My dad had a IBM 5160 XT and later a IBM Model 80 when he was working from home in the 80s. I can still remember we were allowed to play Need for Speed or Flight Simulator on it for a half hour per week.

That were the days. Much later in the 90s this changed to be allowed to be on CompuServe in the evening for a half hour. I can still remember going to GO MAXIS :)

Need for Speed in the 80s?
I was wondering the same... Maybe thinking of a different racing game?
Test Drive?
I do remember a CGA driving game on the PC in all it’s four-color glory. Pink, teal, black and white.
Yeah, probably it was Test Drive instead of Need for Speed.
Test Drive maybe (1987) ?
