The Best Amiga Racing Games

kad3t · 25 March 2022, 21:53

Hey,

My list of best Amiga Racing Games. Under 10 minutes. I seem to getting bit better with each video. Still far from perfect but I suppose it's a process that one has to go through.

Anyway, the games you'll find in the video are ones I loved most years ago. And I gotta say that I sunk in, in the first spot on this list, while recording the content for the video. And played it way longer than I probably should have given I've daily work and everything now... Still, it was fun making it and I hope it's at least enjoyable for you guys too.

Let me know if there's a game or games that should've been here in your opinion but aren't. I too, after all, am keen on learning new titles I've not had a chance to play before.

Ps. ATR, I know, but dear God, I just can't... This game is so beyond me. xD

Probably Outrun: Europe would be a contender on MY top 10 list. I like that it has some variation to it.

And Super Monaco GP. The game is unforgiving but it was the first smooth racing game I owned after the 5 FPS mess that is Turbo Outrun... I can still remember seeing the screenshots in an Amiga Action magazine and being completely blown away.

If someone would make a Moonshine Racers with a better framerate that game would go on the list as well. There is just something unique about the Smokey and the Bandit aspect that it has, at least they tried to do something original with it.

I forgot about this one. Probably erased it from my memory just because it shares title with Turbo Outrun that was such a missed opportunity on the Amiga...

It's only mouse controlled if I'm not mistaken, right? I have a kinda of a vague memory of this one. It was quite smooth like F1/Vroom too, right?

No second prize ..wow, I played that endlessly on my souped-up A500... I felt it really conveyed a sense of speed.
