About this game

American Turbo-King is a racing game in which you drive an armour-plated, turbocharged supercar across the United States. The journey is divided into five stages: California Beach Race, Rocky Mountain Pass, Grand Canyon Jump, Great Lakes Stage, and New York City in Sight.

Navigate rough terrain and ramps while avoiding water, which can leave the car waterlogged and unable to continue. Hostile cars, helicopters, and planes attack during the race; use the lightgun or the fire control to shoot them down. Each stage gives you three lives.
