Commodore 64The Games Machine (UK)
Test Drive has its faults, not least of which are the limited gameplay and lack of track variation, but as a first person racing game it's well worth considering for purchase.
69
AmigaThe Games Machine (UK)
The colours used are sparse, considering what the Amiga is capable of, and they do not improve much as the game progresses. The sound FX of engine notes in different gears and squealing tyres as you take sharp bends and dips in the road add excitement and give a reasonable impression of high-speed driving. But lastability is a fragile commodity with there not being enough to do in the game.
67
Atari STThe Games Machine (UK)
The biggest problem with Test Drive is the lack of gameplay: the Rock is still the same - repetitive, graphically basic and with a distinct lack of variety and lasting challenge. Even a novice ST games-player shouldn't find it too hard to get through to the end. A very competent, but ultimately unexciting release.

Tempolimit? Nein danke; mit Bleifuß und PS-Power geht man bei "Test Drive" auf Punktejagd. Wollten Sie schon immer mal am Steuer eines unbezahlbaren Traumwagens sitzen? Ob Lamborghini Countach oder Porsche 911 Turbo, fünf Wagen dieser Klasse stehen zu Ihrer freien Verfügung bereit - vorausgesetzt, man hat den richtigen Computer und "Test Drive", eine neue Rennsimulation.
