Cool Computer race game

Anyone enjoy playing computer games. Check out Test Drive 6. In Class I racing, you have an option of racing a 1999 Lightning. And you can give in any color under the rainbow.

Cool

Do they have it for playstation??? I have "Gran Tourismo 2" and "Need for Speed-High Stakes" and both games kick a$$,they don't have L's,but they are great games non-the-less.They have mostly exotic cars,a few domestics(GT2 has Cobra's,the SVT's and the orignal!) and the playability in both is quite good,I highly recomend them. I must warn you that they are highly addictive,and if "Test Drive 6" has L's on it then none of us will ever get anything done!

Thumbs up

If anyone has Need For Speed High Stakes for the PC, I have a down load to add the 99 Lightning. I got it off the net, and it was crude. I got a program to alter the NFS4 cars, and I made it more "Lightning like". Anyone who wants the file, just E-mail me.

Cool

Rusty, don't know if it is the same for Sega. Don't see why not.

Hitman, dont' know if they have it for Playstation either.

I do not have either of those systems, so I do not keep up with them. The game is cool. You get to upgrade the engine, tires, brakes (never use them), and suspension. And you can adjust the suspension for firmness and set the rear axle ratio. Now I need to get one of the joystick wheels.

Christy Ann- Will you marry me? To find a women who dirves fast,drives an L,and plays video games till her "paws were numb for days" is truely a find. So whatta ya say ?

Oldgrnbean- I don't know how to get to the drag strip,but I read somewhere on the net that there isn't one! The company that made it says that the claim that there is a drag track was a misprint!?! So why have the funny car? That just something I read so don't quote me on that. And I would like to know why none of these games have 1/4 mile tracks? It would be a plus in my book.

Yoda-Jerrod(99SVT) has Test Drive for his computer,but I'm pretty sure it is made for all the major systems(sega dream/psx/nintendo),I intend on stopping by Blockbuster to rent TD6 for psx and see if the L is a choice. As for which system is the best...It's personal choice,Sega Dream Cast is the newest,is the most exspensive(over 200$)and has the best graphics.Psx is fairly cheap(bout 100$),good graphics and has many more games than SDC.Nintendo64 is about the same as psx,controls are a bit tricky,and it's still over $100...I think?
It's all preference,sorry bout the length ,

BTW PSX 2 Will be coming out very soon,it's on the same level as Dreamcast.

Hitman,
Yea...I have no idea why they included the funny car. Out of curiosity I drove it on one of the tracks. They really did a good job with it because it corners like crap....just what it should. I did notice that I am missing one track. A friend of mine said he's done the drag racing....yea right....he probably did what I did...Take it on the longest striaght away on the game.
Oh...BTW..Anyone know which race it is that you can win the Tuscan Speed 12? Funny thing is, I've never been much of a video game enthusiast until I got this game. I need to get outside and go fishing.

There is a dragrace game out there. It's called Burnout. For the PC. Get to setup the car with any engine, compression, cam, coilovers, etc. Real hard to control the car with a joystick though.

Playstation does have Test Drive 6 and at the beginning it shows quick video shots of a Lightning doing a burnout and in the game you can race it.

If you have a playstation check out the Mod Chips. This allows you to play games copied from a CD writer. It's legal in Canada but not sure about the U.S.

A guy I know burns the games for $10.00. Regular cost is $50.00 to $70.00

I played test drive 6 over the holidays till my thumb was numb.I took the Lightning all the way through the 1st class and beat everything.As you win you can upgrade the vehicle till it is untouchable. It's well worth the money!

Well no luck at blockbuster,TD6 is to new,they don't have it yet so I'm s-o-l. I thought of buying it,but when you could have it for 3 bucks(burning discs? who would do such a thing? ) instead of $40 it just makes sense to wait.Oh well.
