TONKA RACEWAY
Based on the popular children's toys manufactured by the Tonka company, Tonka Raceway gives kids the chance to race one of 30 unique vehicles on one of four different types of tracks designed and built by the player. Cars and trucks created in the Tonka Garage game can be imported for more racing fun.
After signing in on the main screen, you head off to the Announcer's Booth where you can access all the activities. From the Press Box, you can look at the Hall of Fame and print awards and stickers. In the Architect's Trailer, you can design and build tracks while the Tonka TV Blimp lets you see a replay of the last race's finish. Furthermore, at the Upgrades Lab you can improve your vehicles.
Once you're ready to race, you go to the Starting Line from the booth. You can race alone in a time trial, go head-to-head against a friend or take on one of the Tonka Town characters. You have four different types of tracks from which to choose including the wild and slippery tundra, the hot and muddy jungle, rural farmlands or the dry and hot desert. The game comes with these four pre-built tracks and you can use those environments when building your custom tracks.
After selecting your vehicle and the number of laps you want to race, it's time to hit the track and see what you can do! As you race, you can see your current speed, how much time has elapsed, a map of the track along with your car's location and a damage indicator. If you suffer too much damage from hitting your opponents and other obstacles, you'll have to pull in for a pit stop. As you race, you can also grab power-ups that will boost your speed, fix some of your damage, improve your steering or increase your top speed.
You earn credits with each race you win. Use them to upgrade each vehicle's durability, acceleration, top speed and handling. If you perform well enough, you may see your name in the Hall of Fame or among the headlines in the Press Box. As you get better, you can win awards and trophies to add to your legacy as one of the top Tonka racers on your block.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
