Trivia / Fatal Racing

• Dummied Out:
  • The Death Drop track has a curious example of this. It's called "Death Drop". The manual warns you: "Mind that gap!". There is a large flat section full of warning signs. You drive over it and... nothing happens. The mystery is revealed when you unlock the Bonus Cup and discover a sliding trapdoor in the road on one of the tracks, a feature not seen on any of the regular tracks and for good reason: it is severely bugged.
  • The Fly By track is advertised as having two corkscrew jumps, but it only has one. There is a narrow stretch of track with no guardrails and a very wide end zone that looks suspiciously like the developers tested a corkscrew jump there, failed to make it work correctly and decided to simply flatten away the whole thing and call it a day.
• Technology Marches On: The multiplayer part runs on single-segment Novell IPX networks that were commonly used back in the nineties. But today's networks are almost entirely TCP/IP and have multiple network segments. Also, it's an MS-DOS game, and while the original could run fine on a Pentium MMX, nowadays you need at least a Pentium Dual Core to run it properly under an emulator.
