It's a motorcycle racing game with a full motion video backdrop. Video in the game is handled with 4 files per animation:

	* .COL file: color palette, always 776 bytes (2 32-bit ~~numbers~~ followed by 256 RGB triplets)		* .COL file: color palette, always 776 bytes (32-bit size and some other 32-bit number followed by 256 RGB triplets)
	* .FRM file: ~~unknown~~		* .FRM file: first frame data (32-bit size followed by RLE data)
	* .HED file: header data ~~including~~ width and height ~~and some other information~~		* .HED file: header data (32-bit number of frames, 16-bit width and height, 32-bit method ID, optionally followed by 32-bit sizes of frames in .VID file)
	* .VID file: ~~the size and extension of this file indicate that it hold the raw video data~~		* .VID file: subsequent RLE-compressed frames

	Since this is from the same company as [[Soul Hunt VID]] it ~~may be~~ the same ~~or similar~~ RLE format ~~but split into several files~~: <code>~~.HED~~</code> ~~contains general header and frame sizes for~~ <code>~~.VID~~</code> ~~data~~, <code>~~.FRM</code> contains RLE opcodes while <code>.VID~~</code> ~~contains colour values for RLE copy operations~~.		Since this is from the same company as [[Soul Hunt VID]] it employs the same RLE format: <code>00xxxxxx</code> means copy following 0-63 bytes from the stream, <code>01xxxxxx</code> means repeating the following pixel 0-63 times, and <code>1xxxxxxx</code> means skip 0-127 pixels.
