[NovalisimBergwerk]

int16_t score;

[BobSfan1]

This is where it all started for me because this was the first version I played. It's hard to believe that was almost 25 years ago. Now I play Test Drive Unlimited 2. My 10 year old nephew actually thought that Test Drive Unlimited was the very first test drive game. But I set him straight.

[WegrennerX]

Amazing, the graphics just keep getting better and better! It's like real life

[GummoNZ]

Playing this as a kid I thought learning to drive was going to be so hard, seeing how much I crashed.

[martoMADDOG]

That was strange, the version I remember playing had at least 3 fuel stops (one was called 'Fuel King' IIRC). nice driving though.

[bustsomecaps]

awesome played this game when i was a child so its awesome

aynone who thinks its gay nibble my taint.

[MikeMetalhead11]

omg this game is the last sith -.-

[KongoXIIV]

Hey, at least it had cockpit view! How long has it taken GT to get to that point? :-p

[MorreskiBear]

Yeow. No kid would tolerate this framerate today.

[1xWertzui]

@MorreskiBear I do. When I first saw this game I stopped laughing and thought "what the f**k this old shit is capable doing things like this?"

[FlashFWD]

My best score more than 40k

[Keyo717]

I can still hear my GF at the time yelling for me to come to bed....lol

[spajsboyz]

this game have v.good graphics for a C64! pseudo real 3d, and good engine sounds

[shaantitus]

"Nice job. Keep the car. Go home."

As a child, life was so simple those days :)

[korgpadude]

omg memories

[Hoge74]

This seems like drunk driving, but it was great!!! All i remember was broken windshields....

[TheElephant79]

HOLY SHIT - THAT BRINGS BACK THE MEMORIES !!!

[robotface74]

i loved crashing in this game in the arcade just to hear the music.

[ronezca]

omg, das war mit abstand mein absoluter liebling aufm c64

beim intro bekomm ich noch gänsehaut und feuchte augen :D

[MrDoctrina]

race feeling vom feinste, heute spiele ich lieber ps 3 gran turismo lol. irgend wie cooler.

[CartmanLandZ]

sound :o

[Akaitsuki85]

they just dont make em like this anymore do they? :D

[BattlefieldDoktor]

Ich hab mir immer am liebsten den Lotus Esprit ausgesucht. Ist aber gut und gerne 20 Jahre her, haha.

[camouflagemaxi]

I love this game so much. I love the c64 till today soooo much!!!!!!!

[jogtp99]

I won't let you drive my car lol.

[SirBranco77]

Diese Longplays sind alle mit WinVice History Funktion gemacht. Das kann jeder.

[DerSchmu]

@SirBranco77

Hui, welche eine Erkenntnis.

Das steht auch dick auf der Seite, Sherlock.

[TeamFaustGamesDE]

@DerSchmu Welche Hast Du Deine Sprache ;)

[tausendstein]

@SirBranco77

Was ist das ?

[1xWertzui]

@SirBranco77 Wer kümmert sich? Es ist gut these spiele in ganze zu sehen.

(entschuldigung für mein schleschtes deutsch)

[Bruinpena]

Almost went for perfect until that last turn. Personally you got hosed on that play. How are you supposed to not crash?

[hol9672]

to stay at the middle of the road, so that he can avoid cars in both lanes?

[attackm0de]

i was playin this @ age 18 and beat it drunk :)

[magnat007]

I always used the Lotus or the Lambo

[BertisEvil66]

you are very good !!! much better than me

thanks for sharing this !!!!!!!!!

[nightmathzombieethan]

Gotta love that old-school equivalent of

"Analog" steering....

[ika6667]

holy that's some gnarly playing man!

[CitroenC407]

This was one hell of a game back in the day... used to absolutely love it. Great achievement for a C64 in fairness.

Thanks for uploading this :)

[celepaska]

NFS really *sucks*

All series.

[TheOldschool81]

@celepaska

Need for Speed one for PC does not suck. neither does NFS2.

[1xWertzui]

@celepaska Just a little fact: NFS1 is made by EA Canada, formerly DSI that made the first two Test Drives too

[gorizius]

i didnt love it but it was a MUST!! 5/5

[dannyfsr]

me too, i was only very young when this was out, so no good at comp games. im 27 now

[NOCARRIER416]

awesomely played... all I've ever seen when playing this game was a cracked windshield for many years.

[SandpiperN121PP]

I used to play this on my Commodore 64. I actually only beat it once... and I was quite drunk... so who says drinking and (Video Game) driving don't mix! Awesome Video! Thanks for the memories! :)

[BaxBmw]

Damn real oldschool game. 5 stars!

[MadsterV]

these graphics where quite a feat back then.

To this day I wonder how they did it.

[blekyno]

no oldschool broken window? :( :D

awesome game

[pawel1818]

yea best part of first TD games

[Laggero79]

Ahaha, awesome to see that again. And the Music kills...

[razertt]

almost like nfs undercover

[GeeFunk84]

It's the other way around. The development team later went and created "Stunts" and in the mid-90s "The Need for Speed". If you played the first NFS and the vintage TD games, you'll notice that the whole gameplay of NFS "Head to Head" game mode is "stolen" from the TDs. Later, the NFSU was a success because it incorporated the gameplay of "Street Rod", another C64 classic.

[o0trance]

this looks hella boring

[maiki60fps]

I remember when I first saw this game 18 years ago. I was so amazed by the deep commodore sound (beating crappy PC speeker several times) and the graphics especially when entering the gas station. Owning a Spectrum in that time I also admired the fact game was being loaded from famous 1541-II with characteristic noise and flashing. A real C-64 classic presented here.

[YekAdameRadif]

SKILLS

[tribeisone]

TD I & II BEST game that C64 ever had

[SenTora]

It was because of this game that I fell in love with the Ferrari Testarosa.... and the Lamborghini Countach.

Great memories

[OCPrunsthecops]

I remember just for turning an inch I would crash hahaha

[cloudskipa]

Considering what the devs had to work with, this was a surprisingly great conversion. hehe

[ballebanan]

I loved those times. I had this game, and on tape even. :D

[HazardousJo]

love it

[uggla03]

i had this liked the manual mode where you moved the gearstick

forgot it was this crap lol

[tetranoob]

I remember (i think) test drive 3 where you could land your car on the back of a moving train. It must have been on the pc cos it was 3d. anyone remember this?

[thedragcrim]

Long time since I played this classic.

[jkeelsnc]

Great game! I played this all the time.  I think this emulator is running in PAL mode which slows it down a little versus what I remember playing on the NTSC machines. But whatever mode, it is an awesome game especially for the day! :) My favorite car was the Ferrari! :)

[rektorgomezhsg]

Holy shit! :O

[Metallicakicksbutt]

Yes before the Gran Turismo era the only place you could drive the cars of your dreams was Test Drive. Test Drive is actually one of the oldest surviving franchises. New titles are released to this day.

[jalllupalllu]

Holy shit! Nice driving!

[Sinco77]

this game back in '88 was considered a top graphics game, a real visual experience!

[feldstecher]

GOTT WIE GEIL! ich erinner mich! MEIN FAVORIT!!!!

[anybodyelseNOW]

i never saw the end before... lol...

[Sinco77]

Neither do I. Thank God by the way, I always thought the game had more scenarios, not the same boring one. At least you could change cars...

[superallye]

LOL the sound of the skid is like a harmonica.

[JoshSkelton]

That's exactly what it is like to drive a real Ferrari. EXACTLY.
