Pitstop II in 2-Player mode with your mates, ohh instant evil side of you brought out, knacker your mates wheels at the start and just await the ranting.
Brilliant game, but really came into it's own in 2-Player mode.
1 of the very few decent racers i played on C64 (others being Super Cycle, Buggy Boy and Turbo outrun, though i also liked the driving sections on Vendetta)

How appropriate! I just started a thread about the conversion of Pitstop for the 5200.

I have never actually played either game! I suppose I should rectify that soon!
From watching the videos the A8 version gets my voteÂ

Ah great game. Spent hours vs my brother on Pitstop 2, in split screen mode.
I would vote for the C64 version
