Gameplay will be similar to Street Rod fans. You begin your moonshining equipped with Billy Joe's basic and beaten up jalopy wagon. But as you gain more money delivering moonshine, you can spend it on new engine parts and tires at Sam's garage. But constantly being chased by Fat Sam and his men soon wears out the engine, and so as you progress, you will need to buy faster and better equipped automobiles. In addition to standard upgrades you can buy (e.g. new engines), you can also buy a map, which will give better information about the route you should take, and even tobacco (the effect of which on the drivers is fun to watch :)). Unfortunately, though, the graphics palette is a bit too muted, so the game looks quite boring against drab desert backgrounds. It's also too easy to speed away from Fat Sam's minions, and each state doesn't look that different from one another. If you're looking for a racer with unique premise, give Moonshine Racers a try. It won't hold your interest for very long, though.

Note: An interesting anecdote about the game: rumor has it that it's based on the Oscar-winning movie Driving Miss Daisy. Negotiations were close to completion until the movie company saw an early demo from the unnamed software house, consisting mostly of a second-rate Chase H.Q. clone, and promptly pulled out of the deal. Malicious gossip has it that the game later re-appeared as Moonshine Racers. Ouch ;)
