To do so, he sent two of his assassins, Obake and Darius, to steal a time-travel device from Stanford University, and use it to travel back in time to 1977, shortly after Sid Burn's demise. His prime objective: to kill Convoy, and is successful in doing so, after an attack on Convoy's truck results in Convoy falling off a cliff to his death, but Houston, who was with him at the time, survives. After Convoy's death, Lord Clyde went on to finish what Sid Burn started, and no one was likely to stop him.

For the gameplay, picture this: Grab Twisted Metal.
- Add slightly more powerful weapons, plus the possibility to make your vehicle hover or move over the waters and ice.
- Inject it a very heavy dose of highly funktastic music.
- Place yourself in the mid-70's travelling through the United States, from coast to coast.
- You can pick up points from your rivals and upgrade your car!
And to THAT, add nine main characters and 9 unlockable ones, each with different vehicles, special weapons and plotlines as dense as liquid mercury. You can skip the plot altogether but if you decide to pay attention to it I'd reccommend you to pick up it's prequel first, since this game picks up after the endings of the original one.
But wait, there's MORE! On second thought, just go play the game and find out yourself. It's a blast, you won't regret it.
Have fun!
