I played that back in junior high. Wouldnā€™t call it a competitor at all more like a ancestor :stuck_out_tongue:

I played that game in my industrial tech class in middle school. I have fond memories. Iā€™ve also played it a couple times since then using dosbox, for nostalgia sake.

And Gran Turismo 5ā€™s competition has been out forever!

I would say that Automation is more of a sequel to Detroit (Dos)ā€¦ I wished that game had a better car building interface, and I love Automation attention to engine details. :slight_smile:

Wow, I remember that from junior high. I remember building a mid-engined sportscar.

Thanks
