Could anyone tell me the names of the drivers and the colour of their
cars in the old bbc micro game "Revs".Thanks

The only two I can remember are:
Billy Bumper
Wilma Cargo
I'll see if I can drag up some more names - they were all as lame as
those two examples though!
Can't help you with the colours as I only ever ran it on a black &
white portable <g>

I actually thought they were pretty hilarious at the time ...
like Miles Behind, who was always the last driver .. :-)

Here is the full list of 19 as taken from the C64 binary of Revs.
Max Throttle
Johnny Turbo
Davey Rocket
Gloria Slap
Hugh Jengine
Desmond Dash
Percy Veer
Gary Clipper
Willy Swerve
Sid Spoiler
Billy Bumper
Slim Chance
Harry Fume
Dan Dipstick
Wilma Cargo
Miles Behind
Roland Slide
Rick Shaw
Peter Out
All very corny.
I don't know the colours and sadly I can't check because my C64
is not working.
Could I ask, Mark, why you want to know.
IIRC the top 3 were the usual winners (apart from me obviously :-)
and the last few were the usual back markers.
I am thinking of setting up a Revs Web page, possibly including a
hall of fame. If you are interested or have any ideas let me know.

What about:
Max Throttle
Johnny Turbo
Gloria Slap
I thought the 'amusing' names added a lot to the game. Seems amazing to think
that Revs could have grown into GP2 over the years...

GP2
