Ach, R-Type

I got it mixed up with other single-letter-with-hyphen names.

OK here are the answers to the original question:

top left: Missile Command (1980)
top right: Bard's Table (1987)
bottom left: Mule (1983)
bottom right: R-Type (1987)


It was R-Type that inspired me. I saw it's picture and suddenly remembered what a cool game that was to play. I thought very few others played it, but amazingly it was at #16 in the following list.

Again, close, but no. I would normally think that such close guesses as Grand Prix Whatever would constitute the right answer, but since Main_Brain already provided a dead-giveaway hint that the command to run it is GP... No. Gotta get that last bit right.

Pit Stop 2

That's the only racing game I had on my C64. I did play the hell out of it. I'm just guessing, I'm not that familiar with racing games.

Dissident is right! It's Pit Stop II.

Unless the same game had different names in different parts of the world?

Oh, and thanks everybody for the help with explaining the upload service. Overwhelming, I really don't have words enough to thank ya' all!

So, how does it work? I did upload the pic somewhere, God knows where, but how do I get it from wherever it is into a post? Or do you all simply take them directly from your hard drive?

when I mentioned World Circuit (which, incidentally is aka Grand Prix, the very first one), I was not referring to the game whose pic was posted by vovan. I was just taken by good memories from those times... playing GP till the wee hours in the morning...

Stormbringer? Must have been around four when I played that. Ah, the fond memories.

that looks like it. It looks familiar

Like I said, it was like the only racing game I had (we were poor- and most of our games weren't "bought"). We used to have a whole bunch of games on one diskette. Though some games were larger like Summer game I and II. I think those took 1 (or 2 sides) diskettes each.

This is also the last racing game I was every any good at . As I explained in another thread, I'm a good driver in real life, but suck at racing games. GTA3 I suck at driving. And my brother had a racing game for the X-box I wasn't very good at.

This game I remember your tires would get these lines on them indicating how much wear they had on them. And you could change tires pit stops and such. Fun game.

Yup, that's right! My brother and I played this one a lot, great fun! We would try to destroy each others' tyres when we were neck to neck. Somehow, he always managed to tear mine up without getting a scratch. It never worked the other way around... A bug?

You can´t have been that poor if you could afford a diskdrive. I had to do with good old fashioned cassette tapes and save up for a drive in the meantime.

Later on the money I saved went into buying an Amiga 500. So I guess it worked out in the end.
