	Description Edit \| History

This SF race-and-combat game, yet another permutation on the "Death Race" theme, is set on a post apocalyptic Earth whose World Government has set up violent New Olympics to entertain the survivors. The game concerns one event, the Open Terrain Vehicle Race between heavily armed teams; the winner is the first (or only) team to get one of their vehicles or racers to all sixteen checkpoints and back to Checkpoint Omega.

This is Task Force Game #1026, one of their series of microgames.

Checkpoint Omega Map

Computer drawn hand-made reproduction of the games map to save wear and tear on the original. PNG format with canyon walls hopefully more visible. Hexes are not numbered in this version.
