Test Drive 2 is a driving simulation game for the Apple //GS.
The book with the program is very comprehensive. It is worth reading before starting but it is not essential to do so. The graphics are clear and the sound repetitive. Just on sound ..... there are police sirens, crashes and suitable car sounds.
For loading up it also helps to have a Transwarp GS card. There are a choice of cars, a choice of keyboard or joystick; you can play against the computer, another car or time. There are extra scenarios and you can make as many play disks as you want using the master and extra disks.
The accuracy and response of the joystick is paramount to the enjoyment of this very fast game of SKILL. I found my children could outmaneuver at speed any adult, as a hand/eye co-ordinator this program is great! Of course there is a scoring system so that you may compete against to your hearts content.
Backups may be made for personal archival purposes; we used "Copy ][ +" but most good copying programs would also do.
If you have a wet Sunday to fill then this is an enjoyable program to share with family and friends. The use of extra cars and scenarios is an advantage.
On a scale of 1 (not good) to 10 (excellent) we think it would be an enjoyable 7 to 8.
