Aha, you would've played "Hounded" back in the day. 8) Get yourself a C-64 emulator. VICE is the best, IMO.

that sounds familiar

all i remember is after the first week of racing - 10 races including melbourne cup you go to the auctions - buy a dog and give it to a trainer - there were 5 or so listed with different prices and then they raced in the next set of 10 races!!!!!

and you had a decent size bank to start off with!!!!!!!

I have a Greyhound Racing game I bought in about 98... It's on CD rom. If I find it, I'll "lend" it to you

Loved playing it a school with a couple of blokes you know.
Ive actually worked with the bloke who wrote it for many years.
One day we were talking about old computers and he told me he wrote some games for the C64, I asked him which ones and he rattled of Hounded as one of them, I found it hard to believe but he described the game to a tee and when I got home downloaded an emulater and the ROM and sure enough its his name that comes up as the creator. :shock:
He's now a applications developer/programmer in the Government and I worked with him for many years when we were both Business Analysts. Small world.

He actually made a better version of hounded but it never got to the shops, he's got the code somewhere at his home.
