Hi there

Great Website guys, I was wondering if you could help me find a version of a horse racing game called Quarter Pole.

Im sure you could probably buy it on ebay but I dont buy off ebay so if anyone has a download for me or anything like that it would be appreciated.

I used to spend hours playin this game and I believe it is the best Horse Racing sim out there on the PC.

If there are any other Horse Racing sims that I dont know about please let me know.

Another Horse racing game is called race the nags and it's under the unsorted section.

I wouldnt want to buy it and not be able to play it.

Erm, did you actually read the game description?
System requirements: Windows® '98/ NT/ 2000/ ME/ XP, 128 RAM min., 300 MHz min. processor, 100 MB hard drive space, CD-ROM or DVD drive, mouse input device, 800x600 resolution min., SVGA color monitors, works with Windows compatible ink jet or laser printers.
So you should be able to play it on your computer.

And Quarter Pole is a 2002 game. Hardly abandonware by any standards :angry:

Er.. I meant the original Quaterpole, not the new Plus version. Direct link (http://www.wizardgamesplus.com/store-products-PC-Software-Horse-Racing-Horse3-QuaterPole-(origional)(CD-ROM)_16544527.html).

EDIT: Heh, just noticed it's Quaterpole, not Quarterpole. :)

I think he was just asking what racing games there are, whether abandoned or not.

[Tom Henrik]

In that case, I am sorry. :tomato:

[krazieballz]

I didnt read the requirements so yea thats great.

The quarterpole game i used to play was around 1995 so its pretty old now.

Cant believe they still sell it.

Any horse racing game that isnt just about betting is what i want.

I like to manage stables and buy horses from scratch.

I probably shouldnt get it because it was that damn addictive for me and ill just get addicted again.

That's the system requirements for the new version, though. The old version had something about DOS 5.0 (I didn't look too closely), so it might not be XP-compatible. Unless you were interested in buying the newer version anyway...
