TEST DRIVE 3: THE PASSION
By Accolade

GAME DESCRIPTION

This game was one of the best driving games, as far as variety goes that I have ever come accross. Test Drive 3 allowed you to choose from many paths to get to the destination on each track. You could take coastal roads, inland roads and even short cuts through back roads where bridges were under repair (you could jump accross the bridges if you were going fast enough.

There wsa even a railroad track located on one of the tracks on which you could drive arround and follow the train.

The game also featured head lights, rain and snow. Something which is only just starting to reappear in new games.

I know it was polygon based, and not texture mapped like modern games, but it sure was a game ahead of its time.

Here are some pictures to look at from the demo.
