Re: Worst horse racing game of all time?
most early horseracing games were based around betting daily double was half decent at the time
i remember some really bad american windows games
horse racing tycoon is prob worse of the modern day games
there is only 1 starters orders in a lge of its own

Hooves of thunder was a breakthru game. Starters orders is the best out there ! No doubt... If you mention other games on here do they delete your post? thats not right...... This is off topic....jus sayin...

Re: Worst horse racing game of all time?
Not the worst, but I remember a game called "stretch drive" - it was text only. I had to send off to the USA enclosing seven dollars in American currency to have it delivered to me here in the UK in about 1996. Came on a floppy disk, but included breeding which was good. Find out more here:- http://thewebrunners.com/stretchdrive.htm

No problem harnessfan. It was quite a community in its day.

Re: Worst horse racing game of all time?
Im sure it was... There is nothing like seeing a new horse racing game being developed... I wonder if we will ever see a tote board erected in starters orders..lol
