Lake Hartwell is a man-made reservoir bordering Georgia and South Carolina on the Savannah and Seneca Rivers. Lake Hartwell is one of the southeast's most popular recreation lakes; the lake is created by Hartwell Dam located on the Savannah River seven miles below the point at which the Tugaloo and Seneca Rivers join to form the Savannah. Extending 49 miles up the Tugaloo and 45 miles up the Seneca at normal pool elevation, the lake comprises nearly 56,000 acres of water with a shoreline of 962 miles; the entire Hartwell "Project" contains 76,450 acres of water. I-85 bisects Hartwell Lake and makes the area accessible to visitors; the Flood Control Act of 17 May 1950 authorized the Hartwell Dam and Reservoir as the second unit in the comprehensive development of the Savannah River Basin. The estimated cost was $68.4 million based on preliminary designs. The original project provided for a gravity-type concrete dam 2,415 feet long with earth embankments at either end, which would be 6,050 feet long on the Georgia side and 3,935 feet long on the South Carolina side.

The 12,400 foot long dam was to be topped with a roadway 24 feet wide. The main dam was to consist of two non-overflow concrete sections on the right and left banks 887 feet and 940 feet long, respectively. Full power pool was designed to be 660 feet above mean sea level. At this elevation, the reservoir would extend 7.1 miles up the Savannah River to the confluence of the Tugaloo and Seneca Rivers. The reservoir would cover 56,500 acres and would involve the relocation of 3 sections of railroad totaling 2 miles, the raising of 2 railroad bridges, construction of 6 sections of new state high- ways totaling 19.6 miles and 9 sections of county roads totaling 12.7 miles, the construction of 9 new bridges and the raising of 4 existing bridges, the relocation of 2 power transmission lines. Construction of the Hartwell project took place from 1955 and was completed in 1963, and construction of the dam started in 1955 and was finished in 1959. Lake Hartwell is named for the American Revolutionary War figure Nancy Hart.

Nancy Hart lived in the Georgia frontier, it was her devotion to freedom that has helped make her name commonplace in the Georgia upcountry. A county, lake, state park and highway among others, bear her name; the Droughts and water levels of Lake Hartwell: 1989 was the first year the lake hit a level 3 dropping to its lowest level during the drought that year. 2008 was the second time the lake hit a level 3. In the year of 2008, due to severe drought in the southeastern United States, the lake dropped to over 22 feet below its normal water level in December 2008; this revealed old highways that were underwater, exposed islands that are topped with buoys to warn boaters, left some boat shells sitting on dry land. The Lake reached it lowest level, 637.49 feet, on December 9, 2008. The highest lake elevation was 665.4 feet, reached on April 8, 1964. Overall the average lake elevation is 657.5 feet. As of the first of October 2010, the lake was back up to just over 654 feet; this rebound in lake level is due to releases from the lake being suspended for a month ending April 10, 2009 in an effort to return Lake Hartwell to normal elevations.

The area around Lake Hartwell has a rich history, much of the land seized from the Cherokee Indians and colonized by early settlers. Many streams and recreation areas have been named after these early settlers. Issaqueena, a young indigenous maiden who rode to Fort Ninety-Six to warn settlers of an attack named some streams. Along her journey, she marked her travel by naming streams that she encountered for the number of miles she had covered. Issaqueena named Six-Mile, Twelve-Mile, Three-and-Twenty Mile and Six-and-Twenty Mile creeks, which are still a part of the lake today. Other historic figures that lived around this area were Andrew Pickens and John C. Calhoun, both statesmen from South Carolina. William Bartram traveled the area recording vegetation types and plant species; the first challenge was in August 1956 when Mrs. Eliza Brock and her daughter refused to allow workmen to come on their property to begin clearing for the reservoir area; this involved 103 acres of land that the government gained ownership of in June 1956.

Mrs. Brock never received the offer for her land therefore refusing to allow them on her property. After delaying construction and after an October 1956 federal ruling, Mrs. Brock settled on $6,850 for her property; the next challenge took place in late 1956 when Clemson College objected to the damage that would be done to its property as a result of the impounded water in the reservoir, including plans that would flood Memorial Stadium. After countless meetings Clemson settled on an agreement where two diversion dams would be built in the vicinity of Clemson College and rechannel the Seneca River. Since its construction, Hartwell Reservoir has provided good fishing habitat for many species. Bream, smallmouth bass and largemouth bass are occurring species in the lake, with quality fishing available for those species; the most popular fishing on Lake Hartwell, has be

Cyber Speedway is a 1995 racing video game developed by NexTech and published by Sega for the Sega Saturn. The game was called Grand Racer, but was renamed to avoid confusion with another early Saturn game, Gale Racer, it is a spiritual sequel to the 1993 computer game CyberRace. The game had different soundtracks depending on the region: one by Nextech's Kohji Hayama in Japan and Europe, another by rock band Bygone Dogs in the United States. Cyber Speedway received mediocre reviews. While critics remarked that the graphics are good and that the two-player split screen mode is a welcome treat given that the Saturn's flagship racer Daytona USA is single-player only, they found fault with the gameplay the hovercraft handling. Rad Automatic of Sega Saturn Magazine argued that the vehicle's lack of traction is an inaccurate depiction of hovercraft physics, while a reviewer for Maximum felt that the hovercraft concept was a poor one to begin with, since hovercraft handle identically on all surfaces, making for "a predictable, tedious ride."

A GamePro critic commented that the game was fun to play but lacked longevity, since all the tracks are easy to master and elements such as the crude cinematics in story mode limit the game's replay appeal. Next Generation reviewed the Saturn version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, stated that "Gran Chaser is good fun, if not all together great." Cyber Speedway at GameFAQs
