C64 "Wheels" game any good?

Duel · 08 November 2007, 09:58

Thinking of learning C64 emulation just for this game. Anyone played this "Wheels" racing game from 1991, any good? I'm fascinated by this whole dashboard in-car view with animated feet, lol.

Strange perspective with visible driver's legs and no obstacles.

rsn8887 · 08 November 2007, 21:13

lol that perspective is whacko, cracks me up though! Driver has 3 meter long legs and super goofy arms

wow do modern racing game just look 100000000000 times better

Smearing your C64's monitor with vaseline may help your enjoyment.
or
Failing that, smear it over yourself and try some two player action.

It's crap, like all Loadstar/Softdisk magazine releases.

LOL! Why you guys laughing at this crappy game XD. Nevertheless it looks interesting to me. Can anyone who have a C64 emulator download this game and movie capture its gameplay? I just like to see it. If you want send me the movie file and I'll upload it to youtube.

Probably easier for you to download a C64 emulator + the game and play it yourself

Graham Humphrey · 09 November 2007, 00:30

Yeah that's what I thought. I don't see the harm in trying it if you think it might be interesting, what have you got to lose?

Well, I haven't studied C64 emulation yet. I just figured if anybody here play 64's games thru their emulator and why not might me request them to video capture the gameplay so I can see it and decide if I want it enough to study C64 emulation. It was just a favor, no biggie. =/

I agree smooth C64 emulation is not so trivial....

1. Download WinVice

2. Download Wheels and unpack it

3. Drag & Drop the WHEELS.D64 image into WinVice

4. Play the game

Dizzy · 09 November 2007, 12:21

5. Cry

6. smash computer with big hammer

7. wish you never downloaded "Wheels"

Retro-Nerd · 09 November 2007, 12:26

8. Amen

Vice is so easy, no configs, just play and go. Only thing you sometimes need to enable is the true drive emulation.

And download some new c64 demos also

Retro-Nerd · 09 November 2007, 12:38

Try Grand Prix Circuit for the C-64 instead:

or the very old but good Revs from Geoff Crammond:
