Bruiser Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm trying to remember the name of a game and find out if it's available. As I've said I can't remember the name, but the basic premise was you were trying to drive cross country, I'm thinkking an LA to NY kinda thing, but you only had a certain amount of time to do it. You also had to stop and eat I think, and rest and get gas. It was mostly text, with a few graphics for driving and the police trying to stop you. If anybody has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labrat Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The Great American Cross-Country Road Race. I agree with Bryan, I have not played it extensively, but I think this is probably the game you're thinking of. (at atarimania) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Nope. Thanks though. The only graphics it had was a map of teh country that tracked your progress, a "road" when you were driving, and police lights when a cop was trying to pull you over. As I said, it was actually more text than graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sure sounds like GACCR shown above... but you say no... Was it a top-down view, or a pole position like view while driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well, you didn't actually drive it yourself at all. You didn't even see the car. When you were moving, all you saw was 2 lines that made a triangle, like a road, and a dotted line in the middle. The police flasheres were just two squares that changed colors between blue and red I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruiser Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Atarimania had a picture, and I think it might actually be that. However, the only copy they had is a .bas file, and I can't figure out how to get it to run, so if anyone has it as .atr or a cassette or something, let me know. Thanks for your help. Edit: Or if you can get me to get the .bas file to work, that is fine too. Edited February 22, 2009 by Bruiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I don't know which machine you have (400/800/XL/XE), but the atr i've created should work. Boot it with BASIC enabled/attached. (basically to run .bas files you need some DOS in memory [booted with BASIC], and just then type RUN"D:filename.ext").
