Lotus Turbo Challenge STE

 ·  Atari ST, Videogames

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge originally shipped for the standard Atari ST, leaving the enhanced STE’s extra hardware untouched. This fan-made version, by Jonathan Thomas and Jamie Hamshere, rebuilds it to actually use the STE’s BLiTTER and DMA sound hardware — more road detail, single-pixel scrolling, an enhanced palette, and sampled engine sound — closely matching the Amiga release it was always compared against. It’s a genuinely impressive piece of work for a 31-year-old game.
