Overdrive is an arcade-style motor racing game which was written by Peter Johnson for the Acorn Electron and BBC Micro and released in 1984 by Superior Software.
Summary
The game was probably inspired by the hugely successful Namco/Atariarcade gamePole Position which was one of the most popular arcade games when Overdrive was being developed. Like Pole Position, Overdrive uses the "rear-view racer format" but there are no bends in the track. The aim of the game is to finish in the top 12 in order to qualify for the next track. There are five different tracks but as there are no bends, the only difference is the change in scenery (fields, night, snow, desert and riverside scenes) as well as a change in the grip.
Points are awarded for the distance travelled as well as a bonus given at the end of each level depending on the number of computer controlled cars that have been passed. If the player collides with another car, they explode and regenerate. This can happen an infinite number of times but it wastes time and many opponents will pass while the player slowly accelerates. It is also common for opponents to crash into the back of the player while they are still accelerating causing another explosion.
Overdrive is the 19th studio album by pop punk trio Shonen Knife. It was released in 2014 on April 14 (U.K. and Europe), April 15 (North America), April 16 (Japan), and April 18 (Australia and New Zealand). The CD album artwork was created by Masahiko Ohno who is known as "Solmania" and there are three different colors for Japan, North America, and U.K./Europe.
The album received moderately positive reviews from critics. Many applauded the band's dabbling in more harder rock, whereas others were critical of the album's musical and lyrical simplicity.
Production
While Shonen Knife's usual sound is Ramones-inspired pop punk, for Overdrive, the band branched out musically and listened to harder rock bands—such as Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Bad Company, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Boston, ZZ Top, and The Doobie Brothers—for inspiration. I Am Tuned Up has described the album's sound as a combination of "edgy guitar riffs with psychedelic 70s-esque enchanting nostalgia."Naoko Yamano reasoned that, because that Free Time (2010) was heavily influenced by punk rock, and Pop Tune (2012) explored a more pop-oriented sound, Overdrive represented an opportunity for the band to explore harder rock. In fact, the album's name is a reference to the overdrive pedal, which, in Yamano's mind, conjured up images of 1970s rock music.
Terminator 2 (Chinese:终结者二; pinyin:Zhōngjié zhě èr; real console name Super Design Ending-Man BS-500 AS) was a video game console sold in Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, India, Kenya and Hungary (where it was known as Sárgakazettás nintendo - Nintendo with yellow cartridges). It was also sold in Italy with the name "top consolle". In Spain it was usually received as a marketing gift for those assisting sales conferences organized by different companies, usually by assisting to a hotel as a promotional tool. It was a hardware clone of the Nintendo Famicom.

Background
This particular Nintendo-clone was hugely popular in Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria,Romania, Pakistan, India, Kenya, Iran and Bosnia, where it has gained cult status, and is still
widely available on auction websites and flea markets. Due to economical restraints, the fourth generation consoles such as the Mega Drive or SNES were not popular in these countries except Bulgaria, where Sega had an official distributor of the Mega Drive. The previous generation remained highly popular, particularly Terminator 2 which was the most successful NES clone. It left a mark in pop culture and 1990s youth, establishing itself as antonomasia for 8-bit video gaming, to the point of being more popular than the original.
James Cameron introduced the first terminator character in the 1984 film The Terminator, featuring a single android simply called "The Terminator", portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. When later Terminator films introduced additional models, some sources retroactively gave Schwarzenegger's character a model number, leading.Herrera
Physical characteristics
Humanoid terminators
In the Terminator universe, a terminator is a formidable "cybernetic organism", robotic assassin and soldier, designed by the military supercomputer Skynet for infiltration and combat duty, towards the ultimate goal of exterminating the human resistance. Terminators are indistinguishable from humans, can speak naturally, copy the voices of others, read human handwriting, and even sweat, smell, and bleed. Because dogs are able to smell the difference, the human resistance uses dogs to help spot them with German Shepherds being the favorite breed. In addition, Terminators can detect their fellow androids and other types of Skynet-related units when they are nearby, as demonstrated in the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Terminator Genisys.
T-Ray is a villain in the Marvel Comics Universe. The character, created by Joe Kelly and Ed McGuiness, first appeared in Deadpool #1 in January, 1997. Within the context of the stories, T-Ray is an opponent of Deadpool.
Per T-Ray's own account he was born "Wade Wilson." He met his future wife Mercedes while they were attending college in Calgary, Canada and they married after graduating with teaching degrees. While vacationing in Maine, they discovered a wounded youth and they took him into their cabin to recuperate. According to T-Ray, the young man's name was "Jack," a mercenary on the run from his employers for botching his assignment. In an attempt to remain hidden, Jack planned to kill Wilson and assume his identity, leaving his employers to believe that Wilson's dead corpse was his own. However, while attacking Wilson, Jack was accosted by Mercedes, and he inadvertently took her life. Jack fled, although the surviving Wilson remained at the cabin until Jack's employers arrived. Wilson agreed to enter their service and he was trained to kill Jack. Due to his craving for additional power he killed Jack's employers, and became an accomplished sorcerer in Japan, transforming into a more muscular albino form and allegedly trading his soul to entities called the "dark Masters"; he realized that he was becoming as evil as his wife's killer, but refused to care.
