How to Play

Retrogamer blsk contributed the files for this game, many thanks to him.

  • Setup file is extracted from original Midas Interactive edition iso - installs the game only, doesn't installs/updates DirectX, recommended way to install the game
  • Alternatively, the full Midas Interactive edition iso - it may install/update DirectX in addition to game installation
  • Also the iso from City Interactive edition - NOT recommended, force installs/updates DirectX without user consent
  • Controller fix for Windows Vista and newer - same as the one mentioned in the comments on My Abandonware page for IndyCar Series (another game from the same developer)
  • Full save, all cars and tracks unlocked - Golden Age of Racing is a bit tedious to beat, so this is for people who want everything unlocked instantly

Comments and reviews

A game I spent my childhood playing. Essentially its the "Golden Age of Racing" anything from the 1960s. Fast, fun, open wheeled. The tracks can get boring and I don't believe a racing wheel works well with this program. Played circa 2008 (PC) via a demo then found a disc for Playstation 2. If you want to relive the days of Mario Andretti, this is the game to play.

Other games you might like if you want something like this...
Grand Prix Legends - basically the same thing but harder
Spirit of Speed 1937 - Really hard to find a decent patch to make this handle modern hardware. But if you get it working, you are rewarded with pre war racing. I had lots of fun with this. Its jank has become its charm.
GT Legends - The very first racing game I ever bought with my own money. Its more touring cars from the 1960s -1970s but remains one of the best racing sims imo. It was THE game that got me into classic cars.

A worse GP Legends I think.
