INDY 500 is not a good game. Only one race, and the game is too realistic: if
one car crashes, you have to wait for three minuts until the race restarts.
Also, the car is very hard to control.
Masterpieces:
-------------
1) EMERALD MINES
2) POPULOUS
3) SENTINEL
4) BOMBUZAL
5) SPEEDBALL 2
6) SWIV
7) KICK-OFF 1 & 2
8) STUNT CAR RACER
9) CADAVER
10) SHANGAI
11) FALCON
12) TURRICAN
13) LOTUS TURBO ESPRIT
14) SUPER HANG-ON
15) SOLITAIRE ROYALE (Don't laugh, I play it regularly !)
I have all these games for a long time, and I always play them. SHANGAI,
EMERALD MINES and SENTINEL were some of the first games available on our
machine and they are still top games. KICK-OFF is certainly the game I most
played.

>INDY 500 is not a good game. Only one race, and the game is too >realistic: ... I suspect the same preferences are why you list Falcon and I prefer F/A-18. The flight dynamics of the F/A-18 are far superior. Falcon puts the emphasis on more missions. It sure is good that we can each choose the type of program we want.
