The Duel: Test Drive II [Genesis]

Overview

The Duel: Test Drive II, or Test Drive II: The Duel, is an old underground racing simulation game developed by Distinctive Software and originally published by Accolade in 1989 that focuses on driving exotic cars through dangerous highways, avoiding traffic and trying to escape from the police. Here, we have its Genesis/Mega Drive version set to be played online, in your browsers (HTML5).

While its predecessor simply involved racing for time in a single scenario, Test Drive II features varied scenarios and the option to race against the clock or compete against a computer-controlled opponent.

Test Drive II: The Duel was originally released for DOS, Amiga, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, MSX, Amstrad CPC, Macintosh and Apple IIgs. The Mega Drive/Genesis port was released in 1992 and, unlike the computer versions — which consist of one long race with intermittent stops at gas stations — features three different races. Each is a route on a public highway in a different part of the continental United States. The game also adds another car, the Lamborghini Diablo, which was not in the computer versions.
