Indianapolis 500: The Simulation

Now, I just said that this game was one of the first "real" racing games, so I better explain why. That's just because, at least from what I remember, this was one of the first games to allow the player to customize the car in a very realistic way. And almost everything that is important in a racing car can be adjustable, from the "wings" to the gearbox settings. This makes the behaviour of the car during the race or the qualifying phase to be completely different according to the adjustments made.

Indy 500 is, without a doubt, the best racing simulation yet produced on a micro. It has all of the qualities and features that make a really good game and more besides. Even if you don't normally like this sort of game I recommend that you take a look at this one - you'll be impressed. With its tremendous graphics and bags of playability this is sure to be a clear winner.

Apart from these minor negative aspects 'Indianapolis 500' is one of the first realistic racing games which will keep you entertained for a long time. Maybe you will be able to finish the full race in first place (I never managed to do so despite countless tries)!
