Lotus series fans! ya gotta try Amiga Racer for OS4.1, MorphOS or Linux

[klx300r]

guys was chatting with the developer and shockingly only 2 americans and one canadian have registered for this NG Lotus style game :-?

The game is in constantly updated and if you like the orignal Lotus series of games then I guarantee you'll love this game on your NG Amiga or Linux!

download it at AmigaTec's homepage and if you like it consider making a donation to get your custom key that will let you create your own tracks so people all over the world can play them! Also in the works is the ability to play online with other users which is uber cool :-D

Update:
- there are many many registered users from all over the  world with the exception of US & Canada so that's why I'm pushing  for users on the other side of the pond

- AmigaRacer is available on AmigaOS4.1, MorphOS, Windows, Linux & Raspberry Pi

@klx300r

Wow that is cool. I am 1 of the two americans that is registered!!  AmigaOS4.1 FE

Cool. I pick a number of developers a year and donate every month of the year to them. The first pick this year was Michael St. Neitzel the developer of Amiga Racer. I have donated about $6500 over the last 3 years. It's a great game!!

cool and lol as I'm the one Canadian.


@ Yasu

to be clear, only in US & Canada there are currently very small amount of registered users  but developer (Mike) says there are many from other parts of world so  just wanting to push those on the other side of the pond (actually  reminds me to update main post)

Downloaded on my X1000 and unpacked. FANTASTIC!!! I'm in! I will Register and Donate. It's not like buying a new shiny box with a disk, but it's good to see new stuff. Runs great on my X1000. I hope they develope other games as well.

Cheers!!

Kookytech tests Amiga Racer.

cool vid! thanks for sharing & I it's great that a 68k version is the works:)

good news from the Amiga Racer developer Mike :

"Amiga Racer Version 2.9c is available for download/update.
This version includes a lot of bugfixes, also the problem that some machines with AmigaOS4 could not reach the first checkpoint when using ARCS has been addressed."

Also, AmigaTec / Amiga Racer will be present at the GamesCom 2016 in Cologne.
We will have our own Amiga Booth there and showing Amiga Racer on several systems including the Amiga Racer Arcade machine. There will be also news about the new 68k game that gets developed besides Amiga Racer. Of course we will take pictures and videos from that event and we will share it with people that have supported us with donations so far! "

another update:

Hi,

this is another major update that addresses many user feedback.
Finally we have now (as from many users wished) a proper lotus turbo challenge start!
Exactly as in Lotus you're driving against 20 opponent cars now. The race start is now completely different.

More information about this update can be found here:
http://amigatec.com/drupal/?q=node/260

This update also fixes a bug that slowed down some players when passing the checkpoints.

Couple of fixes, including the Mercedes is now fully animated (rotating wheels, working breaking lights)

Mike :-)

another update: btw, in this version I noticed a bug on the gas button where it intermittently stops working and I have to press the button again to get acceleration back, I've reported this already so hopefully it gets fixed soon.


----------------------------------------



Amiga Racer Version 3.93 Update available! This update includes now a smart information system (including version checking system), so it will alert you automatically when there is a new version available! You can then directly press Space (or Firebutton) to autoupdate or press Cancel (ESC) and update later within the Game Menu Live Updater. The game will also remind you now if you are driving with the generic Collector's Edition Elite key that you should register your name for all online tournament functionality. I saw in the server logfiles that quite a lot of people driving the Online Tournament with the generic key. Once you have purchased the Collector's Edition Elite (or the Collector's Edition Online) you can easily request (for free) your personalized keyfile to join Online Highscore in the tournament.
