Now here's a weird one. Based on the fairground interpretation of the sport of kings, Kentucky Racing has you rolling a wooden ball up a slope peppered with holes, the aim being to sink it as high up the board as possible. Your horse then moves forward a number of spaces, depending on where your ball fell. Joystick controls are fairly friendly, and one or two-player games are catered for.With only two players (and a third CPU-controlled horse), the game inevitably loses some of the nail-biting atmosphere of the 'arcade' version, but the frustration felt while waiting for your ball to return is accurately-reproduced. Despite its somewhat limited appeal, its only real fault is that the horses look identical, making i difficult to tell where you are.Not bad for a quick play though.
