Jalopy

Take a road trip with a difference through the eastern European territories set during the fall of communism.

In this unique "CarPG" driving simulator, you can take to the open road in a fictional Laika 601 Deluxe reminiscent of the much-maligned East German “Trabbie”.

Jalopy is in Early Access programme with new territories being added recent months including Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Turkey which make this simulator truly expansive.  

With each new territory developer Greg Pryjmachuk has added subtleties that make you feel like you’re in a different country, look out for different branding on products and different types of food. You will need to lavish love and care as well as your precious marks to complete this ambitious and memorable journey. 

Territories currently available

• Yugoslavia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey

New additions to the Bulgaria update

• Various road conditions, oil spillages and pot holes are just some of the new environmental details which add to Jalopy’s realism
