I just had to try it, so thanks Raphael for the link.
Running XP, so I loaded it up using a boot disk, as I struggled using Dosbox
without reading the instructions, but only got PC speaker sound.
Well, it reminded me of Gilligan's Island, no phones no lights, no motor
cars, not a single luxury, like Robinson Caruso, Primitive as can be.
My, have we come a long way guys. Makes ICR2 seem like a real piece of art.
Never the less, this thing still feels like fun. Nowhere near as refined as
ICR2, but the feel is still there. Could not work out how to get the mouse
working, (does the PC version support mouse).
Took it for a few laps using the Keys, after 6 or so laps I pulled a 45.78
don't know if this is good or bad :-)
I like the bit where you touch the wall and the whole screen just flashes
red and yellow squares :-)
Looks like it is done in 16 colours? Must have been out around the same time
as the Old 8086's and EGA monitors?
Would love to have a crack at it with the logitech. :-)
Tried drag and drop with Dosbox and got it going with emulated adlib sound
.... thats better ... but only running in a window now .... Is that the best
you can get using Dosbox?
Funny how even back then, for the limitations that he had to work with,
he still made a sim that gives you the sensation of speed that most of his
sims have so far.
Well that was fun, I might just go and relax in a hamock now, have a slice
of Coconut cream pie and see if Mary Anne will give me a massage. :-)
