Hey Guys! :D Could you help me find a game that was part of my childhood, I used to play it on my 486 100mhz! XD! I already searched all over Google, based on keywords that could relate to the game, but I find nothing! :/

So here it goes a raw definition on it:

- It's like a board-game, so, based on the number you get you can walk several points on the map.
- the characters are little cartons driving old vehicles(40's probably), manly they are cars, but when the points on the map are on the sea they become air-planes.
- the general fell of the game was like a European Classic Rally(Like Montecarlo, with check points)
- I remember that a great part of the game was getting to these checkpoints, the first one to get there was congratulated with a very nice animation with the car going slowly on the street, and people on the street cheering up!

- there are several points on the map with cultural references(Back in that days I did not understand English), like the an Italian street, Eifiel tower...

- you could cheat you enemies by sabotaging their cars.
- there was a villain in the game, that played with us, and generally was the one that did most of the sabotaging.
- sometimes the routes for the places were blocked by natural disasters like flood or hurricane.

- the drawings were amazing and very cute
- also the music was very catchy with different little themes for thing that is going on.
- when you walk all your points in the map, there was a sound of screaming tires! and when you pass a competitor there was a very cute sound of horn!

I think that all I can remember, I really hope some of you can find it for me! It will be nostalgic heaven for me and my two brothers :D

Thanks! :D

Was it one of the Wacky Races game based on the old Hanna Barbera cartoon?

Glad you found out its name, thanks JMich, as always.
Very interesting. up to 8 players, like a board game.
Is it available for free anywhere at the moment? (didnt see it in amazon or ebay)
Am I more impressed by how JMich aced it, or by the 1 month reaction delay ?

I don't know how reliable this site is, but I found this

Nevermind: Must be a member to download there.

Ask and ye shall receive. There is a web based recreation , though some features of the original game are not available. Github also available [url=https://github.com/ondras/drago]here
As for the original game, it was developed and published by Blue Byte, so it should be legally cleared, but I think it is a pain to get running reliably. And I also think it's a Win 3.1 game, so double pain to get running.
