First shot with this game after a long time, I think that I've correctly calculated my score. I "died" in the 19th race (I started the "hard" level from race 9 and that probably wasn't a good idea! :p) I hate that salesman!!! Sell me the car, *bast***!!! :bash |

23,023,825 Played worse than last time so much less prize money but got 1 race further by skipping track 5. After beating track 6 I also skipped track 7 but still failed at track 8. |

I had the last 3 races (7, 8 and 9) of the hard level to complete... I tried the 7th and lost miserably... :shocked :laughing Having fun with this, a great game. I never played it just because I had Super Cars 2, one of my favorite of all times... |

SC2 remains one of the best 2 player games ever. |
I'm starting today as I've completed I'm back from family holiday and looking to get stuck in.
I prefer Super Cars II as the handling is a little nicer and the turn and skid dynamics somehow more natural. That said Super Cars is definitely more of a challenge. |
Yeah my euphoria for this game has cooled down a bit. Agreed, Super Cars II is the better game also in single player mode. Still Super Cars is a very worthwhile classic.
http://youtu.be/nSWRqwJqlOw 24,064,325 Almost went game over on tracks 5 and 6 (see 1:08:40) in class 3. No chance on track 7 then. Tracks 7-9 really seem impossible with the 5L Retron Parsec. Wonder how you're supposed to take corners with the 8L car. |

Lost again twice at race 7 of hard level after having won the first 6 races... Next time I'll try race 9 after the first 6 races... |

Would be nice to see a few more players for this classic game, as letting EAB win by default is not really a team score to be proud of. |

Game completed playing the first 6 races and then race 9, 8 and 7... It was quite hard at the end, in the last 3 races I arrived second twice and third once and I also spent a lot of money buying everything before the races. But, at the end, it was worth it. :) |
Congratz, really not an easy task! :great
@lifeschool: Thanks for the advice. Found the 8L Retron Parsec to be not that hard to control after all when I tried it again (except for hairpins). |

If I get time I'll try to improve my score... I arrived first in many races but I arrived also second at least in 4-5 races and once I arrived third so there is a good margin to have more money at the end of the game... obviously how much money you have depends on the car seller as well. BTW, I bought the 8L Retron Parsec when I still had 3 races to complete the medium level... that car is a bit more difficult to control (in fact I arrived second in a race of the medium level that I usually had won) but it is so fast that you easily pass the opponents. Using the 8L Retron Parsec I found really helpful the "retro" tool that you can buy in the shop (with "spin assist" and "power steering", of course). |
Thanks for the tip - never bought the retro (brakes) upgrade before. With the 8L car you never need the speed kit and turbo charger anymore, right?

I made a spreadsheet with libreoffice with all the possible sentences you can use during the bargaining with the seller.
I think it is quite complete, there are two sheets in the file, one is easily printable (it's just one page) and the second is easier to read on a computer. Feel free to complete/correct it if you find some mistakes... hope this helps! I am going to upload this in the zone as well. |

I think that the "speed kit" isn't that necessary if you have a fast car, the "turbo charger", instead, can be useful if you find a track with lots of sand puddles in the "wrong" spots... |

I think if you have the money to spare, buy everything you can to gain an advantage. Its not like the player is saving up for a new car as soon as they get the 8L. The side impact shields will save money on car damage, and everything else seems to help. I never buy missiles, but I guess knocking out the 2nd fastest car will often help you catch up to the leader.
liviux76 - Thanks so much for the spreadsheet! Yes I can suggest a few changes, and I'll use my notes to produce a slightly more accurate version as a help file for the Lemon database Super Cars page. That way, anyone can find these when searching for the game. You definitely saved me typing them up. :great Harry - The battle for 4th continues! :evilgrin |
