Looks like the maker of New Star Soccer has a new game out and I like the price point. Now I just gotta find the time to try out the demo. Check it out.

I was just coming here to post this... At work so I have not had a chance to try the demo. Going to give it a go tonight and see if it's worth the 10 bucks.

THAT GAME IS AWESOME

Just tried the demo and it is a near must buy for me.

[Tasan]

Giving it a whirl now.

Okay so is this a game where i actually have to steer the car?

That is correct.

Dang, I thought is was turn based game like the old SI bookcase game whose name I have forgotten. Man, I loved that game.

Speed Circuit. There was an earlier Avalon Hill game called LeMans that was similar.

It's a good game, but the difference between Normal and Hard difficulty is enormous. Normal difficulty will see you win nearly every race whilst Hard difficulty will see you struggle to finish much higher than 15th.

Oh the memories of pestering my dad for hours to play Speed Circuit. Mostly I remember him thinking the car noises I made were cute, until he started losing, then he told me to shut up.

GeneRally is free for someone that likes the top down racing games...

[cubboyroy1826]

Is there a racing game like Speed Circuit that is for the PC? Maybe something with a career mode?

[Yellow5]

Difficulty is being taken care of in a patch.

I got the game to load, but once a race started it pooped and crashed. Not buying unless I get it working.

[tarcone]

Ah yes, Speed Circuit.
I would play solo games with a di(?). Roll it and move each car.

That was a great game. I would love to see this game on the PC.

If someone ever bought those titles and developed PC turn based sims, I imagine they would make a fortune (hint, hint someone).

Ever seen this? ONYX Formula PC (http://formulapc.malagraphixia.com/Formula_PC.htm)

It's a fan based computer version of the board game Formula Dé.

Tried the demo, not bad, lots of learning curve. Could be a hellish time waster during the wee hours of the night =)
