Are you talking about some unknown brand-x 8-bit homecomputer?

Sinclair?

 

[Chukchi Husky]

It was one that was remade to have a cartridge drive, so they then made a console out of it.

It's not Sinclair.

GX4000 Based on amstrad? That thing sold like ***** so no wonder why I've never heard of it before.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

That's the console. Now for the game.

I've spent last three hours trying to unravel this mystery and still no luck. I know some other games on other platforms but I have no idea what their CPC ports look like. Maybe I should try an emulator and DL all driving games for CPC with my crap-py dial-up.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

The game came with the plus versions of the computers and the cartridge was also used for BASIC (so you can play cassette games).

Burnin' rubber

I saw this same game for numerous other platforms but it looked so different I could'n believe it was this.

Am I allowed to use wikipedia?

EDIT: Dammit! 2 minute crosspost...

 

[Chukchi Husky]

It is Burnin' Rubber.

 

[Rheinmetall]

Amstrads were so popular in finland at that time. My family bought one older model from a friend back when and that was the only amstrad machine I ever saw here.

Oh so easy it could have been.... Wiki

 

[Rheinmetall]

This had to be the hardest question yet. The game was for a console that flopped so no-one never heard of it. It originally wasn't a console but a home computer.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I never had the console, but I had a CPC 464+, which used the same cartridges and controllers. I read about the console in an Amstrad magazine and was made to compete with the Mega Drive.

 

[Rheinmetall]

I doubt anyone has that console...

Do you want an easy sound based question or very hard picture based? First to post decides.
