Introduction

Following on from their successes with Indianapolis 500 and IndyCar Racing, Papyrus Design shifted their attention to the NASCAR scene, with the release of NASCAR Racing in 1994.

The CD-ROM version of the game, released in June 1995, was bundled with a number of graphics cards including the Matrox Millennium, Creative Labs 3D Blaster VLB, and Diamond Edge 3D. This gave the game a considerable increase in speed over software rendering, but no difference in image quality.

 

From where can it be run?

The game must be installed to your hard disk.
