I don't see a version 1.3 at the game's homepage. 212.66.81.79 00:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- I downloaded what appeared to be 1.2 from FilePlanet and it turned out to be 1.3. — Jeremy | Talk 04:06, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where this would go, but it is interesting trivia: Although the game refers to Molotovs, it would be impossible for them to bear this name considering the time setting; the phrase 'Molotov cocktail' was coined by Finnish military for their petrol bombs after the Russian invasion in 1939.
- From the Wikipedia article about Molotov Cocktail: The heavily-outnumbered Finnish Army, facing Red Army tanks in what came to be known as the Winter War, borrowed an improvised incendiary device design from the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War; <-- This was during the build-up of WWII, during the "Winter War", which took place in 1939/1940. This proves that the Molotov Cocktail has been designed during 1936-1939, and that it was used again during the Winter War in 1939/1940. The Winter War article states that "it gained fame" as "Molotov Cocktail" (during the Winter War), considering that the Winter War took place in 1939/1940, the term was not known in 1930-1938 (Mafia); the device was known from somewhere between 1936-1939, but the name Molotov Cocktail first existed in 1939/1940, so I think you are right. If you think this is worth mentioning, please add it to the article.

should it be mentioned the trolley driver is relentless and coldly runs you over if you're standing on the tracks, without doing so much as to lift a finger to slow down? Or in freeride, mobsters in vehicles who are provoked rev their engines to 100,000 RPM? Great, intelligent fun game. Swatoa 07:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- I hope you realise he trys to slow down, but to attempt and succeed to slow down a trolley going at high speed is extremely hard in the 1930's and 40's versions.

The racing mission isn't hard at all, not even on the 1.0 version. It took me maybe 5 tries the first time, and now I can win it easily, no problem. You just have to brake before most corners, and tap the arrow keys (if you are using keyboard). Don't keep them pressed down, and don't keep the accelerator pressed right after a corner; tap is with short intervals. Piece of cake, try it yourself. Will be harder for people who are used to games like Need For Speed, which aren't real racing games.
[edit] Sequel
Will there ever be a second sequel of this beautiful game? --195.210.216.199 12:05, 5 November 2006 (UTC) How? it would have a shitty storyline, without Tommy = gay
[edit] Does anyone know any information on the vehicles in this game
Does anyone know what vehicles are in this game, what the hell is the Lassiter made from, did they just make that up.
Well, i think they based them on real-life vehicles, but they just made up the names. ("Bolt Ace" is baced on the first Ford car)
I know that, thats obvious its a Ford,but I mean I know that the Silver Fletcher is a real car, but it is not called that, do you know what I mean now, what are they based off of, like Bolt=Ford, what does a Silver Fletcher =
