![]() I’ve been playing video games for decades: Atari, Coleco, and Intellivision consoles of my youth gave way to computer gaming. I played competitively online in massive tournaments before eSports were a thing, mostly first-person “shooter” games but also raced everything: stock cars, Ind圜ars, rally cars, sprint cars, British Touring Cars, and, of course, drag racing. EV3 DRAG RACING MOD APK 3.0 238 PCįrom marathon sessions with the blocky breakthrough Dragster game on Atari 2600 to serving as a beta tester and technical consultant on Tantrum Entertainment’s first PC version of NHRA Drag Racing and its subsequent PlayStation port, I’ve been strapped in and wheeling away for years. There is no current console game for NHRA Drag Racing (2007’s Countdown to the Championship was the last, I believe), so that’s why I’m focusing on mobile games, of which there are plenty, and they’re all free and perfect for knocking off a few passes while waiting for a haircut. Like drag racing, they’re consumable in quick bursts no committing yourself to a 50-lap race or anything. Dragster Mayhem | Developer: Minicades App store User rating: 4.3 out of 5 This was the first serious, drag racing-dedicated mobile game that I remember, and, for a while, all of the cool kids from the nitro ranks like Morgan Lucas and J.R. Todd were playing it and comparing times. To me, it's held up pretty well and I play it often. How it looks: The graphics are pretty decent and the sound is great. The default camera view is from behind the car, which works pretty well, but there are five others, including a pretty good in-car mode. I played this game for weeks before seeing a tiny, opaque camera icon on the top right of the screen to change the view. The tracks are nicely rendered and the header flames, tire smoke, and guardwall-bashing sparks all look very nice. Despite the name, there’s no real mayhem involved such as crashes and no blown engines or wounded parts. Game modes: The game offers both single-player or multiplayer modes. Single-player pits you against computer AI opponents while multiplayer sets up real-life opponents, though finding a match can sometimes take a long time due to lack of users. Game play: Choose between four events, which are actually difficulty levels with higher rewards going to success in the tougher levels. The player must use the on-screen throttle pedal to perform a burnout in a Top Fueler with the goal being to get as close to 100 percent as possible on the sliding scale on the side of the screen. Too hot or too cold will affect your run. The car will then auto stage and you mash the gas when the Tree turns ( psssst: go on Yello). The trick then is to steer the car down the middle of the lane by tilting your device. ![]() This can be pretty tricky as the car tends to get a little loose downtrack and sometimes it feels like a white-knuckle needle-thread. and speed are displayed after every run (though some of those e.t.s are pretty outrageous see above), as well as the amount of money earned. Like real drag races, each race consists of a maximum of four rounds. Leveling up: There’s no tuning per se, just a chance to continually improve your components - chassis, engines, and tires, up to 16 levels each - with your prize money and buy a new car and helmet paint schemes. You also can buy a one-run “blueprint” for a crucial round but it’s all pretty pricey. ![]() Like the man says, “Speed costs how fast do you want to go?” In-game purchases: You can get 20,000 credits for just $2.99 and a million credits for $19.99 and many steps in-between. ![]()
