'Hot Chix 'n' Gear Stix' is a high adrenalin 1970s chix and muscle car racer. This is another of the outdated games from Small Rockets released for free to the market, since they don’t support Windows XP or Vista. From its name you can guess that this is a male oriented game and it could even be offensive for some women.
The game goal is to become crowned the hottest chick around by winning every race within the Hot Chix championship. If you don't fancy your chances in the championship just yet, you can practice the tracks using the time trial mode. Here you can learn the best routes and find the fastest racing line without any other cars getting in your way.
The cars and chicks each have their own handling characteristics - so you may want to try them out first and see which one best suits you. Click on 'Car Select' to get into the car/chick selection screen. Use the left and right arrow buttons to select which car or chick you want to control. Once you are happy with your selection, click on 'race' to start the game.
If you're finding the going a little tough, try honing your driving skills in 'time trial' mode. Take into account that you must have accessed a track in championship mode to be able to play it in time trial mode. To select time trial mode click on 'mode select' and click on the left and right arrow buttons in the game section. This will toggle between 'time trial' and 'championship' mode.
Regarding controls, this game is designed to be played either from your PC keyboard, a Steering Wheel, or a regular Joystick. You’ll be able to control everything with a set of less than 15 keys.
