Amstrad owners if you are feeling a little left out worry not! As looking through my inbox for new games to talk about, and Xenomorph was kind enough to let us know, that Titan has released the new Amstrad CPC game of 'Speed Racer' by RetroPoke. A multiplayer Tron like game, that features different rounds of fun for up to 3 players pitted against each other. To coincide with this news, below is the latest details as well as footage from Xenomorph.
And here's what was said to us in our inbox. "Take control of an ultra-futuristic racing car and face up to seven opponents simultaneously. SPEED RACER is a game based on the movie TRON, written entirely in assembly language, so speed is key. Challenge up to three of your friends (2 on keyboard and 2 joysticks) for devilish battles. So, who'll be on the track"
Sound like your sort of game? Good! Then head on over to the link (HERE) to check it out.
This is really one of the cool games I've seen that try to do the whole TRON lightcycle thing. Most of them ... actually ALL of them that I've seen before, use one pixel and draw very thin lines. VERY thin lines. That puts up an extra challenge on trying to accurately scrape past evil walls, but that quickly turns into a bit of frustration, too. It can still happen here, but visually it's just a ton more pleasant, probably more playable, and who knows, you could come up with some extra challenges, like them actually having to navigate very crude mazes, like "deathmatch maps", pickups, etc.
