The first Lotus Challenge on an Amiga 600, I think. I think its proper title was Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge. It was pretty ace.

snap, and what a game it was. splitscreen all the way

My first *real* racing game -- as opposed to the stuff on Atari and Intellivision -- was Indy 500. The trick to a hotlap was to use the Buick with rain tires... I had F1GP as well, but it was called "World Circuit" here in the US. I absolutely loved that game. All these years later and I still remember one race with me in a Ferrari at Silverstone. I got way behind after a spin and caught all the way up to the leader on the final lap only to spin in the last turn trying a desperation pass. Looking at the screenshot, it's amazing how I remember the cars having so much detail on them.

That game also destroyed my innocence about the internet. I bought my copy from some kid in Illinois and sure enough, he sent me the floppies with the game, but he didn't send me the manual, and that was how their protection worked back then - "What is the second word on the third line on page 25?" And when I emailed him to complain, he told me he didn't get my money order at all and wanted twice as much to send me the manual.

Well I checked out his story and, fortunately, he had cashed the money order at a convenience store and the security camera had a nice picture of him in the act. So I wrote him again, told him about the picture and said I was going to take the whole thing to his local police department for fraud. I got my manual, but the internet was never quite so free in my mind after that...

Wow... I had a Vic 20 and got a magazine which had the code for a Star Trek game in it. They said you had to have it absolutely perfect or it would exceed the 3k memory limit. So I spent hours typing it in and.....it didn't work. Messed around several more hours trying to find my mistake and never did.

Need For Speed 2 is the first car game I've played. I was just stunned by the beauty and performance of the McLaren F1.

That was the worst game of the series

I was shocked an appalled at how choppy its graphics where and how sad the game play was in general to no 1.

TOCATouring Cars Championship... i admit it was a great game and that's where i learned racing

Gran Turismo 2

[Quiggs]

Top Gear for Super Nintendo


It only had 4 cars. I usually drove the white one. It was the slowest, but it had the best fuel mileage. And that was good enough to win most of the races.


And it had a sick late-80's, early 90's Japanese techno soundtrack.

The first car game I ever played was this, and I still have it in my CD-ROM collection. It was a fine game then, and still holds up well now. I bought the predecessor (Network Q) and the successor (Mobil 1 Rally Championship). I still hold Mobil 1 as perhaps the best computer game I've played.

Now, I have had experience with all the GT series, but find solace in 4x4 Evo 2 and Cars, surprisingly.

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge or Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge 2 on an Amiga 500. I used to play two player games with my best friend. Fun, fun, fun.
