Game description:

Richard Petty's Talladega is a racing game where you get to take the super speedway as you race against king Richard Petty and 18 top pro drivers. After trying to qualify for a pole position, you use strategy to plan your pit stops, draft leading cars to pick up time and save fuel and be prepared for yellow caution flags.


What I think:

Urgh, what a crappy Pole Position rip-off...

Why is the game looking so depressing?

Why are the other cars glitching and bugging around?

Why do I drive UNDER the curbs?
