In Fatal Run, a comet collision has left Earth suffering from radiation poisoning. As a driver leaving the protective fortress Albagon, you must deliver a newly developed radiation vaccine to the remaining survivors.

Hostile drivers and enemy henchmen are determined to stop you and steal the vaccine.
