Race After 1977


Race After 1977 is a game about racing in a post-apocalyptic world. Think Mad Max, but taking place in the 70’s. There’s really nothing about the game that screams 70’s, except of course the title. Racing across the charred landscape of a destroyed world can be a lot of fun, but it’s a crowded genre to be sure. Does Race After 1977 have what it takes to survive?
Race After 1977 puts you into a post-apocalyptic world where people are racing to find the last hospitable place on Earth. The tournament winner will be given the GPS coordinates to this supposed paradise. It’s a threadbare plot, but is enough to get you into the game and working your way through the 5 different circuits. You can quick race if you just want a one run game, but the meat is in the story mode where you’ll race different tracks and need to place high enough in order to move on.
