Developed by Distinctive Software and released in 1992 for the Sega Genesis, Test Drive II: The Duel is a high-speed racing simulation that puts you behind the wheel of exotic sports cars. Unlike its predecessor, this entry introduces the titular “Duel” mode, allowing you to race directly against a computer-controlled rival driver along dangerous highways while dodging oncoming traffic and evading relentless police pursuits.
How to Play
Your objective is to reach the end of each stage before the time runs out or before your opponent does. You must manage your vehicle’s speed and maneuverability, being careful not to crash into civilian traffic or roadside scenery. Make sure to pull into gas stations to refuel between checkpoints. For the Sega Genesis in your browser, use the Arrow keys to steer, and the Z, X, and C keys to accelerate, brake, and shift gears. Press Enter to start the game.
Tips
- Keep an eye on your radar detector and slow down before the police spot you; getting pulled over wastes valuable time.
- Pay close attention to your fuel gauge and do not miss the gas stations, as running out of fuel will immediately end your race.
- If you choose a manual transmission, remember to shift gears properly to maintain top speeds on straightaways without blowing your engine.
