- you should ask this question in comp.sys.mac.games.
- one game worth checking out is Test Drive II: The Duel,
- which is basically the Cannonball race on public roads.
- there are a number of different courses, in california or
- elsewhere. you can have cars like ferrari F40, porsche 959,
- corvette ZR-1, ferrari testarossa, etc. i've also seen a

- follow-ups to comp.sys.mac.games.
