4x4 Off-Road Racing is an off-road truck racing game. You choose in which track you want to race, like a Death Valley desert, Georgia mud, or Michigan in the winter. Depending on the race location you'll want to pick different 4x4s, and customize them with various options like a camper for more cargo space, a bigger gas tank, and a winch for getting out of muddy pits. Next, you choose between the various tires, spare parts, and fluids to take with you.

Once you've finished customizing your truck, the race begins. The roads are highly hazardous and littered with dangerous obstacles like pot holes, rocks, and cacti that will damage your truck and send it flying comically through the air. As you speed through the race you'll pass other drivers before finally reaching the end.

(Info)


Ripping ZX Spectrum music is a very complex process that is beyond the scope of this site. The recording was made with NEZ Plug. It is missing the song Taps.
