    Great classic game 👍

    Ah the nostalgia. I used to play the crap out of this game. Loved all the upgrading and racing for pink slips.

    Ah yeeeeeha on the 386 pc with 5.25" floppy discs. Until we got a 486 with 3½-inch disk and CD-rom oh drool…
    I had a spin last week. Oooo midi sounds, well nearly.

    Cheat: Buy the town runabout (basic transportation), strip the transmission and engine, sell it for 6000 or 6500.

      Oh yes the 486 with a sound blaster. Who would think we could get voice out of a computer 😛

        Did use an Amiga at all pre 486?

        Quite a few games had decent sound back in the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9nD9DQwd80

        • Ramrunner on 26/02/2025 - 13:17

          Amiga smashed the PC for gaming for so long. Not the fastest processor but with the aid of the blitter (graphics) and custom 4 channel sound with samples was way ahead of the time.

          But didn't really push into the business market. IBM and clones did. And that's all she wrote.

          Amazing machine for it's time though. Sux it lost out.

          Kept mine as long as I could but both my V20, C64 and A500 are long gone now :(

          Before that had a 386 with a cga monitor. Maybe me timing is off but the first game remember with voice was Death Race

      Such a good find!!! Thanks OP!

      If memory serves for the cheat - you buy the second cheapest car. Once stripped it’ll sell for almost any price you put in

    • Dune on 26/02/2025 - 13:01

      Just to be clear, the “town runabout” is the 1949 Chevrolet selling for $475 in case anyone is interested at all. And you can sell it for $30,000. There are other cheats around.

  • noslappers on 25/02/2025 - 00:01

    I tried it for 5 secs, how do get full screen? what resolution do you guys use? Did you use the scale function?

    • rhino86 on 25/02/2025 - 00:07
      +6

      Squelch it.

      Native res is 320x320 guys monochrome, green or amber screen days. Dos box: Alt + Enter for full screen

  • BlahBlahBlaah on 25/02/2025 - 00:02

    Do the cheats work?

      Yeah man I am not one of those kind of people who post trash.
      Ok ok I might be known to post some dumpster trash games…

    Nice. Working with Magic Dosbox Lite on Android

    Super nostalgia there

    Phew, just in time. Was so close to pulling the trigger on this one.

  • putshan on 25/02/2025 - 01:29

    I don't know if it's part of the nostalgia or my internet but the images are loading pixel by pixel like back in the day…glorious!

  • CodeExplode on 25/02/2025 - 01:40

    I imagine anything like this has been freely available on abandonware sites for years?

    Spent many many hours trying to beat this only to crash in the aqueduct every time lol

    “You’ve just won a helluva car!”

    8yo me - what the heck is a helloova(helluva) car?

    20yo me - oh snap, hell-of-a-car!

    • Corgsta on 25/02/2025 - 08:16

      🤣 For me it was wondering what pink slips meant. Figured it was some way of meaning that I won the other guys car but yeah.

      Awesome game, spent many hours playing in the early 90s. Didn’t take long to figure out what the best car was and what mods it needed to be fastest. Holley carbs or something ☺️

        Dual Tunnel Rams, Fuel Injection (Ford), or Supercharger (GM or Chrysler).

        If you run the 2.0 ratio diff you can perfectly time the lights and run a 9.6 second pass on Weds drag night qualifier where it bugs the game and you get a 5 second favourable handicap during the actual drag. Top speed tops out at 124 MPH.

        I always ran my cars with no muffler so they were noisy straight-piped. I also ran 99% worn tyres during the drag races so I could blow the tyres and pull a hectic sideways drift over the finish line lol.

        EDIT: Street Rod 2

        • Corgsta on 25/02/2025 - 12:02

          lol @ sideways. That's certainly something I'd do. First thing I ever did in games was test smashing and busting things, or running over people. So destructive.

          Yeah I'm talking SR1, I don't think I ever played 2. Never too late to start!

    Seeing this made my day! Top post OP!

    I remember playing this as a kid, feeling like I was really sitting outside that diner with those hotshots passing by, taunting and wanting to race.

    That opening music is forever burned in my mind, pre-sound blaster. Speaking of which..

  • Kiro on 25/02/2025 - 09:33

    wow this takes me back.

    hell of a ride having a crack at this again lol, lost the touch and just blowing trans and engines.

    Downloads 700kb File

    Teens: "Is this a PDF file?"

      Username checks out! What a game that was - only ever played on my friends' Amiga. Damn those are worth a lot these days.

      Yeah re 700kb - a Word doc with a paragraph is as bloated as that nowadays. Downloading Adobe Acrobat is something like 400MB now. Those software engineers need a lobotomy!

      • AlteredBeast on 25/02/2025 - 19:38

        Hahaha absolutely!

        Nothing beats the 80s/90s

    I wonder if driving a hotted up Oldsmobile would get more or less chicks now than back in the day

  • kungfuman on 25/02/2025 - 16:21

    ok time to fire up dos box :D

    can you put this on a amiga formatted floppy disk? because I still have an amiga 500.

    • rhino86 on 26/02/2025 - 01:36

      Only if the amiga supports / runs MS-DOS v5 or v6.x
      Damn I wish, I wonder where my C64, Amiga 500, 486, NES, SNES, N64 all went. Even my celeron 300 overclocked to 450…. I bet some bugga threw them away while I was moving house or kept them.

      Otherwise find an amiga game site such as this one: https://www.myabandonware.com/browse/platform/amiga/

    • bamzero on 26/02/2025 - 01:37

      I believe you need a special disk drive controller to write the ADF file back to disk using PC but if you can transfer it to the Amiga you can write to floppy on there.

      Also have an A500, a C64 too, sitting in a box somewhere around here…

      • Popo on 26/02/2025 - 12:25

        I have a Compact Flash in my A1200. It has plenty of storage. Boots into WB and click on the games. No disk drive abuse. Problem is the sound is starting to play up…maybe a dry solder finally showing signs of age :(

        • bamzero on 26/02/2025 - 12:59

          Loading from floppy adds to the nostalgia though 😄

          Pity all my floppies got chucked years ago…

  • Jacket10 on 25/02/2025 - 17:12

    Any modernish games similar?

    Need for Speed Underground 2 maybe?

    Something with car mods, racing and pink slips

  • Hurg on 25/02/2025 - 18:05

    Pink slips!

    Older than most Ozbargainers.

  • Salmando on 26/02/2025 - 21:53

    Yoo.. great games. Play them every couple years. 2 should be better, but the simplicity of the first is king

    We need a modern version where you fix up cars from the 90s, using parts from Facebook marketplace…
