Title: Lotus Turbo Challenge 2
Post by: sumner7 on May 19, 2004, 12:04:35 PM
I used to love playing this game. It was hard so sometimes i would use the password Turpentine to get unlimited fuel. I then ended out top of the leader board but it is certainly one of the best games I have played onb the amiga. Anyone agree? :-D

Hi,
I agree with you, but AFAIK you never ran out of fuel in Lotus 2.
This feature was in Lotus 1 and probably in Lotus III. I'm not sure about the third, but absolutely the with the others.
Anyway, Lotus Trilogy roxx! :-)

@nOw2

Yes, you're right. I was thinking about fuel because that's what you have in Lotus 3. I've been playing that game too much lately. :-D

3's level editor was nice, and I liked 1 for the refueling and general 'sparseness' ... and the mechanics working on the car all the time ;-)

TURPENTINE - Unlimited Time

Why was liverpool the password for the highway course? Was it based in Liverpool by any chance? :-?

Lotus II was once the most beautiful racing game for Amiga. Today it looks just silly...

Yeehaw!!!!! Turbo!!!!!! Checkpoint!!!!!!
Marks, Set, Go...  Congratulations!!

:-D  :-D  Sorry folks, I couldn't resist.

There were 8 levels if I recall correctly.

Forest - No Password
Night  - Twilight
Fog    - Pea Soup
Snow   - ?
Desert - ?
Marsh  - ?
Motorway - Liverpool
Storm  - E Bow

Does anyone remember those missing three passwords?
Thanks to the Retro Gamer CD, I've been playing this recently, but I can't get it to reliably work, I'll have to play about with the Winuae configs.

Cheers,

Graham C

Boy!!!
You people give wayyy too much credit to this game. I have always believed this game sucked..............all 3 of them.........they may have had nice menus and music and intro, but the controls were so fake!  your actually moving the screen and not the car!

 although Jaguar XJ220 had the same control it was slightly better.

but if you want to know what a car game should feel like more or less, then try CRAZY CARS 3 and Batman the Movie (the second level)  that driving part alone for Batmman was wayy better than all 3 seires of Lotus 3, and I Happen to have the best versions of Lotus (CD32 version)  with CD music and all.

 But seriously....whenever I looked at car games on SNES and saw Amigas versions.I was disappointed. So far I have found nothing better than Crazy Carss 3 and Overlander and Batman, when it comes to that type of racing. ChaseHQ could have been better but was too slow and the gfx were too tiny.
