Dirt Dash

While Ridge Racer is well known, NAMCO's Dirt Dash is little-known. Dirt Dash has on-road and off-road racing in a competitive five-stage race. It is an insane racing experience ready to rack your brains and test your skills. So get ready to take on the insane action Dirt Dash provides!

Dirt Dash challenges racers to complete one lap around one massive level with five different sections. Each section is of varying difficulty. You will be racing continuously from the starting point you choose until you clear all five stages in a one-lap race. Pick a vehicle and get ready to test your luck and skill.

Locations.

A player can start from any of the following sections of the course:

• City (Very Easy) - a fast and easy romp through the city. All tarmac.

• Hill (Easy) - undulating and narrow tarmac roads await you here.

• Jungle (Normal) - race through a dense, dark jungle.

• Mountain (Hard) - jumps and treacherous dirt roads define this section. Watch out for falling rocks later in the stage!

• Snow (Very Hard) - try to navigate these difficult roads with snow falling and a lack of traction.

Some of the sections have shortcuts. If you know where to look, you can take these shortcuts and get both an unfair advantage and shave off seconds of your overall time.

Vehicles.

All of the vehicles the player can choose from ranges from buggies to cars to trucks. Each machine offers varying levels of difficulty in performance characteristics. They are all also fictional cars, by the way.

Racing.

Gameplay consists of seven vehicles on the track at once (including yours). An on-screen indicator lets you in on any upcoming hazards as you're racing around the track. You must clear the checkpoints to extend your run. Other than that, this game is fairly straightforward as a racing title. You win the game when you complete one full lap around the entire course from where you started and clear all five stages. You will coast once time expires. Hopefully you can cross a checkpoint in time when coasting!
