7 posts by 6 people · 10 May 1997 - 13 May 1997

Hello All, I was wondering is there any drag racing games for the PC and where I can get it. Maybe we can talk papy into making a drag racing game. That would be cool. Please help, Adam

I don't know of any dedicated drag-racing game. Monster Truck Madness has some drag race circuits, and there are also some drag-race tracks for Interstate 76 (but it's really basic, it doesn't time races or anything). Joe
Hi, There are NASCAR, IndyCar and F1 sims, I think a drag racing sim would be interesting. You could constantly changing weather conditions from round to round, so you would have to constanly adjust your car for each round. I would also like to see a world of outlaws sim, that would be very cool! (more mud than MTM!). I made a reaction time simulator when I was in my grade 11 computer science class a few years ago. It's on a 386 in my old high school however! (maybe I should write a new one!) It actually worked preety good, I had the slowest reaction time of all my friends, (but I could just say, well... I made the program!). Just one of the many constructive things I did during CRS class! I used to make random sound generators that annoyed the whole class! (try using the SOUND command in QuickBASIC (does MS still even supply that program???) with a frequence of 12000 and see if it hurts your ears!).

Drag Racing Sims, You could have it based throughout the years, starting with the early days, and right on through to the Heavy 70's with Prudhome, Ivo, McEwen... those funny cars and rail dragsters of that time were super cool, just to see these vehicles on screen would be worthwhile. So you race all the greats up until the present, and as you get better you deal with the changes in technology, weather conditions and track differences. It seems to me that there would be plenty to cover in a decent drag race sim, contrary to the what I imagine must be the official company position that there would be little gameplay. C'mon guys, obviously there is the market out here, at least tell us you've thought about it.. We want to drag! Lets just hope some cheesy company does'nt get ahold of the idea and create a poor version before the talented designers get on it. Raevyn

Exactly! Excellent viewpoint, Raevyn. I would love to be able to race the older dragsters as well as the new. I would also like to see Pro Street machines, Pro Mods, and maybe even drag bikes (although that is probably a bit much to ask). The argument about not having enough gameplay is invalid in my opinion. If they did it right, there would be plenty to do. I would want there to be an option to make it very technical in that you would have to tune your car just right in order to win. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.... IS ANYONE LISTENING (hello Papyrus!!!!!!!!!!) ********************************************** Todd Walker T-Type on IRC Homepage: http://cust.iamerica.net/twalker 1986 Buick Regal T-Type **********************************************
