OT: Anyone remember this old arcade game?

Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat! God, me and my friends used to pump quarters into this one like mad. It only came to my mind, because I just found it for MAME recently. Geez, that brings back memories. Any of you have a favorite old arcade racer??

I have the ROM of the NES version of that game... what a classic! I really like the Daytona USA arcade game actually (I know, I'm a heretic. hehe). Reason being... I'm the only person I know that's ever won a race on the oval against the AI (using the term loosely) on that game. :) ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

Congrats! You were able to survive the AI that are dumber than the Microshaft CART Precision Racing AI? It's amazing how stupid they are, ain't it? hehe ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

I think my driving sim roots were in Pole Position. Man... many, many quarters and I didn't even know what Suzuka was back then. My absolute earliest memory was this Atari game (can't remember the name, can anyone help?) that had little cars and a viewpoint from above and had several selectable tracks and could be played head-to-head. There was this great track that was like this <ASCII art warning> ____________________ / \ | | \ / \ / \ / | | / \ / \ / \ | |\ / ----------------------- All you did was pin the accelerator and spin the wheel (wheel went all the way around) as fast as you could one way then the other. The car would perfectly slice around the corners. SB. -- "PHendrix27" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat!

Same here with Pole Position at arcades and at home, as well as Hard Drivin' and Spy Hunter (ok not a driving game in the classic sense lol) Hell I used to do racing BOARD games. Anyone else remember the old Avalon Hill Indy 500 and the Grand Prix one, I wanna say Speed Circuit ? The Indy 500 game really made me appreciate the scoring in pre-computer times hehe. -- Ken's Sig 3.1 "Who is the more foolish?

I had huge amounts of this stuff as a youth, also (I'm 40) but it has gotten lost through the years. I also did 1:32 and 1:24 scales, too. Any chance of getting you to post some pictures of your setup someplace? If you have no place to post them, i can put them up on my website if you like. ~daxe

God, I remember spending hours plainyg on my C64 some racing game, I only wish I now what it was.

How 'bout the arcade indycar 'Virtua Racing', head-to-head? Hard Drivin' was another favorite of mine.

I had Accolade's Grand Prix Circuit for the C64. The box had a picture of a blonde with the reflection of an F1 car in her sunglasses :) very cool. I also had a lot of fun with Stunt Track Racer on the C64, though that wouldn't be categorized as a sim. Actually I still have the disks for the C64, though the cpu died long ago.

Yup! That's the HO racing I remember! Crap, I just gave my age away! hehe. Barry Clay | | That's not way back.

Can you post a scan of it to alt.binaries.simulators.autos?

Anybody remember Enduro for the Atari 2600? It was night driving game (simialr to Atari's Night Driver). You basically had approaching headlights coming at you in regular patterns that you had to avoid, but they came faster and faster. I guess that was stare-of-the-art back then. A former co-worker of mine also had "Turbo" for the Colecovision, which used a wheel and pedals. This was back in the mid 80's. That's goin' back some now. Bert David Boothe wrote:

That was my first "sim", on the Amiga. I remember there was one crazy Japanese AI driver. He would always stall getting off the grid at Interlagos, causing a pile-up. You had a choice of a Willilams, a Ferrari, or a McLaren, if I remember correctly. Dave Ewing -- ***************************************************** David A.

The Indy > 500 game really made me appreciate the scoring in pre-computer times hehe. I had an Avalon Hill board game called "Le Mans". It had the Le Mans circuit as well as Monaco drawn on the infield. You had cards for each make of car (Cooper, Jaguar, etc.) that told you how many spaces you could move in the various gears, the braking characteristics, etc. If you tried to go real fast into the corner (using "hard braking"), you rolled dice to see if you made it. If you crashed, you then put little markers indicating the corner was now wet/oily for the next guy, which would increase his chances of wiping out. I loved that game! Unfortunately, my mom must have given it away (along with a small fortune in baseball cards). Dave Ewing -- ***************************************************** David A.

Have a look at http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/3941/index.html They have "Speed Circuit" maps of all the current F1 tracks and host a regular season championship. -Ferdinand-
