Synopsis
E-Type Compendium includes:
The Original E-Type
Take control of £70,000's worth of gleaming "E-Type" and head off for the drive of a lifetime. Hear the digitised roar of the 5.3 litre 12 cylinder engine as you tear along lanes, roads and motorways at speeds over 150 m.p.h.
"E-Type" takes racing simulations into the work of 32 bit RISC processing to bring you a game of a quality that is not often found even in the arcades.
If you are new to car driving you can take the very easy to drive automatic for a spin but experienced drivers can optimise performance using the faster 5 speed manual.
There are hazards galore in the 5 varied scenarios including other cars, roadworks, pedestrians, trees, rocks, bushes, oil spills and many more.
"On the Archimedes the illusion of speed is terrifyingly real and the way the landscape moves in three dimensional perspective is a joy - a stunning experience." The Independent, Dec'89.
"This is a superb game....the tracks are fantastic." The Times Dec'89.
"No race game on any other machine looks as good." The Times Educational Supplement Dec'89.

E-Type Extra 100 Miles
This consists of 100 extra miles of very hilly and hazardous roads. They will test even the best drivers to the limit.
E-Type Designer
This highly advanced but simple to use designer allows you to design your own tracks. It is enormously flexible to produce an endless variety of tracks to challenge you and your friends.
"The perfect compliment to E-Type." The Games Machine Feb'90.
