  Hmm... Various Infoseek (see front page) searches yielded no results. Sure about that name or was this one lost in the mists of time?

  "Corsa pazza" means "Crazy race" or "Crazy ride" in Italian. Maybe that will help a bit. Or maybe not :)

  I've got a game called Crazy Race, as well as several called Crazy Cars.
  
  I've just had a go at the Crazy Race game, and I can't imagine why anyone would want a copy of it.

  It's a kind of nostalgia. But I think the whole game was in Italian language. And you are right, it was car races. Thanks to Italian Speccy fans for explanation.

  We tried Crazy Cars (Titus), Crazy Cars II (Titus), Crazy Cars (JBSoftware), Crazy Drive and Crazy Race. My friend still says Corsapazza looked different. Kill him. :)

  So we still don't have this game. Should it be added to MIA list?

  Maybe it was a pirated game translated into Italian with a false title. Such things were quite common in Italy.

  Just a thought, but maybe Corsapazza could be the Italian translation of "Wacky Races". I guess most of us here are of the age to recall the cartoon show.
  
  A quick search on WoS yields a "Wacky Races" game published by Hi-Tec Software and Pal Developments. I'm sure I must have it on my Wos DVD courtesy of William Anderson, but I've not fired it up yet. However, Dan -- could this be the one your late friend remembers?

  So, I tried Wacky Races, but my friend Sanx said that Corsapazza looked like Crazy Cars by Titus. Only cars were smaller.

  So after one year I open CorsaPazza thread again with good news: My friend managed to get the game! The game is really in Italian language and seems to contain no info about softwarehouse. Is it allowed to send such game to the WoS archive? I think we have more these games.

  See my previous post in this thread. BTW, could you please email me the file? Maybe I can help you in identifying it.

  Sounds for me like the "Road racer" or "Road runner" (Not the one with Coyote)
