This was my first PC racing game, I remember that I found him practicing the commands for the D.O.S. that I had learned in my computer class. What memories, at that time I was fascinated with having a game like this on my home PC. For years I wanted to remember the name of the game and today in 2019 I come to find it. Greetings from Argentina.

i remember getting this on like 4 floppies at the time from a friend, and was totally blown away, the funny thing is my old pc at the time ran this sooo slow, it was choppy as hell, but i didn't care, rainy days playing this as a kid...they were great times.

I remember playing this game and keep telling to myself that those graphics with rain and vipers from cockpit view are outstanding. Now playing Driveclub :) It´s really charming how the childish point of view is different. I think today´s kids cannot understand :)

I love the amount of detail put into the weather effects! Very impressive for the time, and not replicated again until recently.

Nice video. I played many times in Lombard RAC Rally on the PC (DOS). In this game I played very little.

This game was as beautyful as unplayable.

I played this game, but also the even older Lombard RAC Rally for MS-DOS :)

Great! what memories of low res games with no physics. If anyone wants to get this running in DOSBox with sound you need to add EMS=TRUE and MEMSIZE=8 to the dosbox.conf file. Sound won't work without EMS memory. Thanks for the video.

Cómo me enviciaba con este juego hasta altas horas d la madrugada 😅 correr con lluvia le daba un toque de emoción

@@gonzalocordoba4270 The feel of the car turning is just wrong. This was the exact the same problem with some flight simulators of this same era; the vehicle seems like it’s sliding on a glass table top. Hidious. No feel of weight, no loose end of the car.. Otherwise, this seems not so bad game.

Wow, I never heard of this one, only played the 1996 game (but played that A LOT!)

i like that liaison system(or time check system or what ever you call it) where it tells you when is your start time to next stage and how long it takes to drive there and you can do fast road side repairs during those. not any other game has this system.

The Colin McRae 2.0 game has it, as far I know

This is the game Shaun Southern dreamt of programming while finishing Lotus III for ST/Amiga/DOS PC VGA. Lotus III was like the Sega Out Run arcade hardware fused with the gameplay of something like the playing style of CMR 1.0 or WRC Arcade on PS1 incorporated into an arcade racing game. The different conditions and road surfaces all affected handling and visibility. Ignore the Lotus brand cars featured in the game that just helped the devs financially to make that game happen probably.

like joker says on "Batman the movie" on 92.. "Were does he get thise wonderfull toys?" :)

Did you set DOS BOX up correctly to run these 1993 486 games like a 486 that is running at 66mhz not 66ghz? Me thinks not.

Game was made for 386 computers not 486 runs too fast as you can see in corners. I used too much DOSBox cycles around 15000 (Slow 486 speeds) making this one to feel more fluid and more fps but again in corners when detail is dropped or low controls/car were too fast to handle, then i tried 12000 cycles which matches the (hi-end 386) speeds it run ok or better in corners but was too choppy low fps. What comes to the 486 66mhz in DOSBox cycles it would be like 25000. Tested with PC-Config benchmark

@@thriftweeds I had a 25mhz 486 in late 1992/93 and a friend who was as prolific with his 'disk swapping' as the worst of the Amiga pirates, we tried out everything on his 386 and my 486 around this time. This game doesn't run quite like that when the rainy stage with grey tarmac footage first pops up (first course stage 2 or 3), DOSbox is a bit weird when it comes to emulating specific old PC setups, I had the same issues when I set it up for gameplay footage capture but even with the same guides things didn't run quite how they did on my old PCs. Today I just run the games as fast as they need to run to improve everything rather than accurately. Still, it looks like you did try unlike most, so my apologies.

@@madcommodore I had 386 16mhz still in 1992-93 then i upgraded to 486 33mhz later, but i cannot remember how this game run on "new" 486 back then , but i remember playing this with 386/16mhz but again i cannot remember how well it run! a bit choppy i guess. I still have "real" 486 66mhz computer and i need to try is game on it. Yes I every time adjust cycles for my games i play on DOSBox. Then there's another PC emulator i use it's called PCem i use if some game doens't work on DOSBox.

@@thriftweeds tl;dr version = PC was pretty iffy for games for me, and DOS was a bit of a shock vs C64 to ST to Amiga 1000 path of progress I was on before, I think Defender of the Crown and Rocket Ranger were better on the 1982 C64 spec than any PC. The only DOS PC I have now is an Atari PC1 (8088 8mhz and looks identical to the original Atari Mega ST). Luckily I did plenty of tests with Amiga 1000 &1200 games and PC games side by side so I can remember my 66mhz 486 ran Lotus III as good as Lotus II on my Amiga 1000 (and the AGA fix crack release runs Lotus III also as fast and smooth as Lotus II). My friend's 133mhz Pentium but not my Pentium 120 (same computer make/model just 120/133mhz option from Gateway) ran Super Stardust using a joypad the same as my A1200. Screamer ran better than Daytona USA but not quite as good as Sega Rally on Saturn on my 486-25mhz If I ran Super Stardust without joystick and used keys it made the difference. Doom ran fine with 1 below maximum screen size (not full screen, that dropped frames) on my 486-25 but I remember thinking it was a boring 1 player game lol. I only had my 120mhz Pentium when World Rally Fever came out and that ran good I think, as good as Powerdrift on my Saturn. I think I tried Colin McRea on PC but that was 233 or 166MMX. SX and DX 386s had quite different performance on games but luckily the cheaper 486SX options ran same as 486DX but I had a really rubbish cheapo SVGA card in my 486. Fatal Racing the Ridge Racer knock-off with stunts ran OK on my 486-25 but not quite as good as my NTSC PS1, and in 480p SVGA mode it was like 10 frames per second. PC gaming was REALLY weird. Mortal Kombat and SF2 were quite nice on my 486, think I still have my disk copies of Super SF2 Turbo (Gametek release) and Super Stardust for PC (which has all the music saved as .MOD files unprotected). Keep up the good work :) I did try this game today, on a 120 inch projected image and the car dashboard/roof+mirror with the guy yanking on the steering wheel was really immersive.....back then I only had a 15" PC monitor lol so not the same effect. I can't remember which PC I tried this game on but I always remember thinking "What? The A1200 version is cancelled because it can't do this but my A1000 does awesome texture mapped 2.5D on the dragon flying levels of Unreal full screen and at the same frame rate?" I also wasn't impressed with Sam n Max or Day of the Tentacle on my friend's 386DX40...I thought it was possible in compiled C on an A1200 with a hard drive. Gravis Ultrasound "S.B.O.S Installed" business was a real pain in the arse back in those 486 days, loads of games didn't support it and even when it did work there was no music, only SFX.

Hello, 0.29 Seconds, Quality Control (ok no roasting me it was quality at the time!)

I remembered the days back to about 1996. My dad launched this game and we didn't know how to play because the control is QAOP. His English is not good and I haven't learnt a single English word......

Of course via DOSBox this is effectively running on a 1ghz 486 so FAIL!

Better than Dirt 4!
