Has anyone heard of this game, apparently by Accolade. I remember the film
(the first one that is) but from what I've seen of this game it has nothing
to do with it.

I have some amusing recollections about the Movie Vanishing Point.

I was 12 when it came out and I went to a matinee at my local theatre. I
was a big kid, so I got in, even though it was rated "R" (17 and up). I sat
way down front and proceeded to enjoy the movie despite all the rambunctious
and noisy kids behind me. Partway through, I realized it was pretty quiet
in the theatre. I turned around and saw there was nobody else there! I got
a private showing.

It was also the first place I ever saw a woman completely ***. There is
that scene where a hippie chick is riding around the desert on a motorcycle.
That was pretty heady stuff for a 12 year old.

I also tried my best to get a Challenger like the one in the movie, but all
I could do was a 1970 with a 340 and a 4 speed and it was yellow and black,
not white.

Great Flick. I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD.

Vanishing Point was like many movies of the 60's. You can run from
the "man" but you can't keep it up forever. Vanishing Point, Dirty
Harry and Crazy Larry, Easy Rider, Bonnie and Clyde...they all ended
with the "hero's" getting killed. Seems like a perfect vehicle for a
sim since I virtually die all the time...:)

Vanishing point is the UK name for N3!
I dare anyone to find a copy before the holidays are over.
