This feature is excellent. Not only can you race up to eight human opponents at the same time, you also get to see everyone's overall position in the race at a glance. Bloody brilliant.
What's more, it's refreshing to go up against opponents of comparable abilities. Truly tremendous road jousts take place. Drivers of similar skill and quality end up constantly jockeying with each other for position, overtaking and undertaking, jostling and jabbing away as they attempt to drive to the perfect line and the glory of victory.
These two pics are supposed to simulate an A500 screen with four cars only, but we've cheated and used an A1200 here. But , hopefully, you'll indulge us as we let you know...
...that four human players in this resolution is the maximum amount of people you can have racing against each other. It's top racing fun and we thoroughly recommend it.
Whereas, with AGA Amigas, the screen can be split for a maximum of three players to each machine. This can be combined in any order you like, so that one person could...
...be on one machine and two on another. It's up to you. And if you want to link an A500/A600 to an A1200 it can be done. The 1200 will still display a hi-res screen. Tip top.
Finally, the piece de resistance of two 1200s being linked together is the Super View mode. Place both displays adjacent to each other and the whole track can be...
...viewed at once in a complete overview of the course. It feels a bit odd having to glance at another screen when your car crosses over, but you soon get used to it.
On to tactics...
