WELCOME TO MEGARACE!

Hey, you! That's right, YOU! Have you ever wished you could inject 
some real excitement into your life? Sure you have! Well, you're about 
to find out how you can do just that, as we at VWBT take you on an 
exclusive tour of the most exciting Virtual Television Show ever! In 
this preview you'll meet Lance Boyle, all-round good guy and 
MegaHost of this wonderful show of the future. Together you'll 
experience an introduction to one of the specially constructed Virtual 
Speedways, and hear about the vicious punk speedgang that rules the 
road. On top of that, we'll even let you climb into the MegaRace 
Virtuality Suit and burn rubber in one of our exotic Enforcement 
Vehicles! Now who said the television companies of the future aren't 
generous?

All you need to do is install the demo (we'll tell you how in a minute), 
sit back and enjoy the guided tour, and then get psyched up big-time 
before daring to step into one of the driving machines of the future. 
Then the fun really starts! You've gotta race like the wind to catch the 
slimeballs who dominate the highway, then shoot, ram, shunt and 
crash them until they disappear into a cloud of supercharged explosive 
vapour!

We've only got time to give you a short (but exciting!) preview of this 
wonderful Virtual Experience, but hey, you wouldn't want us to give 
the whole show away now would you? The good news is you can get 
the whole driving-by-the-seat-of-your-pants extravaganza at your local 
computer software retailer, featuring 16 virtual racetracks, 8 
supercharged enforcement vehicles, a multitude of hot soundtracks, 
and over 20 minutes of commentary from the inimitable Lance Boyle!

MegaRace - it's a whole lot better than real baby, it's Virtual 
Television - reality's worst nightmare!
