A few months back we showed new details about the unreleased CD-i prototype Aliens Interactive, developed by Dark Vision. Dark Vision was actually a new game company set up by Total Vision and Dark Horse. Dark Horse is one of the biggest comic publishers in the USA, which licensed the Aliens concept to their joint venture Dark Vision (a name combination of Dark Horse and Total Vision). Total Vision has set up more collaborations like this with 'CD-i Systems' to develop A Great Day at the Races on CD-i together with 'Dove Films'.
Fortunately this title did see the light of day in 1993. A Great Day at the Races is a disc that brings the excitement of horse racing into the home. It contains a series of tutorials covering every aspect of horse racing, from it's history to a multi-media dictionary of track jargon. It explains both the rudiments of betting and sofisticated handicapping methods. It contains simulated horse races, allowing up to six people to test their handicapping skills on a variety of different race classes. Everything the user needs to learn about the technical and social aspects of the race track is easily accessable.
