Highway Hawks

I really like this game. I have the original disks and manicx even made me some IPFs of them. I've always wanted a hard disk version. It doesn't take that much time to load from floppies, but I would kill for some sort of cheat code as it's painfully hard (there's a damn car that shoots at you and may kill you with only one bullet, which is cruel if you've managed to stay alive for 45 minutes).
So... please? I can send the disks anywhere if the IPFs are not enough.

eh... you're just an ANCO fanboy, aren't you?

Thanx to Alkis21 for bringing this forgotten gem to my attention. This game provides the fastest arcade racing experience I've witnessed on an Amiga! This game deserves a WHDLoad HD install.

BTW, RetroGAMER issue 22 ran an article on the A1200 "the machine that refused to die". They listed a top 100 of AGA games which all retro fiends should seek out. However, they failed to mention "Virtual Grand Prix"?

Guilty as charged.

I have started the slave for this game, and it's beginning to work (an access fault still to fix, but that should be no problem).

I did not know this game, but the pseudo-3D is impressive for 1988!!

I'd be interested by IPF images (because I only have DIC images, and I don't know where the protection track is (needed for the install script))
send me a private message if you can send me the .IPFs.
