TEST DRIVE (AMIGA - FULL GAME)

Zeus presents Test Drive (un-emulated) for the Amiga A500. A true classic from the golden era of amiga gaming which must not be forgotten alongside the software house and all programmers that were involved in making this game.

Year of release: 1987

When i first saw this in the shop on the Atari st, i was blown away, don't forget most of us were still heavily using our 8-bit machines, so this was a huge graphical jump and was one of the few reasons for me like others to make the jump to a 16-bit machine.
A year later i sold the st for the cool miggy and this game was even better mainly because of the bassier engine noises.
This really was a big deal back in the day, there was no other driving simu like it, it even had the added touch of seeing cars & vans you've just passed in your rear view mirror.
At high speeds it can get a little tricky trying to steer out the way from oncoming traffic especially if you are trying to overtake someone, so timing is crucial.
5 stages to get through with a certain amount of lives and if you make it you get to keep the car :-)
Classic game and a gem to have in the collection.
I have used a slight cheat in the game, if you keep hold of the fire button without steering, you will automatically turn the corners and stay on the road, HOWEVER, you still have to avoid the other motorists and the cliff walls otherwise you die!, so it's a tricky cheat.

Hope all you Amiga fans enjoy this upload.

Please note: NONE of my game uploads are emulated in any way whatsoever, they are 100% original recordings by myself taken directly from the original hardware the game was intended for, that way you know you're watching the real thing.
I will also always state weather i am using any cheats in the game, if not mentioned then i am not using any.
