LOTUS TURBO CHALLENGE (SEGA GENESIS SG)

This sequel to Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge is again a racing game behind the car. The race takes place on eight separate circuits, with new surface and weather effects such as desert and snow. Later in the game, you have to navigate two-way highways with oncoming traffic (incorporating civilian cars and trucks) and deal with more difficult levels aided by speed and time boosts.

You no longer race directly against other cars or on laps; instead, racing is time-based as you have a limited time to reach each checkpoint. Reaching each one extends your time, and any remaining time is turned into bonus points if you successfully complete the track.

You have at your disposal two cars that the game chooses automatically for each level. The original Lotus Esprit is joined by a Lotus Elan convertible, which is slower but has better grip, hence the loss of the word "Esprit" from the title.

You can play all tracks in full-screen mode or (with another player) in split-screen mode. On Amiga and ST the game allows you to link two machines, each of which can have two human players. If a player successfully completes one of the 8 courses, all players can move on to the next one.
