Kart Sims

I'm looking for a decent Kart sim. I have Open Kart and would be hard pressed to call it a 'sim'. It tries very hard to emulate it, but comes off as a kiddie (read playstation) wannabe. Any ideas? BTW, I live in the US so I imagine there are a lot of European titles out there that aren't available in the US.

Hi Mike. Here in Europe, there is a game called Super 1 Karting Simulator. I'm not sure if it is the same as your Open Kart, maybe other people can fill in here, but it was not very well distributed, so it was a little hard to find. Nowadays, I think it is very difficult, but there are some online Grand Prix for this Super 1 Karting. I'm from Denmark. -- Mvh Sven

I found it at Walgreens in Wichita Kansas. Grabbed it for my son and well I have logged more seat time with it then he has. The FA Karts are a blast, well they all are fun but the AI seems a bit better suited to the faster Karts at least for me. The slower ones seemed to be easier to win races with. I would love to find some guys to run Super 1 Karting with online. I am probly slow, but the games a blast. Dave Sven <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3c310563$0$206$[email hidden]...

The best to date is Super 1 Karting. You can download it at http://realguide.real.com/games/?s=game_download&sub=super1karting for about $15 US. Wayne Hutchison "Mike Donnelly Jr" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I could if I had a high-speed connection... :( Darn Comcast, they told me I'd have in in October. I guess they forgot to mention what year... Not that the phone company is much better. They said I'd be able to get DSL by April/May of next year. Wonder *which* next year it'll end up being... On Mon, 31 Dec 2001 20:21:13 -0500, "Wayne Hutchison" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I'd like to thank all who have given their input so far.

I just picked up Super 1 Karting at Electronics Boutique for $14.99 a few days ago. If you look at a thread I started a few days ago ("Super 1 Karting"), you'll see that I had some problems with getting it to run at first-- mainly due to the strange file organization on the CD. I also had to download this patch to get it to load: http://www.gamesarena.com/support.asp?page=games/superkarting But once I got it loaded, everything ran great. Fun little "sim". By the way, if it matters to you, it does not support split-axiscontrollers. Not a killer for me, but I would prefer not having to change my controller settings from split- to combined-axis every time I decide to play it. Definitely worthwhile.

I couldn't have answered that question better myself, David. Well put. Bottom line is that it's fun....... DAVID J ROBINSON wrote:

Not many that are really good, prolly the best lately is Super 1 Karting, by Interactive Entertainment/Midas.... Try: www.midasinteractive.com 8-) *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html
