Uridium, Paradroid ( Andy Braybrook)
Revs, The Sentinel ( Crammond )
Green Beret, Rambo, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Terra Cresta, etc
In fact, almost any of the Ocean arcade conversions programmed by Dave
Collier, Steve Wahid and Martin Galway (Respect for stretching the c64
there!)
Monty on the Run, Thrust. Excellent gameplay and extremely hummable
Rob Hubbard soundtracks. Mmmmm...where's sidplayer, now...
Dropzone (Archer Maclean)
Pitstop 2
Racing Destruction Set (AriolaSoft) - Wow. Major begging needs to
start to get this one converted to modern versions. In fact, we
should start an Open source project for this one!! Variable vehicles,
terrains, gravity (planetary settings), rudimentary setups, etc. Not
bad for early 80's.
Kikstart 1 and 2, Trailblazer and its sequel - (Shaun Southern)
Amiga
Stunt Car Racer, Sentinel (again), F1GP - Crammond
Bombuzal (Tony Crowther)
Deflektor (Gremlin Graphics)
Lotus 1,2,3 & Supercars 1 and 2 - (Shaun Southern, again)
Datastorm
Archer Maclean's Jimmy White's Snooker and IK+
Wheew.
Sorry for the rambling post... Hope one or two of you got a good
memory from it.

To steer vaguely back on topic. Did anyone *ever* beat Richard
Petty's Talladega on the C64. It was easy to come 4th on a full race,
but to get a podium was damn impossible. Sore thumbs before you hit
anywhere near the end!
Also fond memories (although a lot more recent) of attempting full
distance races in the original Indy500 (amiga version using a mouse as
controller)
I also remember playing Test Drive 2 (The Duel) way into the night
with a buddy of mine and saying "One day, you'll be able to watch the
replay of your race through traffic from any angle!" Sounded pretty
far fetched at the time. Wonder what of my current speculations will
be true 5 years from now. My current fave is picturing a racing room
with 4 roof mounted projectors being a 360 degree panorama of your
racing experience. Hell maybe some rich folk have done this already!
On Tue, 8 Apr 2003 19:42:01 +0100, "Iain Mackenzie"
I remember that I got a couple of disks with games from a friend back
then. One of the games was Test Drive 1. I loaded the game, and while
loading I saw a screenshot from within the car. You could see the
dashboard, the wheel..
While waiting for the 10-minute load I said to my friend 'One day,
you'll be able to play a racing game with a***pit view'. Untill
then, all racing games I had played were only playable from the
outside view, like Pitstop, Pole Position etc.
To our amazement, when the loading was finished, the screenshot
started to move and turned out to be not a drawn picture, but it was
the game itself! Back then the graphics of this game were totally
amazing.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, maybe it's because every game
released back then was fresh and original, but one thing I know for
sure: I had a lot more fun playing games back then..
Man, I'm 30 and I allready start to feel old :(
