Fun School 2: For the Under-6s
DOSEducational
How it plays
The player views the road from a first-person driving perspective and operates a selected Ford vehicle through simulated traffic situations. The main objectives are to follow the roadway, control speed, avoid collisions, and complete the available driving scenarios.
The experience is organized around vehicle selection and individual road or driving exercises rather than a conventional championship campaign. Progress depends on successfully handling the car and responding to traffic conditions; it does not use a traditional character-leveling system or role-playing progression.
Plan your run
Keep speed under control, especially when approaching traffic, turns, and changes in the road. Smooth steering and early braking are more reliable than sudden corrections.
Treat the simulation as a practice exercise rather than a race. Observe the road ahead, leave room for other vehicles, and use repeated attempts to learn the behavior of each vehicle and scenario.
Before you begin
Drive conservatively until the road layout and traffic behavior are familiar.
Brake before turns and avoid abrupt steering corrections.
Try different vehicles to compare their handling and performance.
Ford Simulator II is a DOS driving simulator developed by The SoftAd Group and published in cooperation with Ford Motor Company. It combines practical road driving with an overview of Ford vehicles, presenting the player with a computer-based approximation of everyday motoring rather than an arcade racing challenge. The game is structured around selecting a vehicle, driving through road environments, and managing speed and traffic while learning the basics of vehicle operation. Its historical reception was shaped by its unusual purpose: it functioned as both a promotional product and an early consumer driving simulation. The presentation is dated and simple, but it remains a notable example of automotive software from the late 1980s.
