- Nostalgia for Papyrus's original Indianapolis 500 sim 1997-02-21 · 21 postsA poster reminisced about playing Papyrus's Indianapolis 500: The Simulation on a 286 around 1990, prompting many others to share memories of it and of Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge. Participants recalled wrecked cars staying on track, the interactive pit stops, Adlib sound and how hard it was to beat Bill Elliott at the big tracks. Some suggested old features such as cars returning from the garage should come back in current Papyrus sims.
