Stunt Car Racer running at a super smooth 60fps on the Amiga? [BETA UPDATE]

In the late 80's, Geoff Crammond released the incredible game of ' Stunt Car Racer '. It involved you the player, racing around a 3D track in a first person view using a vehicle which had boost capabilities. It was also one of the greatest racing games ever released and what made it so great was the fact that all of the tracks were like rollercoasters, with such dangerous driving and incredible heights involved it would've killed anyone if it was real life. But this month as a bit of a shock, a coder by the name of Vesuri looks to be working on an Amiga version of Stunt Car Racer that's running at a smooth 60fps. Something Amiga owners have been wanting for a very long time.

With the amount of news stories throughout the last week and the weekend just gone, you'd think we'd take a break, but not so!

Axis - Escape the Aliens in this new C64 port from AnyStone Games

The Commodore 64’s library has grown even bigger today with the official release of Axis, a high-stakes "escape" title developed by AnyStone Games. Born from the legacy of Zsolt Bertók’s (Bery) original Videoton TV Computer game of the same name, this modern C64 rendition was crafted using the powerful TRSE (Turbo Rascal Syntax Error) development tool. In a departure from the typical "run-and-gun" action found on the platform, Axis strips the player of all weaponry. There is no shooting or fighting here—our protagonist must rely entirely on speed, timing, and nerves of steel. The objective is simple but daunting: navigate through 10 perilous sectors to find the exit door that can only be opened with the right key card.

Astro Warrior - A classic Sega Master System game arrives on the ZX Spectrum NEXT

The ZX Spectrum Next library continues to grow, this time breathing new life into a Sega classic. Developer dave18 has successfully ported the iconic Sega Master System (SMS) shooter called Astro Warrior over to the Next, a project born out of a nostalgic desire to test the architectural boundaries between the two machines. The developer chose Astro Warrior because it was the first game they ever owned for the SMS. While the port was created "just for fun," the result is a polished conversion that highlights the impressive technical overlap between the Sega and the modern(like) Sinclair hardware.

Alien Breed as a demake demo for the ZX Spectrum 128k looks seriously cool

The legendary 1991 Amiga shooter Alien Breed has unofficially landed on the ZX Spectrum 128k in a new, high-performance demake demo. Developed as a "loose adaptation" rather than a carbon copy, this project aims to fill a long-standing gap in the Spectrum’s library: the lack of fast, fluid, top-down shooters with full-screen scrolling. While the original Alien Breed was one of the games that put Team17 on the map, this demake brings that same intense sci-fi atmosphere to the humble Speccy. The developer noted that the goal was to capture the "fast and fluid" feel of the 16-bit original, leveraging the advanced capabilities of the ZX Spectrum 128k.
