Getting the game running... I've downloaded it from here(Abandonia) but I keep getting the message of not compatible... find out whether it's a 32 or 64bit system and contact publisher. Any ideas on how to get past this so I can play this game again? Thanks. |

the best start what is the best way to start? already with rpms on the start or from zero? I was trying several possibilities and sometimes i started almost as good as the king, but cant really repeat it. |

when you double click your volume control panel it has a "PC speaker" slider in it if it doesn't go to options and make it visible |

Is there anyway you can turn off that annoying sound? The one that the computer makes without speakers? It gets on my nerves. I know you can stop the music by clicking on the radio, but all the other sounds are still there! |

awsome this game rocks! Im competing with my friends in trying to finish it as fast as possible. so far my record is exactly 400h (about 30min)! I've found that the best way to complete it fast is to buy a cheap piece of junk and do it up for the rest of the money. Race this piece of junk only for pink slips (dont tune it or do anything to it at all) till you have enough dollar to buy the '63 corvette. Keep racing the corvette in drag mode (having stripped the bumpers) and only do it up if you notice "the king" in the opponent list. When he pops up you have to restore the car so that its new (also save the game at this point). Make sure it can do 130mph and youre guaranteed to have a 500h time o less! |

Man, how I liked that game  The racing part sucked, compared to games like Test Drive etc, but the "pimping" and tuning was a lot of fun... Maybe I'll try out the second part, never had a chance to play that one... |

It seems you are trying to run the game in plain Windows. I strongly suggest you use DosBox instead. You can download it here. |

I thought of this game a few days ago, and looked to find it on Abandonia, just for nostalgia's sake, and i really enjoyed playing it again!! I beat the king in 718 hours (game time, that is. I suppose i played about 2 hours real-time). Anyone beat that? ;-> First, buy a cheap car, upgrade as much as your bankroll allows you to. Try to win a road race. You don't want to race for anything less, because you need the money, and racing for less will cost you more money than make you; besides, you can't really afford to lose anyway, so why not win the big prize. During the first race, you might want to note the order of turns and obstacles, this can give you a big edge when cutting turns and might save you some crashes. If you won one race, choose the fastest car of the two, sell the other one, sell all parts and upgrade it as far as possible. If it goes 125mph it's good enough. If not, you got to be a little bit selective about your opponents. Win a few more pink slips, make some money and make sure you always have a car at hand that runs about 125 or (preferrably) more. If your car is really fast, you win a few drag races (this should be really easy now, so don't damage your car more than necessary). If they don't dare to race you for 50 bucks, just race for fun. At this point money shouldn't be an issue anymore. Make sure your car runs 129+, because you're about to race the king. (-: A few notes about racing: When passing your opponent, always "gently" bump into him, as this will slow him down and makes passing him easier. Don't get too caught up in this. ;-> As mentioned: the road is always the same per game. Note for the turns on which side you want to end (eg, if a turn left is followed by an obstacle on the left side, use the turn to get to the right side of the road, if the obstacle is to the right, keep the inner side of the turn). Listen to your engine, it'll tell you when you're ruining it. Also, the racing transmissions are way fastest, so in a fast car you'll have to shift manually. Stay out of the 'red' except for the beginning of the race, where your main goal is to take the lead. At the rest of the race, your goal is to keep your speed as high and constant as possible, without wrecking your car. If that's not good enough to beat your opponent, you've got the wrong opponent or car for this opponent. |
