In a nostalgic moment, I looked for this and i found it.
So i'm into simracing since I'm 7 or 8 years old!I even remember the first time i saw that box animation!!
I MUST find the floppy with this milestone!

Share your 1st sim!

Mine was GP2... I think I was 6 when I played it on my Dad's old PC laptop! Couldn't even play it on full graphics!!! It was so great though, my Dad couldn't have got any work done.
The first sim I owned though was GPL when I was 9. Got it for Christmas with a Voodoo graphics card just after it was released. Awesome!

LOL,

I'm relatively new to sim. racing, actually it was from late 2004. (my first better PC :o). and F1 Challenge 99-02 with great mods (PTC, SCC, ETCC ...) introduced me into sim. racing :), next one was a GTR1.

Indianapolis 500 for my Amiga, c.1990 - steering by mouse was a revelation. Keyboard or even joystick was never good enough again.

(I figure Racing Destruction Set in '85 doesn't count!)

there were 3 arcade games in my time, late 80's early 90's. i spent a lot of money on those, dont remember their names. then in the mid 90's there was a car stunt game that was awesome, from atari. When i got my first pc in 1997, i got indycar racing and nascar racing from sierra. then the microprose grand prix, then the 2 F1 games from ubisoft, GP3 and 4, GPL, viper racing, sports car GT, Toca racing, colin mcrae rally, then after a long hiatus got into GTR, rfactor, GTR2, RACE (which im not really that impressed, although the F3000 is cool!)

Pitstop II. Circa 1984.

I had the PC version, but it's basically the same as it was on C64 except with uglier graphics

Jeff, why do you think I still keep a Win98 box around? Best part of NHL Hockey 93? Using the trade feature to put together a dream line of Lemieux-Gretzky-Selanne. ;)
