Supercars II: CPC and Spectrum conversion. Do they exist?

lilalurl · 10 August 2012, 21:43

Currently the entry for SCII lists these 3 conversions:
Amstrad/Schneider CPC464/664/6128
Atari ST/E
Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128/+2/+3

However, I cannot find traces of other conversions than the ST version.
Looked on World of Spectrum and CPC Power and Mobygames.

http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?p...x=&position=11
http://www.mobygames.com/game/supercars-ii

While I can see the conversions for SC1, nothing for SC2.

Does anyone have any information that would justify the potential existence of the CPC and Spectrum conversions?

They probably don't exist. They were probably advertised back in the days but as the 8bit computers were in decline they probably have been canned.

I think Super Cars for Amstrad was failure because of speed and scrolling: [ Show youtube player ] Who wanted second part after seeing this.

Probably the people who worked on the sequel of Rise of the Robots

Although I must say I have not played this one so I don't know if it as bad as ROTR.
