Tonight's timewaster is a simple beer pouring game. But rage also spotted that the classic Death Rally has been freeware for a while now. The basic idea behind Death Rally: win races, gather more money, buy upgrades to your vehicle. In between wreck your opponents, shoot your way through bystanders and keep the pedal to the metal!
