Yes, I have it. For it's time, it was okay. It actually had Daytona as a
track...wow.

Stop on by, what can it hurt?
Accolade - Test Drive, Pretty cool for it's day.
Accolade - Grand Prix Circuit, also cool for it's day.
Epyx - PitstopII, garbage.
Pole Position, garbage.
Crazy Cars, garbage.
Accolade - Cycles, was cool.
Epyx - 4X4 Off Road Racing.
There were some more but I forget there names as they were actually
purchased at my garage sale.

And dont forget that perrenial classic...... "Mario Andretti's Racing
Challenge". It had a pretty good concept. You start in the sprint cars,
win races and work your way through modifieds, stock cars, indy cars etc.
Marios Racing Challenge, Bill Elliots Nascar Challenge, Indy 500 etc etc,
were all great games in their day, they really bogged down my trusty ole
'286. It is amazing to see how much graphics and gameplay have improved..
If I only kwew back then..........

: I have it and have played it. It is pretty poor, in
: my view. Hard to impossible to keep the car on the
: track, graphics sparse, it should have been returned
: but I hate to put the sales people through that so
: I kept it.
At the time it was all we had for NASCAR. For what it was it was
ejoyable. It did have some major bugs, like being rear ended in the
pits and yellows BIG time. Tracks included Daytona, Atlanta,
Darlington, Bristol, Talladega, Sears Point, Michigan, Watkins Glen.
And if I remember correctly the joystick routine only allowed turning
left. So you could forget the road courses unless you used the
keyboard.
Sure was better than "Days of Turkeys^H^H^H^H^H^H^HThunder" for the PC!
Was extremely happy when Papyrus got around to doing NASCAR justice...

I had BENC for the Amiga. The copy protection for the game was
horrible. They made you look up some indistinguishable track on a
hard to see dark red paper with black track layout. Worse than
anything you could imagine!
As for the gameplay, I found it very "un-realistic" to say the least.
Watkins Glen was impossible, and you had no "sense of direction" with
it. Bristol I think I routinely did 145 mph laps. not very realistic
at all. In fact, I went back to F1GP instead....
