- Test Drive is a driving/racing simulation published by Accolade. You are involved into illegal street races, and the goal is simple: get through the five stages as quick as possible. Before performing your "test drive" you're asked to choose one of the five cars: Lotus Esprit, Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 911, Ferrari Testarossa and Chevrolet Corvette. All of them have their own looks and driving characteristics. One thing these cars have in common: you're asked to shift the gears manually! To avoid speeding tickets (that will cost time!), you have to keep an eye at your radar detector, or just make sure you drive at least 120 mph. But be aware of sharp bends filled with potholes and take care of the oncoming traffic on the left side of the road. A crash easily occurs! Watch your steering, and avoid all obstacles including cliffs on the right and the ravine on the left. When crashing your front window will break, you will loose one of your limited lives, and you will loose time since you have to accelerate again. After each of stages there's time to either measure your heart beat or stretch your legs. Your gas tank is being filled while your racing time, average speed and rewarded points are shown. The first stage is short and easy but the next stages become more difficult. Bends become sharper, while radar detector activity combined with hard traffic circumstances keep you concentrated more and more... www.c64-wiki.c...

The Chevrolet Corvette in driving mode should have - according to the car specifications in the beginning of the game - four gears plus one overdrive. Instead, while driving there are only three gears available plus one overdrive. This can be considered as a bug, because the gears and other details of the other cars are corresponding with the specifications.--

Awww... the good old memories, where the credit screens were most often more exciting than the actual gameplay
The 20min wait for that driver window to roll down 🤣
I loved this game back in the day. I always drove the Vette. The challenge was that I only had an old Atari 2600 joystick to use on my C64 and that made this game even harder. Still was a lot of fun.
Yes, yes, yes. Exactly what im waited in decades. I just remember playing this as a kid.
Fuckin' good old days 🫡
The version I played as a kid looked slightly different, iirc...
I never saw how good it looked on the C64, on my PC it looked pretty crappy 😂. Thanks!
Still way better than the PC version I played then I was a kid, the digitized "Accolade presents" is nice :) Impressive what the C64 could do, the graphics is really playable. Cool video for a cool game. Thank you !
@Damion Manuel That´s a nice story, thank you for that :)
Amazing: D: D: D: D: D: D Journey into the past: D THX !!!!
I used to play this.
What BS how that cop ghosted through the truck at 10:19. Still, good run through. Now we need somebody to give a playthrough in the Porsche and lotus
Boy, we have come a LOOOONG way in the world of gaming! 😂
Nostalgia. Nice driving 👌
Nice 👍
You mention that the Corvette is not programmed according to the specs. I wonder if that is just a bug or if they hadn't finished with it when Accolade said, "Ship it. It's done "?
Data at 3:20 fits the 1985-1986 specs.
1987 models were listes with 240 Hp (+10) and 345 lb-ft (+15) ... not a significant change.
Oh love this too
I think I counted 3 frames per second.
@Damion Manuel The PAL C64 was actually only 0.985 MHz processor 😂
Watch out for oncoming traffic.
I had this on PC.. I was death bringer with a top score. I used a Lambo..1989-90.
