Reckless Drivin'

So, I've been messing around with the Mac OS X Public Beta in Qemu and I've been trying to find Reckless Drivin' 1.2a. That was the last version to support the Public Beta.
Information about the 1.2a version can be found on Info-Mac Digest V18 #12.:

Reckless Drivin' is a new action game for the Mac. It's gameplay is
similar to it's predecessor, Burning Rubber, a Mac shareware game I
released in 1996. In Burning Rubber one had to drive a car through
2-dimensional levels as fast as possible, leaving as much destruction
as possible on the way.
Reckless Drivin' follows the same basic principle, however, it has
been completely rewritten from scratch, and it employs a new graphics
engine featuring smooth, dynamically zoomed, scrolling 16-bit
graphics. The physics simulation has been redesigned to realistically
resemble skidding and tire tracks on different road surfaces.

To learn how to play the game, click on the 'Help' button in the
Reckless Drivin' main menu, or just start a new game, and see for
yourself.

New in version 1.2a (1/18/2001)
-Fixed the -30561 error many people had with v1.2.

Requirements

-A Power Macintosh or compatible. 100Mhz or more is recommended for
smooth gameplay. To play the game at it's optimal settings, you
should have an iMac or better.
-CarbonLib is now required to run the game. It comes pre-installed
into newer systems. If you have an older system, you can download it
from the Reckless Drivin' Homepage: http://reckless.x2.nu.
-DrawSprocket and InputSprocket are highly recommended (though no
longer required for MacOS X compatibility). These are parts of the
Apple GameSprockets. If you do not have them installed on your
computer, you can download them from the Reckless Drivin' Homepage:
http://reckless.x2.nu.
-MacOS 8.1 is required for the game to run.
-Sound Manager 3.6 or higher is recommended for best sound quality
and performance.
-12 MB of free memory. If you play with the 'Use Thousands of Colors'
setting disabled, you may try lowering the applications memory
partition size to something around 8 MB.

The only actual link I could find is this but, not even the Internet Archive has a copy of it. I did manage to find a copy of 1.3 on the Info-Mac archive but, that requires 10.0.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replaced dead "Cheats" page link with Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) link to old page.

I added v1.5 (aka v1.50) which is what I downloaded way back in the day. And I added the .txt codes for vehicle #s. The "cheat" Link on this page isn't working, if someone else will verify.

leaving as much destruction as possible on the way

That's one way to play, although you'll usually miss out on the time bonuses that way ... but it is strangely satisfying (especially in these days of high petrol prices) to stop you car facing a petrol station and then blast it with a missile.

If you want maximum score, then you have to try to avoid hitting anything else or running off the road.

Played this game for years

Me too! I got so good at it that I could pretty much keep going forever. One of the few games I am any good at playing.

I replaced the newer version previously uploaded with 1.4.4 now, which is compatible to SheepShaver with Mac OS 8.1 or newer installed (playing this in SheepShaver would need a really fast host computer, though).
