I think it was a really good game once you mastered the controls. If you manage to get bonustime over 10 minutes you can drive forever. And what really made this game fun is to darken the screen colors so it was like drivinŽat night! I just liked it very much, you just need to stop comparing it to the arcade-original

The arcade version of this game was cool because it contained a full driver's cockpit. Naturally, a computer conversion can't offer that.

The framerate is low but there are games worse than that. Instead, Juergen Friedrichs managed to screw up the controls real bad.

I think the biggest reason for Domark/Tengen to release Hard Drivin' 2 before the real arcade sequel Race Drivin' was out, was to make up for the horrid controls in Hard Drivin'.

My friends with their PC's had 4D sports. I had the horrible Hard Drivin' (could it be any worse?). Another awfull conversion by the Domark-Tengen duo. This game has a framerate of 2 frames a sec or something, it is just unplayable. Unbelievable but true, there were even 2 sequels!

Little did I know back then there was a cool stunt game for the ST called Stunt Car Racer. An unbeatable game, up until Carmageddon arrived for the PC by the end of the 90's!

"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs, on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer
