The Sad thing is that I still have that Commodore 128, the Datasette, The
Game and the disk drive stashed in my attic.
Must be an antique by now:-)

Yeah, wasted a lot of time on that game. It had a good 2-player
split-screen game too (or was that in Pitstop 2?).

Did you ever get the Epyx "Fast Load" cartridge? The sum*** actually
worked as advertised, sped up loading like 10x. I think it was
basically a RAM cache and some better firmware programming for the
1541.

What was the name of that other name which looked something like Pitstop II
but allowed you to design your own tracks? A friend of mine had it on his C=128
and he'd brake after a curve, so I'd crash into his car from behind and wreck my
car, then he'd accelerate again and race to the finish line alone...
The name had something to do with electricity, I believe...
