The Duel Test Drive II
was my very first driving game
in 1989 and I was about 9 yrs old. The
game comes with one course and cool cars
Porsche 959 and a Ferrari F40, but 4 data
disks add California, Europe, more sports
cars, and muscle cars - a theme continued
in the current version. The game is only
1-player, but you can race against the
clock, or against a computer driver. You
even get to choose his car. Racing is
done on civilian roads, but rather than
time counting down, you have a number of
lives, with an extra one for each level
completed. Points are awarded based on
average speed and difficulty level, with
penalties for crashing or being stopped
by the police.
The most awesome is to stop at the petrol
station because other driving games don't
have this feature.
The first thing you will notice after you
begin, is the very dated graphics. One of
the good things about the game, is that
each car has its own cockpit design,
engine sound, and handling. I think this
must be the first ever game to do this!
The game takes a little getting used to,
since the steering wheel turns slowly,
and braking is slow but only if you know
what speed you're doing. Sometimes you
will crash when you thought you could
scrape through.
The Duel Test Drive II is still a great
game! |
