XWheels Grandslam - A PC nod to classic racing game Super Cars from the Amiga? Hell ya! [Prototype]

I'm a huge top down racer fan, but truth be told, so many are utterly rubbish. I remember playing Micro Machines, Supercars and the like, against friends and had so much fun doing so. Well we now have a new contender on the scene, with 'XWheels Grandslam' by -Corso-. And while it is just a prototype, and unsure if it will be turned into a full game, the description of "In reference to Supercars 1 & 2 on the Amiga, this could be considered a remake with more hand drawn, hand painted artwork with enhanced destructible environments and increased difficulty", caught my attention enough for an article!


And here's the full details. "This game is a reflection of the 1990's era super cars and the arcade video games about them. It has meticulously hand drawn tracks with pixel art vehicles to give an overall sense of vitality and beauty. Despite the objective to smash as much as you possibly can while you race overpowered sports machines. Choose from several tracks, with destructible environments such as: shopping centres, national geological treasure caves, farmlands, mining sites, jungle and dirt roads, multiple railway crossings, china shops, active volcanoes and even an Amazoom warehouse".

  4. The destructible environments look nice. If you are into MicroMachines style racing, then check out Topdown Turbos https://gx.games/games/v5p17o/topdown-turbos-car-racing-and-drifting/

  5. Just played the demo and it's a lot of fun! Really polished with some great details. Cool to be able to zoom in and out of the track too, to select your preferred view.

    Looks like a lot of work went into this one, excited for the final release w. controller support!

    Keep up the great work!

  7. This looks really cool! The engine looks like it could do an impressive modern take on The Last V8.
