Second in Konami Dream's [[Phreaking|phreque leak]] series was ''[[error|Matrix Racer]]'', a [[NESticle]]-fueled ROMhack mutation of the [[NES]]'s flagship racing platform, ''Rad Racer'', which was covertly released piecemeal on various [[UseNet]] BBS posting boards by resident hacker [[error|fantom_limb]] (later known as [[error|S.O.T.A.]]). The hack features significant manipulation of the game's character graphics, or sprites, and the addition of a poetic and disturbing final cinematic cut scene. The game’s files concealed an illegally rendered high quality .mp3 of "[[error|Pole Position]]", a textural rap track featuring introspective lyrics by the rapper [[error|Aeon Flux]], modular synthesizers by [[error|BARCODE]], and a swirling stew of electronic percussion and sound effects.
