Shit Game Time: Turbo Kart Racer
Well here we go again with another SGT video review and this time round I will be torturing myself by playing Turbo Kart Racer on the CPC
This game was actually requested by 3 youtubers at the same time to play and shit-rate this so how can I possibly ignore this game, could it be that bad?! ,....YEP! Enjoy,...if you can [ Show youtube player ] |

CPC had hardware scrolling... next to zero games used it. It's like the ST->Amiga ports but so so much worse...

This game sucks, but the CPC's weak support for hardware scrolling is largely to blame. The same game on the Amiga would be a piece of cake to do in comparison. You could probably do it in AmigaBASIC and get smooth animation at 50Hz. The reason this game sucks is that the designers tried to make the CPC do something it wasn't good at, perhaps because the game was a straight port from the ZX Spectrum. |

Oh I know Amstrad didn't even document the hardware features, and it's a shame. It's good to see new games using them, though. Makes you realise the CPC was probably the most powerful of the popular 8bits.
... if you accept those hardware features being used. |

It's kind of ironic that Retro is moaning about someone moaning I guess he can stay anyway.

Why the heck is it only 5fps? I've seen BBC Micro games that zipped along faster!

Retro1234, this is NOT a "cool game". And someone has to call out quality control on these poor games, especially when spending money to buy them is involved. |

~30+ years ago that should have happened. Now we gripe and groan about what could have been and what shouldn't have been. |
