in 1999, "Test Drive Rally" was 95% complete to be released on N64 exhibiting 30 cars and vibrant new levels, and 96bit expansion pack boosted graphics (like Perfect Dark), and even 4-player mode. It was cancelled, but the PC and PSX early released versions exist.

It's missing some stuff like water splashes, camera flashes, and glowing disc brakes, but a minor complaint considering the other Rally simulators TO DATE are missing many of these necessities and there isn't a SINGLE good rally game out there.

here is the Hyundai in action although it has the 1998 wider spoiler with the 1999 livery (never existed) opposed to the shortened one.

I liked Colin McRae Rally 2005 for the xbox.

 

i have CMR2 and 3, and they're both great however there are certain times when the driving seems very unreal and physically impossible. i've played CMR Mac, it's okay but i think we need something more "official" like a WRC1 PS2 game that is purely realistic, has all the old cars, and has all the loving elements combined into one big game.

 

is CMR Mac any decent then?
i happened to see this the other day...im assuming its an exclusive CMR for Mac only?
or am i way off the mark

 

CMR is good. I don't play a lot of rally games but I did like that one. I think I'll look for something for the 360 also.

 

CMR Mac is exactly like 3 and 4. the controls are the same. slightly better graphics, some newer cars but overall it's the same experience. personally, i still don't like the driving physics in that game. they're fake and get old quick.

i've been emulating some games on my Mac. you can download any emulator free, and free roms from www.coolrom.com
