Thats about right the F40 goes flying by and the TC is pulled over by the police.


Just from watching the video I would say it is the PC version of the game.

My brother has an '86 Coug on GTA: III for PC (Not a TC, obviously).  You can download cars into the game.

omg I remember playing that on SNES about 94-95

There isn't a TC in this, but it's a fun old game. You'll need an amiga emulator to run it. There's a DOS version but the graphics are worse. :D

I downloaded a emulator, and it says something about needing a floppy image to run it or something?

I had Test Drive and Test Drive III for the PC way back in 1992. I distinctly remember playing the original game and always seeing a 1st generation Aerostar with some old blue-hair behind the wheel.
That game was a hoot.

The floppy image is the game. Mine came as 2 images. Just have the emulator load the game and run it from the amiga desktop. I hadn't played it in so long that I forgot how tempermental it is :hick:

I stumbled across a vid of someone on playing it on youtube

Here's the DOS version, it's pretty much plug and play if you have windows.

Buy a car, then sell it at the usual price. Now refuse the buyer's offer, then offer the same price to them again. Then refuse the second offer, then offer the buyer a price of $22,001.
