A new direct conversion, like so many others, and once again the game chosen is a recreational license (the usual in the last years of the 8 bits, along with those of movies).

I never saw anything special to the Spectrum version, which is what I was able to know at the time; It was a racing game, dull and boring, and the same goes for his MSX twin (who does not lose excessive speed but the music does - or at least I could not hear it, because Mc Alby is accredited).

However, the 1988 SEGA recreative is another song. It has spectacular graphics and sound, and it sure was a joy to play a game with the wheel and the car in which you sat moving according to the course of the circuit.

But of course, converting it to 8 bits was really complicated, and more when all the resources were not used to try it.

Yo lo he visto super soso, y de cuando lo jugaba en Spectrum tampoco tengo gran recuerdo... Eran cargas superlargas que no compensaban para lo que veías después. Quizá en CPC, al ser más atr…
