3D Racers...what's your favourite?
I'm talking along the lines of outrun and super hang-on
A personal fave is Nightmare Rally (more for the loading screen), I really wanted to like lotus but I didn't like the split screen.
Gotta be Chase H.Q., it was better on the speccy than on my pc engine.

Yeah, Chase HQ has to be the best one on the Speccy...and Super Hang On was probably the best bike one....
Enduro Racer was pretty cool too, though!
I also spent way longer than I should have playing Twin Turbo V8.....which could hardly be described as 3D or as a racer....Hehe..
even the same in game cheat key works
YAY!!! I loved that game too :D I never completed it, but I used to be able to get quite some way! It's not aged very well though :lol:
I always liked Crazy Cars II
It's very smooth and fast, plus, it came with a massive map. Not a great deal to do mind you, but still good fun to have a drive around in!
it was a nice idea to do it in wireframe, but I found it too sluggish to play
Neither was Cisco Heat or Roadblasters.
I really enjoyed that game too. I like the nice touch with the clouds. Very slow to play now, but ramp up the emulator speed and it's not too bad at all.
hehe, that's what happens when you rely on spell check and don't check the spell check.
(Checkered on American spell check btw)
nope.
I mean *I* relied on spell check (it changed chequered to Conquered on me)...chequered comes up as error as it want's it to be checkered and I just automatically *corrected* it (wrongly obviously) without looking at it.
Talking about erroeurs :razz:
Yes, and beans is spelled with an s, not a z!
I don't know...what are they teaching at school these days! ;)
Always knew you were a Commodian :p
Enduro Racer was, however, awesome.
with Wec Le Mans in close second (although the Amstrad version was a tad better)
Most are good tho, with Chase HQ, Miami Cobra, and even Crazy Cars providing a lot of fun.
Other good games are Enduro Racer, Out Run & Speed King II (remember spending hours and hours playing Speed King II)...
I quite enjoyed this on the CPC.. A bit blocky however..
Nightmare Rally was also surprisingly good. Found games such as Power Drift to be very poor graphically, shame as i remember hoping this conversion would have turned out alright.
I always had a liking for Chequered Flag too - I liked the 'realism' of it. Great fun playing against my mate trying to beat each others times.
I rather like Chequered Flag too though and I don't think time has been that unkind to it. The only real gripe with it is much the same as when it came out; with just you on the track the only racing you do is against the clock.

In spite of I find now Chequered Flag a very very crappy game, I have fond memories of it... a question of nostalgia, I suppose... :-)
