''Matrix Marauders'' is a 1990 racing video game. According to Psyclapse, it is a "superfast 3D abstract computer racing game."

Gameplay

The racing game is set in the future, where the player takes part in a racing challenge, in which they race cars in a speed test to see who can reach the finish-line first. The cars have power ups which can be deployed or fired during the game to aid competitors. There are holes on the tracks which must be jumped over. The screen has an interface that allows the player to lock on to opponents and offers warnings when competitors are encroaching, as well as a navigator that speaks to the player.
