Test Drive II: The Duel puts you behind the wheel of exotic supercars in a high-stakes race against a single rival and the police. Released by Accolade in 1989, this Sega Genesis driving simulator is known for its detailed first-person dashboard view and realistic focus on gear shifting, speed management, and dodging oncoming traffic on winding two-lane roads.
How to play
Your objective is to reach the gas station at the end of each stage before your opponent, without wrecking your car or getting caught by the highway patrol. Use the arrow keys to steer, accelerate, and brake. Use the action buttons (S, X, Z) to shift gears if playing with a manual transmission. Press Enter to start the game.
Tips
- Keep a close eye on your radar detector to spot police cars ahead of time, and slow down to the speed limit to avoid triggering a high-speed chase.
- Watch your RPM gauge carefully when accelerating or downshifting so you do not blow your engine.
- Staying on the paved road is crucial; dropping a tire into the dirt or snow will drastically reduce your speed and control.
