Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 Longplay (Amiga) [QHD]

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

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!

[@crueltygaming]

True my friend, this was an amazing game back then . And I've played so much on my commodore Amiga 500. Good times. Thanks for sharing.👍😀

[@danielnicholson6174]

I was so impressed with this back in the day, loved the way the hills scrolled! I might try to get an original amiga 500 just to play this on my crt!

[@KretinoSantino]

Resolution is very important for VGA game. I would prefer video with sountrack.

[@tarstarkusz]

No, it really isn't. The original game displays at like 200 lines. 240p would show this game perfectly!!!

[@tarstarkusz]

@@KretinoSantino This is not a VGA game!!! Amiga is incompatible with VGA. 240p would capture this game fine. The whole stream is completely digital and so there is no problems like you would get by pointing a camera at a TV.

[@cbusbyuk]

That title screen music... Wow just brings back such great memories. Great upload.

[@MidnightSt]

all of the level screen musics... i always loved the night city one the most, right after the title song... i loved the transpositions in there, magical :)

[@RoqueFortStu]

Opinion differs as to which was the best game in the series, but Lotus 2 definitely has the best music

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

Goosebumps when you speed up in the 2nd level, rushing through the tunnels! Great nostalgic game one of the best racing games of all time!

[@leooliveira8513]

top racer is best

[@MrSimsim07]

The Intro music unforgettable since my childhood! I absolutely love it!

[@bighairydel]

the amiga was the best machine ever! This racing game is still one of the best ever made!!

[@iainmclaughlan1557]

I agree, I use my Amiga 600 regularly and got it in April 1994, it has been used so much.

[@notmanynamesleft]

Many hours of my childhood spent on this game! 👌

[@turrican4d599]

You mean 40 minutes.

[@notmanynamesleft]

@@turrican4d599 probably about 4000 minutes

[@CoolKD2005]

The music and the game takes me back to good times, sharing an A500 between 5 friends taking turns playing :)

[@benrichards399]

That music brings back memories...😢

[@relikvija]

Dude, my cousins friend (pure legend) brought his amiga with Lotus Turbo included, forever grateful!

[@Snitsie]

Played it on my dads DOS machine. Had been looking for the title for years. Honestly holds up better than i expected.

[@jamdias8449]

That music 😍 Memories…….

[@kalleok]

Thanks for ones again taking me back to my childhood!

[@MM-gt8cg]

Brilliant game. Defining racer for the Amiga

[@LeShark75]

If only this Dev team had handled the conversion of Out Run for the Amiga.

[@noaht2005]

That could have been awesome. Shame the Amiga got screwed over when it came to Japanese arcade games

Those were the days. Very nice game, i remember playing it a lot.

[@Vin-Roc]

Spent hours playing this in single racer mode and also in split screen versus mode, top game!

[@aaronmicalowe]

Gorgeous looking game. Jumping the logs also reminds me of Buggy Boy.

[@Chuck_vs._The_Comment_Section]

I recently dug out Lotus II myself and played it again. And to my shame I have to admit that I only made it to the second level. I also don't remember that I ever made it that far as a teenager. I don't know how you managed to play through it in one session. However, I'll give you a "RESPECT!" for that.

[@smartnothard2400]

Turpentine - time cheat 👍

[@SimonLippett-t2z]

I started to struggle at the marshland level. Loved the storm level with the power ups

[@kevintamas7164]

One of the best games and the best car racing game on amiga, especially with split screen. Checkpoint!

[@JeremyMcCormick4]

A Milestone in the Evolution of Racing-Game History.

[@kevincassidy1983]

I had this sound hooked up to my car. Kids never got it.

[@simonebernacchia5724]

For those who watch it now for the first time, in a real Amiga when you go under a tunnel the hardware audio filter turns on so is even more muffled than this [and in old 1.2 machines the red power LED turns on too]

[@trydowave]

This game still impresses the hell out of me. Especially the speed when you go over that hill and the road is drawn out far out to the distance in front of you.

[@billgordon6489]

My favourite driver on the Miggy but I can’t get my head around hitting a log to jump the water 😂

[@MCHmuzykaElektroniczna]

I received this game together with the purchased Amiga 500. Great game, great memories.😄👍

[@charlesdedaberli5059]

Beautiful song and game play. I m shivering

[@mo1603-x]

25:39 Pure nostalgia 🎵 💾

[@GT_177]

This is where sim racing started, for me anyway. It taught me outside inside outside if nothing else.

[@tossu123]

Soundtrack is pure gold. It's snowy: Christmass It's destert: Egipitan Music It's foggy: Horror music from Friday The 13th Night: Club House Music Storm: Hardcore xDDDD

[@Galvatron759]

Never heard of this game until about 2 days ago, can’t say it’s the best racing game I’ve played but it’s certainly in the top 10

[@emmaevans9498]

hell yeah, we loved his back in the day, ....& music!

[@Trivaldo99]

Can we talk about that last course… nailed it, didn’t hit a single rock 🔥

[@muskra66]

Loved the split screen racing.. Classic Nostalgia

[@Diecastjoe]

I loved how they made you re-fill your tank in the middle of a race and the 18 wheelers. 😅

[@hovermotion]

Such a good game....I still have the orignal game and box etc...

[@TenBear]

To this day, I remember the music of this. I love tracker music it's the soundtrack to my childhood.

[@UNIjoy]

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.

[@RA_Vencher26]

My first ever racing game... Chigga chig arrr

[@kalsolarUK]

Imagine if Outrun had been as well programmed as this.

[@therollingjokerx]

childhood memories I miss the good old days!❤

[@PacGuy765]

If you want to continue the Lotus Legacy in modern games, like me, I have re-made the Lotus Esprit on Hot Wheels Unleashed for PS4 and PS5 Players via Livery for the Audi Sport Quattro; it is the closest I could find I have also included ALL colour variants exclusive on certain Courses so you can pick from more than just Red and White

[@rajvindersingh3607]

Turpentine the real MVPs will know this

[@FlecheDeFer]

ah memories... 05:38 that was the best part of that.

[@aggomez594]

My favorite courses are Fog, forest, marsh and snow. Old times!

[@y_ffordd]

One of the best driving games on Amiga

[@pmon8597]

I didn't remember the way to Liverpool is that long. The game looks easy, but most people don't realize that these cars can go up to 182mph. From this perspective, the intersections at Liverpool looks pretty badly designed, and this game proves that sometimes it's safer to drive on the other lane.

i can hear on title screen 0:14 " gah you are not copying this game"

[@taranga70]

The Intro 🥰

[@BulentOnurSayn]

Adamlar 700 kb a harikalar yaratmış 🎉❤

[@YonOtto]

I'll always remember the password for the fog stage being Pea Soup... Asked my dad what it meant and he explained it 😂

[@alexpetrovich85]

Dave the 8-bit guy sent me here with his Amiga video.

[@LynchLuke]

If you need the car in every level to go faster then 135 mph if permanent turbo is provided use the password called slugpace which will give the car in every level a boost.

[@TrangleC]

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.

[@danyoutube7491]

I've tried playing via emulation in recent years and I struggle to get very far! I've obviously lost my skills over the intervening years :) Mind you using the keyboard isn't really as good as using an old fashioned joystick, so that probably impairs my performance a bit too.

[@thesilentred]

Isn’t that song after the final course the same as the one on the menu screens on Super Nintendo game Top Gear (Top Racer in Japan)?

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

Barry Leitch did music for both games, so expect there to be similarities 😉

[@gmangman123]

Classic best race game ever

[@beachlife2968]

This game is proof that the outrun conversion could have been way better on the Amiga.

[@aristos6329]

Beautiful game

[@daeel_rouge]

arcade feeling on home computer

[@iranclassic]

I bought A500 only because of that title screen music ! 😍😅💘

[@andrewpearson6705]

[@combcomclrlsr]

This at times reaches 30fps on an NTSC machine.

[@104d_3rr0r_vince]

Used to play this with friends, a lot!!! At the beginning I only had the demo, can't remember how I got it. Later the full version. We played even with null modem cable. Also the easter egg game was kinda cool.

[@spookylive2k]

still better than most triple aaa Games today

[@fRikimaru1974]

Milenials and Z have to know that although the graphics were this simple, they looked way better in an Amiga monitor. The way they look in a flat monitor now is a lot different, you can see the whole pixel and they look weird.

[@mark12358]

So true!

[@oskich]

I'm a millennial, we had Amigas 😎

[@colinthomson7518]

I wish outrun was like this.

[@Isomnophilia]

Jeez another game I beat in my childhood... the secret password was TURPENTINE. The motorway stage's password is LIVERPOOL lol, is that the M62?

[@ianmorga4018]

Turpentine. If you know you know.

[@davidmccormick4735]

I always insisted in typing other peoples' usernames when they to my house to play this - they got 'dick on', 'tit on', 'arse on' or something similar. The joke never got old when I allowed them to overtake and then drew their attention to the notification on my half of the screen.

[@AMR-bf8nx]

Commodore only had to hire these developers and start creating arcade conversions… That’s all. Pc’s would be history today.

[@danybackstone]

155 millions points and no high score screen? no way!!!

[@terry4345]

At the end of the Game, it uses the music from top gear hahaha

[@a2333232332]

Indeed, top gear uses from this

[@gregajk]

Was there no music during the gameplay, only in menus? Or the PC version had that too?

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

There's no music during racing in Lotus II on Amiga

[@StrawberrySunday212]

Typed in Turpentine and you got unlimited time i think it was

[@CeeKayz0rz]

If only the Gran Turismo franchise was this cool.....

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

It is, but only parts 1 and 3

[@kevincassidy1983]

Skip to 28.00 and enjoy your "Yee haw!"

[@KuraIthys]

it amuses me how the sound of hitting a snowdrift is basically just someone going something like 'boom'. XD Ah. must've been interesting, dealing with some of the earliest sound hardware capable of playing actual decent samples...

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

Standard sound effects in any 16-bit sound engineers repository: "BONK" and "CLOING" 😉

[@simonebernacchia5724]

It does 'HOOPF'

[@ulysses2162]

Whoa... nice driving. It seems that a slightly slower approach, and plenty of breaking is needed on pea soup. Also, I can never get the games in WinUAE fullscreen like you have it here. They are all in a small box in the centre of the screen for me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@turrican4d599]

The driving model ("physics) is completely diffeent from Lotus I, so you only have to be on the far left for a left turn with max speed.

[@jimyqqq]

They should remake this game in NintendoSwitch version

[@halomaniacp90]

Can I emulate the amiga on Android

[@kw3dor]

Pro tip: If u wanna watch it like on old CRT TV just change resolution to lowest one;)

[@thorham1346]

Not really.

[@Amos_Huclkeberry]

What is the frame rate? Very unplayable.
