About this game

Bad Lands brings the Super Sprint-style formula to a futuristic post-apocalyptic world. Three heavily modified cars race for four laps on one of eight tracks viewed from above, with mounted guns available to slow rival drivers.

Spanners collected during races can be exchanged for turbo, weapon, and engine upgrades. Tracks become more hazardous as the game progresses, featuring ramps, bridges, collapsing buildings, and barriers that open and close in random sequences. Two human players can compete, although only the winner continues without spending credits.
