Enduro Racer #AtariSTe




Yet another Atari STe game #indev

Enduro Racer is one of my favourite Atari ST racers because it's fast, fun and an uncomplicated thrill. In fact, it's the classic arcade racer and our conversion is pretty good considering the age of this 1987 release!

As you can imagine, I was excited to find out that Peter Jørgensen (Mr Manic Miner himself!) has begun development of an enhanced update specifically for the Atari STe!! He's graciously given me the latest beta and it's looking impressive with many improvements - more are planned. This version is very fast!!

  1. The Blitter is utilised to push a brisk framerate!
  2. Expect many more colours on-screen at once.
  3. Usage of the extended palette.
  4. Remaster YMT music of the original ST scores by legend David Whittaker.
  5. Arcade samples played using the DMA hardware.

From what I've seen, heard, and played, this is tremendous!! To take one of my favourite Atari ST racers, and improve upon it using the STe hardware, is mind-blowing!! Good luck Peter - I cannot wait!!

Don't go just yet, check out these screenshots and... watch this space... :-)
