   Pitstop II is a 1984 sequel to the 1983 racing game Pitstop, both of which were published by Epyx. Ported to more platforms than the original, Pitstop II was released for the Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit family, and as a self-booting disk for IBM PC compatibles. Apple II and TRS-80 Color Computer versions were released in 1985. Pitstop II adds a split-screen, simultaneous two-player game mode. Players can be in completely different places on the racing track, and each half of the screen shows the view of the track according to the player's position.
   The game requires that players keep an eye on their tires and fuel gauge. Players are able to pull in for a pit stop to change tires as well as re-fuel. Six international race tracks are available: Brands Hatch, Hockenheim, Rouen-Les-Essarts, Sebring, Vallelunga, and Watkins Glen — with a choice of either racing for three, six or nine laps and from one of three difficulty levels.

This ver­sion of Pitstop II was de­sig­ned for per­so­nal com­pu­ters with o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem MS-DOS (Mi­cro­soft Disk O­pe­ra­ting Sys­tem), which was o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem de­ve­lo­ped by Mi­cro­soft in 1981. It was the most wi­de­ly-used o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was sup­plied with most of the IBM com­pu­ters that pur­cha­sed a li­cen­se from Mi­cro­soft. Af­ter 1995, it was pu­s­hed out by a gra­phi­cal­ly mo­re ad­van­ced sys­tem - Win­dows and its de­ve­lop­ment was ce­a­sed in 2000. At the ti­me of its grea­test fa­me, se­ve­ral thou­sand ga­mes de­sig­ned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for com­pu­ters with this sys­tem we­re cre­a­ted. To­day, its de­ve­lop­ment is no lon­ger con­ti­nue and for e­mu­la­tion the free DOSBox e­mu­la­tor is most of­ten used. Mo­re in­for­ma­ti­on about MS-DOS operating system can be found here.
