Horse Racing Simulator

About

Horse Racing Simulator lets players run a horse stable on the Atari ST/STE. Up to five people take charge of training and racing horses, aiming to place in the top three for cash prizes. Each horse’s performance affects their overall value, requiring strategies to match them with races where they can thrive. The gameplay focuses on balancing day-to-day management with competitive racing outcomes, all viewed through a simple but functional interface. Developed by Budgie Games in 1990, this early title laid groundwork for the developer’s later Starters Orders series. Its multiplayer mode and focus on long-term stable growth stand out, offering a straightforward yet strategic take on sports management. With no modern updates, it remains a niche artifact for retro gaming fans and horse racing sim enthusiasts.
