Super Cars

Supercars is a system developed by the British software vendors Magnetic Fields computer game. It appeared in 1990 Gremlin Graphics. The great success of the game, which was released for the Commodore Amiga and C64, pulled a year later an improved continuation after themselves.

Gameplay

Supercars is a "top down" racing game, which means you play from a bird's perspective. There are various courses of three racing classes that need to be mastered. In the shop you can equip his vehicle with extras such as improved cornering or even a kind of expendable launch. The three different vehicles available to the players at his disposal are modeled after original sports car.

The continuation

Supercars 2 improved the predecessor by implemented a two-player mode ( unusual: with vertically split split screen ), even more gimicks in the shop was providing ( among other things significantly more rockets, mines, armor, etc.) and more witty dialogue changes, etc. einbaute with potential sponsors or policemen. Furthermore, there are routes with jumps over one or more ramps, rides through tunnels and over railroad tracks (including rail) and to opening doors, through which you can abbreviate.
