Virtual Karting 2

[lassie]

Hi have any of you played Virtual Karting 2? I found it on one of my hard disks so have been playing it a lot. I think its quite a cool game

Ive played it some. It never appealed me a lot, I was quite disappointed when it was released in 1998 since I was expecting more from such a lata AGA game, but the game play is above avrage atleast  If you like it try XTreme Racing

Okay i must try XTreme racing next. i even belive it is already on one of my hard disks

Give powerdrome a go. I rember that one been entertaining. http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=860
 
There was another one that I liked but I cant remember what the hell they call it. if i remember what they call it I will let you know.

Hi yes that looks like a cool game too i have never tried it before, but i will have a look if i have it

Also if you like racing games, give 4D sports Driving a go! Not the easiest game but it's loads of fun and looks good and you can make your own maps, so it's a bit hard to control but when you get the hang of it you will have many hours of fun trying to beat the master tracks

I must check out 4D sports Driving some more. I have just tried it a few times looks like a cool game

I have been playing this game on my CD32 (with SX32 & 8MB Fast RAM) all morning. It's a shame there was never an option for 1x1 pixel mode so Amigas with faster CPUs wouldn't need the screen dithered, and it plays tricks with the S-Video output, so I need to play it through Composite. The game itself is fun and very playable, if there's one thing I hate about some racing games it's sliding completely off the track around every corner but the karts in this game really cling to the road. The music and sound effects are nice, the presentation is alright.

As a kart racing simulation it's spot-on, but there's not really a lot of variety in the game, so it's the kind of thing you pick up and play for a few races every now and then. It's let down by having no 2-player option either, I would have loved to race against a friend over a null-modem cable to another Amiga.

Despite my criticisms I still like the game.

Have a look at Flyin' High too  http://hol.abime.net/586

Yes a lot of people dislike it but i thinks it an alright game. I have a lot of fun with it on my Amiga 1200 and 43 inch screen even if the game is a little blurry at times what are a SX32 to be presise?

I also have 2 Amiga cd32 so it could be nice to know what a SX32 is and what it goes for these days if i wanted to upgrade my cd32

[lassie]

The SX32 is an expansion for the CD32 that came out in the 90s, it lets you add 8MB FastRAM, an IDE drive, and has ports on the back for VGA, Parallel, Serial, Disk Drive and RGB. They're pretty rare and very expensive when they're for sale on eBay, which is why a bunch of us have been hoping for years to develop a new, cheaper expansion for the CD32.

Thanks for your answer it sounds like a nice upgarde for the Cd32. Lets hope someone can make a new, to a better price than this one.
