Overview:

From the back of the box: In an indeterminate future, the fate of the earth - and of all creation - lies on the multidirectional turn and speed of your 3D cyberspace sled. Your opponents, the alien civilisations, stalemated by the ravages of interplanetary war, are trained to perfection for the speedway event at the End of Time.

This is a racegame with a story. Between races non-moving pictures tell the story, while voice actors play the pictured character. The tracks are richly decorated and would look pretty good, if the saturn could keep up with the graphics. Of course it's also possible to do single races, without the story.
It's situated in the future, so the vehicles feature all future racegame cliches; they fly, have weapons and a speed boost.
