The Ford Simulator is a vehicle simulator developed for DOS by The SoftAd Group and Beck-Tech and published by Ford Motor Company in 1987. It was designed to promote the 1988 Ford line of automobiles.[1][2][3]
Gameplay[]
The goal of the game was to give players an idea of how 16 cars would drive in the 1988 Ford lineup. It was created to mimic the physics of driving each car. The game features 4 different events in which you can drive cars. The events are Touring, Drag Strip, Slalom and Grand Prix. Touring allows you to simply drive and become familiar with the car. Drag Strip is the best time from 0 to 60 on a straight course. Slalom is a winding road, the risk of avoiding the track. And the Grand Prix is a 5-lap race around a track. Each event is intended to show how different parts of the car behave under certain conditions. It also came with a buyer's guide to building your dream car and calculating prices, and a comment option.
