Racing Games and Emulators

Scrmegl · 07-16-2008

I wanted to find and play some of my all time favorite racing games from "back in the day".

Mainly I was looking for Test Drive, and Test Drive 2:The Duel for the Commodore 64. Sadly I have yet to get those versions to work yet. Just about all the other games there work though. Like Lode Runner!(the real versions) and Beam Rider.

I found a great emulator: http://www.viceteam.org/

and a site with just about every C64 game out there: http://www.c64.com/

I also played around with an SNES emulator.

C64 was a blast for the time so if you remember playing one check it out.

I also ran across an interesting game called: ChevyTech at the C64.com site.
It lets you build and price any Chevy model for the year 1986 and has a financing calculator built in. I thought it was a very creative way to promote your product line before the internet was around. The prices are fun to see when you option out a Monte SS or Vette.

ChevyTech reminds me of that Ford Racing game that ran on DOS, unfortunately the coolest car in there was a Taurus SHO.
