No matter what I have tried, I cannot get this game to run. If I try P-J's suggestions along with Bloodwych's options, I get nowhere (clicking the "msdos" pif just opens and closes the dosprompt, and running it from the dospromt just gives "Program too large to fit in memory".

So I downloaded DOSBox 0.70 and tried running it with that....only to have that fail as well. (It gets to the MF screen logo, then that fades away, and I'm left with a black screen permanently). The game isn't listed on DOSBoxs' compatibility and some of the front ends you can get list it as "Not Working" (I have both D.O.G and D-Fend2).

I have had DOSBox working fine for other games in the past (Jimmy White, James Pond 2 Robocod, Pinball Fantasies - although the Amiga versions are better, and Turrican 2), back when I first downloaded v0.61.

Thumbs up

Any chance of uploading this little gem into the Zone again? or sending it in to the underdogs for a bit of permanent hosting.

It's still available at Home of the Underdogs, it's just named incorrectly as Supercars; http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=5010

Anyway, in The Zone! for you

You realise this is not an Amiga game right? Anyway there's no need to Zone it because it's on the web along with how to get it running on a modern PC http://lastninja.net/~naveen/supercars.html
