Mobile entertainment publisher Player X has announced that it has bought the licence from Hornby to develop Scalextric for mobile phones. The top-down racing game features a track editor and five different car models. There will be six tracks to race on, and a choice of Championship, Quick Race and Ghost Race modes. Players will be able to race against friends, upgrade cars and save their best times.
"We've been publishing mobile games from the very beginning and I've never seen a game that is more perfect for a mobile phone. The best mobile games have one-button gameplay and that's exactly how you play Scalextric," said Tony Pearce, Player X CEO.
