The Race Against Time

The Race Against Time is a video game in the action genre developed by Codemasters and published by Codemasters originally released in 1988. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC.

The Race Against Time is a game based on Sport Aid '88, a global program of sport, music and carnival, cultivated from the simultaneous worldwide 10K race that took place on September 11, 1988. Millions of people around the world joined the campaign to help children around the world fighting hunger, poverty and disease.

Players take on the role of Omar Khalifa, the legendary Sudanese athlete who has decided to participate. Starting from the El Mowheli relief camp in Sudan, he has a limited time to raise a flag and light a flame on each of the six continents. Khalifa's journey takes him past famous landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, the United Nations, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Mount Rushmore, the Sydney Opera House, the Colosseum and the Eiffel Tower. There are multiple routes on each continent.

Khalifa can collect items to help him reach the locations, but he can only carry one item at a time. He can also get an hourglass that will give him more time. The race ends when Khalifa runs out of time or when he comes into contact with dangers he must face.
