Test Drive III: The Passion
Test Drive III: The Passion is a driving game from 1990 developed by Accolade. The game features 256-color VGA graphics and true 3D environment built up by simple non-textured objects.
Driving
The driving experience in the game has been criticized for being unrealistic and often uncontrollable. Also the speed of the game is directly controlled by the speed of the PC, meaning that if someone played it on anything faster than a 386 computer the cars would drive incredibly fast.
Environments
The races are done on five sections of a California course. The sections offer multiple routes to the finish line and it is possible to drive off-road. The roads are populated with other cars and police vehicles. The police will chase and ticket both the player and computer opponents if they are caught speeding. The off-road environments are populated with many things, like hills, farms, billboards, ponds, trains, and livestock.
Some sections have weather effects like rain and snow, requiring the player to turn on the windshield wipers. But even when it's not raining or snowing, the player is sometimes required to use the wipers to remove bugs from the windshield.
Other features
The game offered different radio stations, all playing one MIDI song over and over again.
