So the best thing i can say is to buy

Or you could try making an online game using a Java Applet, that takes less programming knowledge, but still isn't easy...

Maybe this quote from the site will tempt more people to try this game
Race Ace (C) 1983 Tony Rainbird
This little game is a driving simulator with an overhead view. It is incredibly poor, you really need to see it to believe it (download link above). Game 'Features' include: Ear piercing squeak when you finish the race; car doesn't always face the way it is moving; very dodgy control method. Use the 'Z' and 'M' keys to rotate your blue car and drive around the track. Try not to bump into anyone as your car will stop and your Speccy will beep at you for quite a long time.
Despite everything, it can be mildly addictive and at the very least will give you a good laugh.

As the proud owner of a fully working spectrum, I want to play tony's game in all it's glory. Any chance you can get hold of a copy of the original source code for me?
That was not too bad tony! **SHEEPY trying to hold in his laughter**
