Runabout 3: Neo Age is an open-ended racing game where the racing isn't restricted to strict tracks and the player can choose their route, as the races are mostly driving from point A to point B. Like in the previous games, you don't really have to drive clean and crashing everywhere while winning the race is not only allowed but also encouraged as there is points to be gained from destroying various objects.

The game plays similarly to previous incarnations where you race through streets, this time destroying target objects and then heading towards your destination to fulfill the objective. Fun, wild and out of control, Runabout will appeal to masters of destruction who seek road thrills and have a desire to break any and all traffic laws ever drafted.

There are over 20 different vehicles to drive with and over 30 missions which range from simple races to checkpoint races and "deliver the package"-missions.

Features:
Wanton acts of destruction gauged and rewarded
Drift Crash Point System--make it look good and earn rewards
Over 20 vehicles including tanks, coaches, JCBs, fire engines, limos, monster trucks and speed machines
Over 30 deliveries and missions to complete
Play every mission differently with each vehicle
Crunch cars to unlock rewards--upgrades, new cars and useful items
For 1 player

  MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

A little Runabout takes on a whole wrecked perspective.

Go anywhere. Smash anything that gets in your way. In Super Runabout 3 it's not always about driving well; sometimes it's about getting from A to B by any means. If it involves taking out a few cars, buses, fire engines, taxis, delivery vans and telephone boxes, or jumping a few ramps, making a few shortcuts, then so be it.

In New York everyone's got his or her own way of making dough; unfortunately, you--a delivery driver with his hands dipped into the sleazy side of life--have to do it the hard way. Pick up packages; don't ask where they came from, only where they're going. And when the police are on your tail, lose 'em or crunch 'em.

High Octane Mangled Machinery - Every step of the way. In some of the craziest vehicles ever!

Some of the most whacked out mayhem and stunts ever seen.
Wanton acts of destruction gauged and rewarded!
Drift Crash Point System – make it look good and earn rewards – no one likes to see a poorly timed crash.
Over thirty deliveries and missions to complete.
Unlock rewards – upgrades, new cars, and useful items.
Over twenty vehicles to play with – including tanks, coaches, motorbikes, taxis, JCB’s, fire engines, monster trucks, F1 cars, stretch limousines and speed machines – each with different strengths and weaknesses - play every mission utterly differently.
