I remember that game. Another game in which the steering was not intuitive. You had to imagine you were in the driver's seat to know which way to turn.
I miss videogames having awesome and creative soundtracks. Everything these days is so boring, cliche, orchestrated crap. It's so mundane, does nobody have any creativity anymore?
that's the one i was thinking of. man i wasted so many hours as a kid with that game, i still remember all those tracks. though i preferred the later Super Off-Road with the trucks. having jumps in the course and upgrading your vehicle was great
Off topic but did anyone else have Pit Stop for the Commodore 64. That's the one where your tires and stuff would start to wear (ware? frackin homonyms!) out so you had to pull into the pit stop and then control all these little dudes to fix up your car.
Loved that game.
Yeah, my cousin and I used to play all the time. The tire wear was well done, and the overall balance was great. There were a number of races where the guy who used up his tires a bit to go faster was right on the edge of not making it to the finish line. Was it Pitstop, or Pitstop 2?

Wholly crap I remember that game. Now. The back tires would get a colored line and whe it got to red you had to make a pit stop or else.
Remember Raid on Bungling Bay or Bump n Jump, or Lazy jones or Lock n Chase maybe that as intellivision. Night Stalker ruled as well. or Tron Deadly Discs...Astrosmash. Those games were the SHAT. I remember Auto Racing where you could drive off the track and get onto all the other tracks.
The guy responsible for Raid On Bungling Bay is the same guy who created The Sims and who is doing Spore (which another thread is talking about).
