Shock!! This isn't a JOTD Arcade to Amiga port! As I've found out through our Commodore Amiga Facebook group that Modern Vintage Gamer is not only still working on an Arcade to Amiga port of the top down racing game called 'Zippy Race', also known as MotoRace USA in the states, but as of today you can play the first alpha released to the public. A game in which the player controls a racer who must travel on a motorcycle from Los Angeles to New York City. To coincide with this news, MVG has provided a short game play video with inclusive screenshots.
Here's the latest about the game from the website. "This is a conversion of Zippy Race - an early 1983 arcade game by Irem to the OCS Amiga. Please note, that this is a fan conversion - no reverse engineering was performed in any capacity. This is not a transcoded game and as such the entire game was written by hand to match the original arcade game as closely as possible. There will be some differences. I've made a public alpha test release available to get feedback. Please let me know what you think!
Features:
- - Full Zippy Race game with 500cc, 750cc and 1200cc loops
- - All stages faithfully recreated
- - Arcade Music converted to ProTracker format
- - Optimized for speed, runs at 50/60fps on any Amiga with 1Meg
As this is a fan conversion, it is being given away for free. The entire game was written in C with some assembly
