>The worst?  Autobahn.

Btw.. a couple of weeks ago I got in this talk with a girl I met on
the train. She told me her job was beta-testing racing games for a
software company. I got all e***d ofcourse, untill she explained she
was beta-testing games for Davilex, the company behind all those
Autobahn games..

For the Al Jr game - the PC one, I take it?

I remember the NES one a lot more...played that game waaaaaaay too
much....ultra-simple, but come on, it was a NES...best part is, it was
closer to an F1 sim than a CART sim. ;)

Sticking to my console-gamer roots, there's also Bill Elliot's NASCAR
Challenge...I might have to buy a NES and those two games since those are
the only two NES games I've seen that STILL can't be emulated.

servers for a bit.

Actually, the Autobahn I'm referring to did not
come from Davilex.  (I'd have to dig out the CD to
see where and that is more work than its worth.)

My favorite Davilex game has to be Vakantie Racer.

Grand Prix Legends. Just a bunch of stupid old cars, and far too slow by
today's standards. What the hell were they thinking with this game? Did they
really think we wouldn't notice that F1 racing had changed dramatically over
the years! The only way this game would work, is if they'd call it "Grand
Prix Killers", and give the drivers some guns so they could all shoot each
other (or themselves...) during the race.

I'm off to play Mario Kart now, best sim ever.

Which emulator do you use?  I know that Nesticle (which was abandoned
years ago) won't play them but all of the ones I've tried recently
that are still in development play them flawlessly.

In another story, someone at work sold me a NES in mint condition with
4 controllers and around 300-400 games for $20.  Yep, $20.  It will
look nice next to my atari 2600 and the dreamcast I picked up last
week.

Hmm, can't say I've ever tried any emulator other than NESticle...love the
name, hehe...though I should really try another, since yeah, I know,
NESticle is long-abandoned.

That gets my vote.  It was the worst attempt at a real sim i've ever seen.
