the other two games at all. This one will require a second player for any entertainment value and even then its not worth it. The first player will create a word or phrase. The computer will scramble it and the other player must guess letter-by-letter. The guesser is scored based on their number of incorrect letter guesses.
