An Omega Race clone. It seems quite accurate, but loses out in the sound department, as you might expect from the PC speaker. I would recommend remapping the keys from the defaults (Ctrl and Alt to rotate, right Shift to thrust, and Space to fire). In terms of speed, I selected AT as the model PC from the game's menu, and slowed down DOSbox to around 600 cycles.
I played the VIC-20 version over 35 years ago, and that had better sound, so you might like to try that. There is also 2 clones on the Amiga; one is called... Amega Race (!), the other is more accurate, and called Omega Race.
