Dukes of Hazzard Video Game info
Here is some info I recieved from Jeff Archibald about the Dukes of Hazzard Playstation video game.
The Dukes of Hazzard Racing for Home Product Features
Dukes of Hazzard - Racing for Home is a fully 3D, mission-based driving game set
in the same Hazzard County made famous by the popular CBS television series.
Gamers play as Bo or Luke Duke and take the wheel of the indestructible General
Lee or six other cars in 27 missions including saving the family farm, defending
the Duke name and rescuing Daisy -- all while eluding local law enforcement
authorities and the scheming villain Black Jack Perril.
Features:
* Gamers will race through Hazzard County completing missions while
collecting power-ups, keeping the car intact, racing other cars or just racing
against the clock.
* Voices of original cast members Tom Wopat (Luke Duke), James Best (Sheriff
Rosco P. Coltrane), Sonny Shroyer (Enos Strate), Ben Jones (Cooter Davenport)
and Waylon Jennings (The Balladeer).
* Players may shoot arrows loaded with dynamite in certain areas throughout
the game, allowing players to blow out the bad guys` tires, clear the road of
any obstacles and to lose a pursuer and complete the Duke Boys` missions.
* The game`s driving engine allows gamers to perform arcade-style stunts such
as jumping over creeks, power sliding, running road blocks and jumping and
landing on a flat bed trailer.
* Mission objectives include saving Uncle Jesse from masked gunmen to deliver
the monthly mortgage payment to the bank on time; racing for prize money in the
Hazzard Overland Race; chasing car thieves who have stolen the General Lee; and
rescuing Daisy from kidnappers.
* Collisions, accidents and reckless driving can cause damage to each
driver`s car, resulting in reduced performance. Players can repair their
vehicles at the risk of losing time or being pulled over by the law.
* Power-ups provide car enhancements, repair damage, enhance weapons, and aid
in evading the authorities. Power-ups include arrows, high-octane nitro boosts,
toolboxes, and oil slicks.
* First-person cockpit point-of-view and three third-person points-of-view.
* Vehicles include the General Lee, Boss Hogg`s convertible, Uncle Jesse`s
pickup, Rosco`s patrol car, Cooter`s tow truck, Boss Hogg`s Gray Ghost, Uncle
Jesse`s Black Tillie, Black Jack Perril`s Ace of Spades, and the Double Zero
the only car ever to beat the General Lee in an overland race.

including Uncle Jesse`s farm, The Boar`s Nest, Sumner Farm, Possum Hollow,
Kissin` Cliff, Razorback Ridge, Cooter`s Garage, Rhuebottom`s General Delivery &
Dry Goods, and the Seth M. Harley Building.
