When I was young I used to love playing the very latest in 16bit/32bit racers such as Outrun, Lotus or even XJ220 on the Amiga. It was a time that gave me the feeling of intense speed and near misses without driving a real car and ending up in the local clink. Thankfully if you too like games like that, or even ones with a more science fiction element to them, then make sure to keep an eye on Hyper Runner; An upcoming sci-fi racer for the Commodore Amiga by Raster Wizards that looks even better in this latest footage!
When I was young you would've seen me at the local Arcades or at home playing the very latest in 16bit/32bit racers such as Outrun, Lotus or even XJ220 on the Amiga.

Thankfully if you too like games like that, or even ones with a more science fiction element to them, then make sure to keep an eye on Hyper Runner; An upcoming sci-fi racer for the Commodore Amiga by Raster Wizards that looks wicked cool!
If you're looking for something slightly different to start the week, then look no further than the upcoming PC game 'Super Woden GP' from ViJuDa; a top down racing game that's due for release 1st Sept on Steam, which pits you against other racers as a dynamic driving system that’s simple to learn, yet deep and rewarding. As the developer says "feel the excitement of the 90s with its isometric perspective, its huge number of vehicles and its brilliant soundtrack".
Great news if you're looking for something fresh for your Commodore 64 other than all the Shoot 'em ups we keep featuring, as thanks to Milo giving us the heads up via Facebook, we've been told Protovision will soon be publishing a brand new Arcade racing game called 'Muddy Racers'. A game in which playing as one of four racers each with their own personalities, must race around a track, bouncing into other opponents while hoping to win the top spot in the Leaderboard.
We've just had a double heads up today for new Amiga news, as both Saberman and Per Ola has just told us, that you can now download Luigi Recanatese's new Commodore Amiga racing game of 'Knight Rider 77'; a simple car racer reminiscent of late 70s games, which was written in Amiblitz 3.8.0 and is a hark back to the days of the TV show "Knight Rider"... Yes the music of Knight Rider does play in the game the further you race up the track!
Of all the games to appear on the Amiga, Stunt Car Racer was one of the best stunt style racers and one of Geoff Crammonds finest games, it had some of the craziest tracks ever with one of them being the ultimate track the "Ski Jump". Yet what made it so good was not just the feeling of speed, but the thrill of accelerating into the sky and coming back down with an almighty crack, especially if you ended up missing the track altogether. So you can probably see why I'm just that little bit excited today, as a fan by the name of Dangerous Dirk Interactive is remaking the game into 'Stunt Car Mania'.
