Reckless Drivin' a Great Diversion

- 2006.08.04

Reckless Drivin' is an extremely fun, bird's eye view racing game.

I first found out about it at school - kids were playing it on the computer when teachers weren't looking. I was one of the few kids to have an OS X Mac at home, so that day I wentt home and downloaded it.

I was soon disappointed to find out that the free version only has three levels. The rest are unlocked when you pay the $12 shareware fee.

Level 1

A few weeks later a friend told me that there was a hidden feature in the game that gives you access to a whole bunch of different vehicles.

Uh oh, cops!

This is a very good time passer. When I'm bored, I usually find myself listening to Jethro Tull while playing Reckless Drivin'.

I really like this game and would definitely recommend it to any low-end Mac gamer!
