Video Speedway

About

Video Speedway is a 1992 racing simulator built for the Philips CD-i. You drive high-speed cars across ten tracks designed to challenge handling and reflexes. The game offers single player progression, split-screen multiplayer, and basic but functional controls. Each track emphasizes realistic physics for its time with variable grip and collision effects. Career mode unlocks new vehicles as you advance through the rankings. The game stands out as an early example of CD-i’s niche racing efforts. While visuals and track design feel dated by modern standards, community reviews note its split-screen mode remains surprisingly solid for local competition. Limited to Philips’ short-lived platform, it’s a curiosity for retro racing fans. Its straightforward approach and lack of frills make it a relic of early 90s simulation design.
