Hi,
Just amazing history! I’ve been a racing games fan since got my eyes on a Philips VideoPac G7000 in 1980’s, I now have about 130 computers or videogames and several hundreds of racing/driving games (my favourite genre) for them.
I’m really looking forward to see the rest of the pages! I hope you can upload them soon
Al l the best! Keep the spirit up

I actually think you mean Lotus Turbo Challenge II, since there is no races against the clock, turbo options or nice trucks to drive thru in Lotus I (at least not in computer formats)

The old Lotus Espirit turbo Challenge, I had that, and then I deleted my games folder on my 386.
I think I cried then. lol (after that I could only play the trivia games)

hey all, I’m guessing this will be the right place to post a question i’ve been trying to figure out for a while. I’m looking for the name of a game i used to play everyday as a kid.
It’s a driving game, a 4 person one where the players sit around a a horizontal flat screen. The game is more cartoon-ish than realistic. You’re racing different boards against each other or the computer, you pick up power ups etc or hit oil slicks. I can’t remember the name at all, i could sing you the theme tune (will remember that the rest of my life) but that’s not much use in a text based forum obviously.
any ideas? this was a classic. I was probably playing this around 88-95. never seen the machine anywhere else expect for in Hong Kong where I grew up.
any help appreciated.

Does anyone remember a video arcade game from the late 70s early 80s. It was an 8 player racing game aroung a common video console.
Manufacturer? 8 people would stand around the game with steering wheels and the gas at the bottom (I thing there was a gear shift too.)
I remember as a kid at the MN state fair alot of good memories, battles etc.

Hi all,
I used 2 play a racing game in the late 80’s and early 90’s but i really cant remember the name:
This game is about racing, tuning, buying and selling cars. U start with a cheap car and u can earn money by driving street races against your oppenents, u can also race elvis in his black corvette. Driving for pink slip is also a option. It didn’t had much colours and i believe i played it on a 386. Can u guys help me find out which game it was?
Greetz!
