The original V-Rally was one of the first games I ever played. Back then I only really played split-screen multiplayer with my brother, but I decided to give it a go again this year after leaving it for about half a decade. God, just keeping the car on the road was a challenge for me
And did you ever enable cheat mode and try out the Rollercoaster Track with the Jeep?

Count your blessings shem, When I were a lad I learned to use paint packages with this beast on the 520ST
Neochrome, 16 colours on screen at any one time! I used to squeeze more colours out by painstakingly mixing colours by drawing one pixel at a time. It boasted a whopping screen resolution of 320x200 with those 16 colours.
It's biggest strength was that it could do this (advanced for its time, honest!):
And this:
And this:
