Test Drive By Accolade (Commodore 64)

Year is 1987! Is the game screen moving or me? j/k. Hands up who remember playing this back there! Respect! This is the first of the Test Drive series made by Accolade. Personally this was my first of the 'Realistic' type of racing games that i used to play back there. In this game you have to shift and use clutch by yourself and watch not to break your engine with over RPM! This is the game that really got me into racing games. This is a short video driven by me. All original audio. I crashed my Lambo once.. yep.. i'm a bit rusty hehe. Small delay with the sounds.. sorry :)

punkmoney123, you just hit the fail button hard.

Not a single 8 bit computer used MIDI. MIDI is digital data, you know they control lights with MIDI? Itis just data sent over cables to things that interpret it.

Just because music sounds similar to .mid files you download off the googlemachine doesnt mean its MIDI.

Look up FM synthesis, and wavetable synthesis...

christ.

All of these old computers used chips that generate a few waveforms and have some envelope control.

The Title theme is based on the guitar riff from "Drive My Car" on the album Rubber Soul by The Beatles.

I got 'Test Drive 2: The Duel, my hand is still up though. Waited an age for a brilliant game to load up.
