Another request. Would you consider adding this Crazy Cars remake to the Genesis / Mega Drive roster?



It's not the best game in the series, that would be part III, but still...

This game is more a raw conversion (from Amstrad CPC version) than a "remake"... in any case, now the related support is on the roster! ;)

Thank you very much!  :biggrin:

EDIT: I was an Amstrad user back in the day. Maybe that's what made me want this game so much, even if I didn't play in on real hardware.

I was a happy C64 user (during my childhood), but I was intrigued from the Amstrad CPC, especially for the better color palette (27 colors instead of 16)... ;)

A cool machine too. In other boards I've become tired of "my 8-bit computer was better than yours" threads. The thing is that every machine seems to be better than the rest in something.

- The Amstrad CPC has a better palette than the ZX Spectrum, and as much games available.
- But the Spectrum has clearer graphics, because they use a higher resolution.
- The C64 has faster graphics and better sound than these two, but had less software available in Europe.
- The MSX had also good graphics and sound, but most of the available games were poor Spectrum conversions. Cart games were a different matter entirely, but are hard to find and pricey.

I didn't know any C64 users in the 1980s, so it was kind of a surprise when I first started emulating the computer. At first I was appalled at the muted colors and the somehow chunky sprites, but with time I've learned to like the machine. The fact that the games never resemble the rest of their 8-bit versions, the cool musics, or that classics like "Turrican" originated on this machine. The exclusive games also help. Wish I could hav played "Test Drive" or "Maniac Mansion" on my CPC.

When I was young I had a lot of fun collecting and copying disks on c64.  ...25 years later..
In 2011 - 2013 I made it a mission to play every single c64 game in existence!
Luckily in 2014 I found fbneo (it was called something else back then), it's been very usefull to help save me from the PTSD caused by the 2011-2013 mission....

The "home computer war" was a classic (like the console war)... almost all users claimed that own computer was better than others!  :p Now, we can "see" the matter with more objectivity! :)

Don't forget to try C64 "Mayhem in Monsterland", probably one of the best platform game ever made for the 8bit computers! ;)

Wow! An epic mission! If I'm not wrong, the C64 (barring the recent homebrews) should have more than 10 thousand different software titles!  :eek:  :biggrin:

C64 games I used to like:
Creatures 1, 2 (one is platformer, the other is a puzzler)
Rainbow Islands
It's Magic 1, 2
X-Out
Ghouls 'n Ghosts - the music of this game is very epic, and the ending music of this game inspired me to get very good at g&g/gh&g
It takes a special type of insanity to get good at the C64 ghouls n ghosts especially with the lack of a second firebutton.  Imagine having to shoot upwards when up also jumps?  ...  Red Arremers were tough on the c64.

Today though, I'll recommend the PCE SuperGrafx version of Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Dai Makaimura / sgx_daimakai)
