PSA - Don't play it in DOSBox. See below for details.
Welcome to the world of Cannonball Run 2177! For more information about the game, visit the Feelies page!
CANNONBALL RUN 2177 is a simulation/management game with many potential encounters, decisions, and opportunities along a 4625km (2875 mi) journey from New York City, NY to Redondo Beach, CA. Game events come down to a limited set of choices - the events that occur, the choices you make, and whether you succeed or fail all depend on your car's loadout, inventory, driver, passengers, and other factors such as weather. Because these factors are constantly changing, you can play the game many times and come across something new every time.
Soundtrack
Bookmark youtu.be/L2mHqbmi_is and hit it up whenever you play, or get it as an mp3 here: https://keysick.com/CBR2177/Cannonball_Run_-_The_Soundtrack_v1.9.mp3

If you have trouble with one of the two windows builds, try the other. Emulated or native may work better for you.
On DOSBox - DOSBox is acting treacherously toward my game; some sections don't load, or the game works for a while, even quite a while, then freezes. If you want the authentic DOS experience, the "Windows" download includes an emulator that handles it without trouble. If you need an emulated version for Linux, I can do that - leave a comment below and I'll upload one. But DOSBox in any of its variants will fail. Thanks.
Status
Web build: UNSTABLE - for best results play a downloaded version.
Windows (emulated) build: STABLE
Win64 build: REMOVED
Linux: TESTED, assumed STABLE

Man, you’re always pushing the limits of ZZT. If I saw this kinda stuff 20 years ago, my thoughts on ZZT would have been much different. This game is great, and the soundtrack is awesome, too! I love the unhinged events along the way. Only downside is that my browser crashed when I was prob 80% of the way through the race, and I didn’t have a chance to save since my only choices were Save&Quit and Abandon… I wish we had a “save and continue” option :(
I've been mulling over having the game autosave every 100 kilometers or something, sounds like that would be a welcome addition.
That would be rad, or even a “Save” point at each rest stop or something?
Done! Autosave every 3 in-game hours and an extra autosave when you pull into a rest stop.
rad! Thanks man :D
Really cool! I almost reached the end on my first run, but it hung a few hundred km away during Event - "The Exposure." It wanted me to press right for Next and it just stopped responding to all keypresses. Playing here on itch.
Lots of folks have hit that scenario, including someone on a twitch stream today that hit it right at the end of the game like you did - no one else had the game freeze at that point. I will add a small note to the ame page about potential conflicts with browser, but I'm not an emulator writer so I don't know that I can diagnose.
Thank you! Ok cool! One thing I was thinking about later is that I hit a few of the other arrow keys by mistake. I wonder if I entered the emergency reset sequence. I'll see if I can test this scenario :-)
Oh no! I shouted "Boyboss mode" at LEO at the end and it froze! Oh well, I had fun before then :D Love the character art!
Thx 4 report. I'll have a fix out - look for 1.04.2 on the title screen
