This game is my all time favourite racer, not just for the PC, but for all platforms.
This may sound strange, but the review sums most of the reasons up:
* You can play this game immediately - you don't have to be an expert to play it
* The game is not 100% realistic, but for this game that actually *helps!* because it makes it fast, smooth and enjoyable.
* The game runs on a 4MB RAM 486, maybe even 386 with VGA. It don't need much but it looks good and sounds amazing - those MOD based sounds were great.
* This PC version of the 'Ultimate Challenge' was far better than Lotus 1 or 2, and also much better than similar versions for Sega Genesis/Megadrive etc. I think the Amiga version was almost the same though.
Regardless - this wins my Number one racer of all time. Very addictive gaming that a seasoned racer fan can enjoy just as much as someone who plays it for the first time.
