Hello all,
Last evening I completed the awesome top-down racer Nitro! Woohoo!
I played the Amiga version on my MIST FPGA in the living room. Played as Cyborg Clint Eastwood, hehe.
It’s such a cool game and I highly recommend it for all retro gamers out there. I might be a bit biased, since I played this game a lot when I was a child. 😀 I will probably do a full review of Nitro some time in the future.
I took a few screenshots of it on the emulator here on the PC, but it looks much better when running on the MIST hooked up to a CRT. The game “feels” better too on the MIST, just like a real Amiga.
If you decide to give this game a go, you can download it here:

Here’s a few pics from the emulator:

Ah we were talking about this the other day, weren’t we? Seemed like a pretty underrated game from Psygnosis. I loved games like this (do you remember Supercars 2?) So many great memories – thanks for this retrospective!

You’re welcome. 🙂 You mention Supercars 2.. that’s a good one! Haven’t played it for a long time. Will have a go at it again I think. Was that the one with all the drivers questions?

I can’t remember – will need to check it out again. All I remember was the fast-paced two-player mode, and being able to fire missiles at other cars, and dropping mines for drivers behind you to crash into!

Yes, that was awesome. 🙂 I’ll let you know after I’ve played it again.

SuperCars2 was a truly fantastic game… spent many days in that game back then on my A500 😉
