I remember playing this a long time ago on a 286. Did you know there is a glitch which allows you to accelerate much faster (up to 255mph). With manual transmission, shift up and hold the shift up key and pump the gas. It will quickly accelerate and go up to 255mph and if you go over it starts from 0. :)
Man I've played this game so much when I was younger haha.. I see this for the first time since then and now I realize how unrealistic the game was. Still nostalgic though
I played this game to death on my amstra PPC 512. CGA graphics on a 9 inch monochrome LCD screen with 1000ms of lagging motion blur, that's how I rolled! And yes, I tried to drive to the mountains and yes, the music was cool! And yes, when I played it on the schools computer with SIXTEEN COLOUR EGA I got a boner! (well almost!)
I can't seem to run this program. I used DOSBOX, but after typing "main", nothing really happens. Can someone tell me how to play this game on W7? I have the program folder (375 kb)
I remember doing some crazy time on this track - it was something like 57 seconds - the trick was to stay in 5th gear round the last hairpin. god I played this game to death!
The fun thing is when I played the game as a kid, I saw things in the shape of the maps. Brazil looked like a Jet-ski, Britain was a big headed bird (its tail is at the arrow), Monaco was a snake, Germany was a butt (sorry :( ), Canada looked like a seal, Italy was a sock, Usa was a lying dog, and Japan was like a flying seagull.
Wow this is the firs time I see this game in colour... I played it when I was 7 on my 186 with yellow and black monitor... Brings back the memories...
i remember that i've tryed to go to that mountains, after 30 minutes i was exactly in the same position and the road was jost on 50 metres from me. lol
on PC, i found a great bug. While accelerating, hold the "gear up" key pressed, and sometimes release & press it again just after. You should not change gear, but your speed will keep go up. I reached 250 with the McLaren. At 256, speed returns to 0.
Great game, I think it was actually the very first racing game with progressive damage modelling. Oh wait my bad that would be Lombard RAC Rally. This also BTW released in 88 not 87.
I PLAYD IT I 1993!!!
