Email me at [Edited] if you have the answer..... Thanks in advance
Use the space bar and/or enter key -- one of these two buttons are linked to shifting up or down in correlation to the accelerator and/or brake.

Anyone remember this?


And I also had a similar graphic game but rally. It even could become night/dark!
was really fun!


If anyone can tell me of a Racing Rally game with the old graphics or Test Drive with old graphics please do
You might be thinking of Lombard Rally RAC ?

Ripperian I recently get back to Test Drive 1 and I found the controls are a disaster. I didn't remembered like this. This was like this or maybe is a dosbox problem?

Test Drive II was the most fun. Test Drive III was fun for exploration, but not the race.

bowserchomp The first three Test Drive games are a rather mixed bag.

Test Drive has horrid controls. Tap tap tap to go, tap tap tap to steer, and what buttons was it again to gear shift? Very tedious.

Test Drive 2: The Duel was much better, it was a good driving game for its time, but why couldn't they have Ad Lib sound in the DOS version? Otherwise, the only half-way decent Test Drive in my opinion.

Test Drive 3: The Passion is just a terrible, unplayable driving game. The steering is an exercise in utter frustration as it's a struggle not to veer off of a road and into a tree. The game's speed is CPU-dependent, which is pathetic for 1990, and also tied to the frame rate. The "proper" frame rate is too laggy to be unplayable, but if the frame rate is increase, the game just goes too fast. And the music and sounds are just pure cheese. Just listen to the police siren, it just makes me laugh or annoyed depending on the volume level. Squeeeeeeeeeeee-squeeeeeeeeeee-squeeeeeeeeeeee! Sounds just like nails on a chalkboard!

Alexis78 I like Test Drive 1 in...CGA!

Was one the few that I played in CGA and I like it and gets very adicctive.
Like a surprise like Red Baron, this is in EGA too, but first try was in CGA...

I like the phisics, that thing that if you run too fast sends you to the cliff, I like it! And to try differents cars, the Testarrosa was the best if I remember it well, and the Lamborgini Countach chasing it near.

I remember finding the keys to go up in a gear, or to go down, and finally finding 2 keys to up and down gears without pressing too many differents keys, better to press key number 5, then key number 6, 7,etc. And to press repeatedly the key direction to force the steer to move, great game!

This game impressed me, almost all the CGA games bored me.

caspa_dfg Hello,

I'm pretty new and searching this Addon for Test Drive III.
I found no Information about the FTP, so can you help me find it?

Thanks

caspa


edit: Well I found it on another Site.
But why don't you offer it in your Tripple Pack?

zirkoni Sounds like "Test Drive III The Passion: Road & Car 1 Play Disk". I have the archive, guess I could upload it if it's approved?

EDIT: Uploaded on FTP.
