Ford Simulator III

DOSGames.com Review:  Rating: 2.5
This program is Ford Motor Company's "Electronic Showroom" for their 1992 line of cars. (Previous entries were released in 1987 and 1990.) There is an extensive virtual "showroom" which shows off their entire line of cars, and each has a ton of information about each. So if you're particularly interested in all of the details, stats, and options of the 1992 Mercury Topaz, this is your jam! However probably more interesting is the "Driving Simulator" option which allows you to "test drive" any of the cars (although I suspect they all play almost identically) on a simulated trip to Lake Wakatonka. Your objective is to get there as fast as possible and avoid the police on the way (!) ... seems like this game portion was inspired by the Test Drive series? In any case it's a pretty smooth simulation for 1992 standards, although there's not a whole lot of depth to it. An interesting marketing product, I'm not sure whether this was distributed on floppy disks, BBSes, or some other method.
