This,

https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/c...rs#screenshots

It is actually quite good looking game. Some latter scenes look much nicer, than ones on HOL.

City cars start 27,17

Here more screens http://amiga.frey-united.com/car-rac...city-cars#game

Seems that this is shareware game by Allan and John Sturgess

Not sure about framerate but has hills/scenery and crossings, unlike Vrooom/Lotus etc. Bit of a change to not see billboards or billboard bushes etc along the gently curving road.

That is impressive. I like the cloud effects and it's very smooth.

Same here, found out about this pastoral racing game only recently, a slave or one of these "fixed for 1MB A500's" versions would be nice.

What about WHDLoad for this one?

There are generally bad reviews of this game's demo. Main problem of demo was game wasn't fast enough. It is fast when played faster machine.

I have mixed feelings for this game, it has some unique features, but also very ugly graphics time to time.

Whdload would nice, thanks.

whdload in progress. Strange loader, failing protection. Not as easy as it could have been...

The second game of that era (after Fatal Noise) which reverted back to trackload which makes them non suitable for Generic Kick...

spent a few hours on it today (not a piece of cake after all) and it runs with a lot of restrictions ATM.

I'm curious, what kind of restrictions? What version of game you are using? I mean it was published two men company? Are originals available some where and Planet Emulation has extra disk 1 only 18kb. There is no readme or anything. Disk one is dos disk, but disk 2 is not?

I mean runs with chipmem only, and with flickering display.

More work but will happen.

Makes me think of a faster Test Drive 2 (which also had flickering that I fixed)

This game has some potential. Bad that it is mixture of all kind of graphics. Some game objects would need remake.
