Anyway, the most recent simulation by Papyrus is "Nascar Racing 2002
Season", but it won't really be good on your PC, as it's way outdated (as
mine is, and it's a little faster).

As the official "Historian of All Things Racing Sim"......(and French
poodles).......what was the first "racing game" ever mass marketed? When
was it out....and does anyone have any "screen shots" from this title? I
would love to see this!

Revs+ was also released on the C64/128 platform a little
later and was extremely ***ive. Very immersive and
IMO better than GP3 or 4.

Not sure what video card that is, but it looks like a really old model.
Get a Radeon 8500 or the new 9700, you'll be much happier.

Others have said (and I personally agree) that "Pole Position" is the first
ever racing game mass marketed. Whatever it's a console, a PC or an arcade,
it's the same medium but transposed in a different situation. Anyway, Pole
Position 2 is actually much more known then the first one. Most of the
people here who do have memories of the game is from the sequel, not the
original one.
It's like everybody remembering playing Pac-Man, when in fact they all
mostly played Ms. Pac-Man!!! ;-D

And then there was "Ferrari Grand Prix" by Donald A. Hill, Jr., 1986,
for b&w Macs. The color version (16 colors; no, not 16-bit color) came
out in 1992. It included a track editor (no scenery, unless you count
white fences and green grass -- oh, yes, there was a horizon editor,
too), 8 cars, multiple viewing angles, replay and "head-to-head racing"
via serial. Wore out a mouse or two on that one. We've come a long way,
thank God!

>>Who Remembers Pitstop on the same platform ?
>>You had to fill up your own fuel in the Pits, if you forgot about the fuel
>>filling while you were changing your tyres, it would dump the lot on the

>>Also the tyres would get a yellow stripe on them, then a white stripe and
>>then POOF !!!!
>>Your car would pull itself over to the curb, that was it , end of race,

>>Very frustrating, yet very ***ive game.
>>Broke an average of 1 Joystick per week playing it :-)

8 minutes on a c64 tape deck.
Pitstop2 took 22 minutes and sometimes failed
to load. That (and some karate game) prompted
my first disk drive - a 1541 toaster complete
with disk melting element.
Pitstop 2 was my first chance to race multiplayer
(split screen) .. you could force other players
into mistakes (or curbs ;) and they would have to
change tyres earlier.
