By C64 standards this game would be state of the art and pushing the limits of what was possible with the 64. It looks almost good to be an Amiga game. When we started getting our paws on Amigas in the late 1980s it was a quantum leap in graphics quality.

I think this is one of many I picked up on clearance at Kay Bee toys in the late 80's as the Commodore 128 was on it's way out. I also had Hunt For Red October and some kind of Top Gun game too. Forgot what it was called. I should have never sold my Commodore. Worked great, great colors on the monitor, lotta fun.

@@patsfan4life Yeah, they were tricky like that. They shadowed the BASIC interpreter into the RAM space, so you lost 8kb off the bat. You lost I think 1 or 2kb to video, another chunk of memory to where the SID chip and VIC2 chip mapped into RAM memory. About 8kb lost due to the kernel rom shadowing into the RAM space. You had 4k of memory from C000 - CFFFF, but that was non-contiguous with the BASIC memory. Why I remember all this is beyond me...probably too much time typing programs from Compute Gazette and reading the reference manual

Dave Chiles wrote this game (others were doing ST/Amiga and so on) so it's real 3D (although where are the hills?). He even had a C128 mode which reduced the viewing window a bit but ran the code at 2MHz which made it nicer. What can I say about Dave.... great coder, total nightmare to work with. He had no respect for anyone else which is why we left, joined Core, wrote Thunderhawk and let him slum it.

One of the best F1 racing games ever! It captures the atmosphere of F1 racing of the '80s completely. The game "Ferrari F1" for C64 was also a classic, you could set up your car in every detail, but the simulation was horrible. This was fast, impressive. I would position this game after Grand Prix Legends from Sierra and F1GP2 from Microprose.
