Famicom Grand Prix II : 3D Hot Rally - An entertaining Famicom racer fully translated

Playing in a similar style to that of Rad Racer with a flavour of

Stunt Car Racer - The best stunt car game on the Amiga easily launch-able on PC and MAC

Of all the games to appear on the Amiga, this in my opinion was one of the best stunt style racers and one of Geoff Crammonds finest games,  it had some of the craziest tracks ever with one of them being the ultimate track the "Ski Jump". Yet what made it so good was not just the feeling of speed, but the thrill of accelerating into the sky and coming back down with an almighty crack,

OutRun CPC - An Amstrad CPC style remake of a hit racer gets a beta update

In 1986 Sega released one of the coolest racers of our time, it was none other than Out Run. An Arcade racer designed by Yu Suzuki, that was not only a commercial success but became one of the best selling games of its time with great graphics, fantastic music and fast paced track racing. It was just a shame however, the Amstrad CPC port was terrible with poor frame rates, colours and sound

The evolution of Formula 1 racing games 1976-2015 via jdmikeg4

I've always been amazed how far we've come in computer games, and how graphically impressive they are to almost life like situations instead of how they looked all those years ago. One such video which was shown in 2015, gave us a look into the evolution of Formula 1 racing games, from 1976 all the way up to 2015. Impressive indeed, but one that stood out for me, is the excellent Amiga racer '

Gravity Star Rescue Racer - Early work in progress Arcade game inspired by Thrust

Denis Evans from the wicked retro gaming store The Retro Cavern,  has contacted me about his new game that's in development for Mac, iOS, Android, and possibly PC via HTML5, 'Gravity Star Rescue Racer'. Taking inspirations from that classic game Thrust but with a unique twist, Gravity Star Race is more of a shoot em up affair as you have to blast everything under ground while keeping an eye on

All hail Chase HQ! Bow before thee! Kneel at the altar and praise the gods at Ocean for creating this masterpiece. *gets on knees and prays* When it comes to arcade conversions, there are few equal to that of this piece of Spectrum genius. All the fun of the original arcade game (minus the seats - except the one on your sofa, I guess) has been squeezed into your modest little Speccy's

Speeding on the A 81 - Steering wheel based C64 release by Technische Maschinenfabrik

Checking our messages we came across one by Genesis Project wondering how we missed their latest trainered C64 game ' Speeding on the A 81 ', which only just recently was released by Technische Maschinenfabrik. Well for two simple reasons, one being extra busy and two I thought it was an educational game. Yet how wrong I was as this game is nothing to do with education, as it is in fact a high
