]]> 11 Feb 2008 05:50:23 Blast Corps (or Blast Dozer in Japan) is a video game for the Nintendo 64 developed by Rareware that was released in 1997, in which the player must clear a path for a truck carrying a pair of defective nuclear missiles, called the Missile Carrier.

Two defective nuclear missiles are being moved to a safe location for a controlled detonation. However, they start to leak, and the carrier they are onboard is automatically set onto a direct course to the detonation site. As the course takes it through many built-up areas, there are many obstacles on the way, and a single jolt could be enough to detonate the missiles and trigger a nuclear winter. The Blast Corps demolition company is given the task of clearing the route for the carrier and its missiles, to avoid a catastrophic explosion.

There are a number of Demolition vehicles in the game. Each has a different method of demolition, from the Ramdozer, which is just a simple bulldozer, to the J-Bomb, a robot that flies up to stomp on buildings. A number of smaller vehicles are also available, primarily used for the race levels, consisting of a police car, a hot rod modeled on the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard (complete with signature horn), a sports car modelled after the Grand Torino from Starsky and Hutch, and a duplicate of the van from The A-Team.
