It's kind of amazing to see what we put up with all those years ago when it came to gameplay issues. All those frustrations coming back within minutes of playing this game on my psp.
Instant slow-down or stoppage when hitting other cars or track side objects.
AI able to drive through objects.
AI not having to pit to fill up on fuel.
And yet, I still find myself going back and trying again and again.
Damn it's an addictive game

Indeed, I remember when Lotus 2 came out, My dad had on release day, so my brother "borrowed" it from his shop, and I remember getting to the last level, was on it for like 12 hours, playing over and over. Went to bed about 5 in the morning, lol. Fun days, fun days.
Lotus 2 plays quite well with sound once its loaded.

i havent tried the Lotus games yet, since last time i did they were unplayable.
woulda thougt it needs sound off though, since pspuae doesnt seem to handle games with moving stuff or scrolling very well usually.
Lotus 2 i remember playing 4-player over serial linkup with my 2 borthers and a mate of mine.... damn those were good times!

well, dont know how nik picky you are, but I think they run fine, jaguar plays fine to.

Lotus 1 & 2 are really cool games. All three have some cool music tracks too!
-
Split topic so the music chat can continue in 'Amiga Tunes'.
:)
One good thing I've discovered about the slower frame rate the emu currently runs at is that it does make playing this game easier. Will have to create some space in my study so I can set up my A500 and then hunt for the disk to this game.
Gotta play this game at full speed just to see how bad I really am at it now.
-
want a really challenge?
bang some loud dance tracks on (or theme remixes) load it up on winUAE and up the FPS to about 70-80.
*thats* a challenge!!
-
WOO HOOOOOO!!!!
Found the disk ;D
Now to see how this game plays on a 32" Widescreen TV.
-
My eyes hurt.
Somehow I don't think the resolution of the Amiga was designed for such large TV's.
Funny thing though, running at full speed I actually played better then on the PSP.

Must just be me, but I think it looks fine on my Widescreen TV

well it'll depend on all sorts of things... LCD vs Cathode Ray.... Composite / RGB / Scart vs RF signal....
the PC is a bit fuzzy on this cathode ray wide TV, but its pretty good for games. the amiga is connected by composite itself and actually looks far better than the PC does!

lol, LCD / PLASMA, I wouldnt touch that crap (trust me I know, they all suck, LCD should stick to what it was designed for, PC`s). Cathode Ray Tube all the way, I challenge anyone to beat RGB, and before people start quoting junk, like component and HDTV, do your research. 1 scart lead, and your done, HDMI requires you to have HD TV (EXPENSIVE) and HD SOURCES (AGAIN EXPENSIVE).
Bet Horace loves his RGB on this SONY, ;)
*EDIT, must be me, I haveto stop dragging topics off topic, sorry all, ;)
-
ok, but try moving a cathode ray of this size up the bleeding stairs!!!!
sod that for a game of soldiers!
also this thing is still blurrerier than my LCD.... but can hide divx etc blemishes better!
-
I use to hook my Amiga to a projector when watching demos. That works pretty fine I think. Ah, I just love how the Amiga processes visual effects and colors, have tried to copy that "filter" with my videoproductions by lowering color amount, lowering resolution etc. without luck. You can´t pretend magic.

lmao, projector is CRT (unless its a newer LCD projector), but you are correct you cant protend magic, ;).

Can one of the admins edit the Drive Speed for this game to Turbo please.

I remember the Lotus Series as my favourite driving games on the Amiga
Passwords like Turpentine and Pea Soup are some of the sketchy memories I have. I've downloaded the saved game states for these games, so I wonder how I'll get on with them, what, 15 years later

Aye, they are great, spent many a sleepover playing lotus all night. The only 1's I remember are E-BOW, cant remember which level that unlocks on L2. They all run quite smooth if you get he settings right.

TWILIGHT - level 2 (night time city) on Lotus 2
LIVERPOOL - for the motorway level
