Today I had arrive a classic Amiga game I was trying to score for ages. And not just any old game, but one that's definitely in my Top 10 of best Amiga games of all time (and probably not just my Top 10): Lotus Turbo Challenge 2!!
From the very first hihat sounds of the intro until the congratulatory screen of the outro and (obviously) everything in between this has got to be one of the finest gaming experiences that the Amiga had to offer. I've spent hours and hours playing this game through countless times during the summer of 1992 and many times after that. The great thing is that Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 has stood the test of time really well. It still plays like a charm and looks great!
Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 is easily the best of the trilogy released by Gremlin in the early 90's. I already had parts 1 and 3 in my collection for a long time and just couldn't get my hands on part 2. Either the bids got really high, I'd just missed the auction or the manual or box was missing. You can imagine my surprise when I won this fine, boxed copy of the game for the opening bid of 99p! Just goes to show what great deals can be had sometimes when shopping around for retro goodies. Good times!
