Pitstop II

Pitstop II is a racing simulation created by Synergistic Software and released in 1984 by Epyx for the Apple II, Atari 8-bit, and Commodore 64.

Unlike the first game in the series, Pitstop II introduced a "behind-the-car" view, a solution that would become standard in this type of game; just think of OutRun or Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge, for example.

But the best part of the game was the split-screen view: even on a normal Commodore 64, you could compete with your friends or the computer to see who is the race winner. Incredibly fun and incredibly advanced for those years. Pitstop II is a true milestone in the history of racing sims, and it's included in our list of the best games ever created for the Commodore 64. A real gem.
