A bit of a jump here today, Ascension to the Throne and BorderZone both failed to launch, and Brigade E5 is the predecessor to 7.62 - High Calibre, the game this started with, so I decided to skip that. So here we are at Classic Car Racing; a game about racing classic cars.

The game is pretty self explanatory to be honest, you race classic cars. Boot up the game and you’re greeted with a character selection -- I chose the nakedest lady obviously -- and a choice between simulation and arcade modes; I naturally chose simulation mode.
The game has a career mode, in which it gives you some money and you’re able to buy yourself a car and spend money on upgrades. You win races and gain more money, buy better cars, and win more races; pretty typical for a racing career mode. Obviously this game’s USP is the classic cars, but this is purely cosmetic, but a nice change, I think.
I started the first race, got about halfway through and realised that by simulation they meant try to turn and you spin out, especially when attempting to control it with the arrow keys; so I decided I’d give up and change it out to arcade mode.
Something that weirdly requires you to create a new profile; so I did just that , I chose the same nakedest lady and named her Steve and chose arcade mode. I then chose the same car, started the first race, and did not spin out at every turn. The game has a drift function in arcade mode, which basically comes into effect whenever you turn, but you can initiate it by turning then accelerating, which I believe is the way it usually happens in arcade racers? I don’t play them often.
That’s basically it for this game really, there’s not much more to it than that. I did a couple of races, won some credits, and got bored. The game is fine, but ultimately nothing special, thus the super short blog. But it’s ok, here’s a large picture of the nakedest lady.
