Can't you just hear the pounding of the hoves? Or feel the intense excitement as the horses round the track? Actually I initially had a few nice ideas for actual horse like graphics going around a track like image. But the execution was a bit more complicated than was really nessesary. Instead you get this!
Anyway, this game almost ended up in the scrap pile, you see after adding the ability to actually win money, a secondary feature of crashing Windows was also added. While crashing Windows is relatively easy, esspecially with such complicated tasks as openeing Internet Explorer or checking email, it's often hard to figure out what exacly causes these errors. Anyway here is the game, complete and ready, give or take.
Unlike the last two games this one is relatively self explanitory and doesn't offer any in game instructions. Basically you bet money on a horse. Low odds mean the horse is more likely to win but it pays off less. Also unlike the last two games (by which I mean Tug Of War and Pearl Diver), this game is a multiplayer game, becuse loosing money on horses alone is never exciting. Just a note, if you want to quit the game, you'll need to loose all your money.
