Do you think old video games are boring? Play Paris-Dakar, it is a Top-down perspective game developed by Zigurat Software S.L. and released on DOS in 1988. You will then know that you were wrong.
Another racing game on the theme of the famous African rally "Paris-Dakar". However, this time it will be more than unusual.
This game has nothing to do with racing arcades. This, if anything, a simulation of "life" riders participating in this contest, there is a simulator of all that party have had to endure during the rally. The management here is realistic – that's understandable. But in addition to steering and transmission there is the problem of limited fuel, and thirst, torment happens... And the fuel we need to get somewhere. As well as water. For this purpose can serve, including coastal motor boats, ready to sell these items, but you must buy carefully, so as not to overpay. A small amount of money you have initially, but to Dakar they are not enough. The only way to get their sponsors to pay you money is to achieve at least more or less decent results in each stage of the rally.
Graphics was good, visually looks good. We have to cover three main stages (South Europe, Sugar and Ténéré (a small desert in Africa) "on approaches" to the capital of Senegal, each of them decorated in a special way. Verdict – a very interesting race with economic elements that deserves attention at least for his daring idea.
