Oh Boy!
You office workers are in trouble today……
Saab: Race Against Time is an online game being used to promote the 9-3 SportCombi. You have to navigate the SportCombi through a whole bunch of choose-your-own-adventure style decisions to arrive at your destination – Hazards Point. Your time is recorded and you can play again and again to improve your time – I told you there’d be trouble at the office!
If you live in the UK, you can even win yourself a SportCombi for posting the fastest time, or some other great consolation goodies.
Here’s a screenshot – click to enlarge.
Get to it people!!
Oh, and I completed the journey in a game time of 3 hrs 34 mins and 53 secs (that’s not real time, people, just game time).
I took about 6 hours on my first run-through. The thing seems to be designed to screw people from the US.
I picked the petrol Saab, and then chose the black pump — no you idiot, that’s Diesel. (Diesel comes from GREEN pumps in the US)
Then I have to parallel park? I don’t know how to parallel park!
I’ve just tried it twice more and got much worse times. And I got mugged!!
You don’t know how to parallel park? C’mon!!
That game is awesome; I will have to try it out some more at home tonight for better times… the time for my first try was 3:29:49. The parallel parking WAS a little tough… I would die if I bumped cars that many time in real life.
Uwbecks – great time. I still haven’t beaten my best time yet. I’m a parallel parker from waaaaay back. We do heaps of it here in Oz, so it’ still a skill to be mastered.
