Lotus 2 is one of the best driving games of its generation, so it was worth taking the time to create a new 1440p recording of the quintessential Amiga racer!

Forent & Night - piece of cake, could finish with some 20 seconds to spare. Fog - noticeable increase in difficulty. Winter - quite easy once you learned to avoid skidding too much. Desert - end up out of the track and it takes forever to regain speed. Motorway - quite pleasant after all. Marshes - miss one extra time and you're in trouble. Storm - forgives no mistake. The only thing missing was the lack of in-game music, but on the other hand the sound of engine was quite useful for manual gear.

I remember feeling that this game was strangely easy when compared to other comparable racing games of that era, like Outrun for example. I first played it when my father took me to visit a friend and that friend would let me play on his Amiga 500 while the two of them were watching sports together. I just drove and drove and drove for hours without the game stopping me or getting too hard.
