@campeona5 I remember playing this on my Atari 800XL computer back in the 80's............I loved Pitstop and this sequel. But man try listening to these noises all day long, make you feel like your're gonna have a seizure!!
The days of colour rotation to make the track look like it's moving by, sprite cars and a basic scrolling background. This game was excellent in it's day with a split screen capability to play your friend, I spent many an hour on this.
This game makes me think of The Great American Cross Country Road Race. Those names at the end of the race makes me think what characteristic people look like.
@Sharptooth100 The Great American Road Race was an excellent, and to this day underrated C64 game! It had strategy as well as arcade features, and the way they got across different parts of the States was amazing! Then you had the day/night cycles, and how the traffic got worse if you entered a city during rush hour! Thanks for reminding me of this great game!
@Warwickherbert1976 grande stavo per dire la stessa cosa! con i miei amici facevamo il campionato e ci scrivevamo classifiche e risulati sui bloc notes! ahahahah che tempi felici
@longornohappomatto Uguale!Belin quante mattine di Natale in pigiama al computer...c'era anche un nome di donna tra i piloti...che sballo oggi se lo sognano un gioco così
On 2 player, the 2nd player was always at a disadvantage as the first car you came to was alway on the left of the track and you would have to hit it or slow down. Me and my sister used to play this and spent most of the time trying to pop each other's tyres.
The best bit about this game was the comical pitstop and changing the tyres plus refueling...it was really advanced cool game but a bugger when your tyres popped if you kept hitting the kerbs and your opponent.
I first played this in about 1986 when i copy off it from someone and i fell i love with it! that would have made me only 12 years old :) Time does go quick but such a BRILLIANT game.
All the kids in the neighbourhood played this one, but I practiced hard and by the end no one could take me. Led to a long virtual career spanning Test Drive and all the Grand Prix series lol...
i remember playing this game for hours fab
