For
the last 21 years the Prince's Trust has been helping people between the ages of
14 - 29 to discover their full potential. Whether unable to gain employment or
just unable to get the same breaks as other people the Trust strives to give
equal opportunities to everyone.

the business the Prince's Trust can help to make it reality. If you have just
left school or college and don't know which direction to take, the Trust can
help. It runs a variety of courses and projects up and down the U.K. covering
every kind of subject.

keep running it needs to raise a lot of money. It does this through high
profile events which it organizes with movie companies, bands and heads of
state. These events grab the headlines and make the public part with it's hard
earned cash. All money from ticket sales pay for the courses and businesses
that the Trust has started.
The Trust is backed by HRH Prince Charles.

explosive collision course of crumple zones and street level slamming. Roll,
spin and flip in real-time. New damage effects where you part with your hood
and wheels before bursting into flames. The full game includes 7 wider, longer
tracks and the ability to pit-stop to repair damage.
Monster
Trucks
Sample this forthcoming 4x4 racer from Psygnosis in this one
track playable demo featuring the souped-up kings of car crushing in a frenzy of
devastating metal carnage. The final product will include 4 massive islands
that allow you to drive anywhere in your choice from the nine available Monster
Trucks. Other features include a car crushing arena, and a nine player
championship.

through.

looking as Lara Croft but the gameplay is as good as Tomb raider. Massive game
