From eyiskis@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (Eric Yiskis) come these immortal words:
>Does anyone know what happened to the Mac version of Vette? Has anybody
>played the PC version and how is it?  Are there any really good driving games
>for the mac ( I have played Accoloade's Grand Prix and I was disappointed ).
>Is Test-Drive II good?

	I've played the PC version of 'Vette, and it's okay, although the
motion can be choppy and the graphics are primative (literally --
everything is made of primatives, vectors, although they are very well
done).  I thought the sense of speed and control was good; you felt you
were in a race, and going fast.  There were some bugs -- sometimes your car
or your opponent's would appear floating in midair, or be "intangible."
The best thing about the game in my opinion was its two-player ability
over a null-modem cable.  I'd assume that if a Mac version ever comes out,
it will do the same over LocalTalk cabling.

	I didn't play it too long (I'm not around PCs that often) but I did
like it, it was a lot of fun.
