Supercars International DOS (hopefully not too off topic!)

You're absolutely right.
The palette is different, as you'll no doubt know.
It's very disappointing that we didn't get new tracks!
I have looked at your 'REMIX' tracks and love those! I will have to learn the editor.

I am currently creating a newer, slightly higher-res sprite for the main car. It's only a start, and I need to re-colour it green once I have finished but hopefully it will look nice when it's racing around the tracks:

I think the only thing so far (in the brief time I've had on it) that I'm not so keen on is the music. I'm loving the slightly more polished visuals though.

I'll have to try your super cars 3 java game that's posted on here too.

Yeah, I definitely enjoy Super Cars International too. For me it's the best in the series and it plays a lot smoother and feels more refined.

I like the whole International Tournament vibe this game gives with the player characters and attributes. I recommend people try it out.

I'd definitely like to see a complete 1:1 port of Super Cars International for Amiga, similar to the recent Turrican II AGA even though that was mostly coded from scratch.

If the source code is available then I think a port is definitely worth considering.

My guess would be that the baseline requirements are probably higher than AGA 020.
