PC Critic Reviews

Jalopy is the simulation of hearts and pain: car lovers with nostalgia for East Germany experience fun, the rest probably more hate.

Just like the real car, Jalopy teaches you to always be collected. If you leave your engine running while you’re rummaging through the roadside junk for stuff to sell – it can easily burn through half of your gas. And if you run out of fuel and have to walk to the nearest gas station – don’t forget to take your wallet with you, or your day will get much, much worse. [Issue#230, p.58]

Jalopy is a game with very interesting ideas but a very poor execution. We'd like to think the biggest issues are going to be fixed –then it'll be a game you should try.

Quotation forthcoming.
