# Test Drive II Enhanced: a C reimplementation of the EGA game

> Test Drive II Enhanced reimplements the EGA Test Drive II: The Duel executable in C and runs it through SDL3 with the player's original game files. Its replacement road renderer draws at higher resolution and 60 frames per second with a longer draw distance, while a classic mode retains the earlier view. A stage viewer reads the game's scenery data for camera exploration.
