Game...

I don’t remember what it’s called... I had a Spectrum 4-5 years ago, so a lot
forgot... :(, but I’ll tell you what the point is... maybe someone has it lying around? I’d really
like to cut it down... :)

In short, there you drive a car around the city... you can look at a map of the city... the goal
is to catch drug and weapons dealers... blue and red cars... Dudes walk along the sidewalks... sometimes someone repairs the lighting poles... the streets there are of different widths - from one-way streets to a 6-lane highway... well,
in short, you rush like mad from one end of the city to the other to catch the bandits
... :) The graphics are black and white, only bandit cars of other colors...
At the beginning you can still choose which city - 1 out of 4!
It is possible that this game was simply called LOTUS (but I remember
some races that could be played in split-screen, and I can’t remember
which one is which)...

The game you are asking about is called TURBO ESPLIT.

The name has been clarified... all you have to do is get it... :)
2All: Help a crazy gamer... :)

TURBO ESPRIT by DURREL or LOTUS TURBO ESPRIT CHALLENGE by GREMLIN GRAPHICS ?
I just haven’t seen the letter from AA and don’t know the point. The first - around the city behind the bandits,
the second - a steering race with levels and with mandatory qualification for overtaking

No, LOTUS is a PC game :) . And on Spectrum - 'Turbo Esprit'.
In short, if you need it, I can blur it.

Bye.

Hi Yury!

05 Sep 97. I'm sitting here, thinking about the vanity of all things, and suddenly I see - Yury
Starkov is peacefully talking with Aivars Andersons about the Game...:

YS> No, LOTUS is a PC game :) . And on Spectrum - 'Turbo Esprit'.
You're wrong :) Lotus is on Sinclair. The full name is Lotus esprit turbo
challenge, it seems like a Gremlin.

P.S. Turbo esprit is also a global rulez, although it will be older.

With respect, sysop of Polizei_Station Sergey_Usatenko.

AA>> and red cars...
OB> This is Turbo Esprit (Durrel Soft 1986)
Maybe someone will throw it in, huh?

All the best, Evgeny. Wed Sep 10 1997 10:21.

SU> You're wrong :) There is a Lotus on Sinclair. The full name is Lotus esprit turbo
SU> challenge, it seems like a Gremlin.

Yes. Gremlinovsky. By the way, the only (IMHO) race that I completed and took first place. :) Without any cheats, although there are none.

With all kinds of regards and wishes.
Igor.

... It's hard to protest with your mouth full.

Whoa. Normally, the pillars should be on the side of the road. Mine goes and goes along the pillars, and
then the boar and that's it :(

IG> first. Although as for the game itself, it's a masterpiece. The first chase. The second - I liked it less. The graphics are not the same.
Yeah: (

IG> Iron Man;) In four of us;)) I remember playing with the guys a long time ago... Two on joysticks (Campston/Sinclair) and me on the buttons.
IG> :) They neighed like horses. Funny noise.
Exactly, I forgot such a thing :) Although it’s better to drive with four people in 3D Grand Pree :)
There were a lot of similar ones - all sorts of Badlands, etc., but they were somehow worse.

Supertrux - rules, I agree. And in Hard Driving, the car's control is terribly crooked, really "hard" :( Although the graphics are good. Also, Wec le mansI remember
Monaco Grand Prix (albeit a disgusting thing), Power Drifter, Super Stuntman,
Motocross Simulator, ATV, African Trail Simulator, Super hang on, Paris-Dakar
(Spanish).

Motocross is not a trial simulator? There was one, quite steering simulator,
I didn’t find any analogues. And the graphics are very high. And the sound acting is excellent.

SU> ATV, African Trail Simulator, Super hang on,

By the way, there were already four of these hangons, except for the tracks, they didn’t differ,
IMHO.

SU> Paris-Dakar. (Spanish).

Oh, yes. Beautiful noise. Especially the helicopter :) When you get lost. ;)

SU> terribly crooked, really “hard” :(

that’s the whole trick! You have to learn it like that! I remember it took a week to get used
to driving... but then...!!! Now, it’s a pity, now I don’t have this din.. 8((

And also Lotus.. I liked.. the one where you drive around the city - the steering wheel 4ever!

2 All: maybe someone will throw it in the echo? Otherwise we don’t have fekha 8((

Meet You In Hell !!!

Who would at least give this one... I have never seen such a cool driving like the Turbo Esprit, with
traffic lights, with pedestrians who don’t need to be crushed, with gas station and two-way
traffic on IBM. It's a pity.

Yes, I can do it in an echo - I see that many people need it. I’ll only get the next batch of letters,
if he hasn’t been abandoned yet, then I’ll try.
2all I’ll say the same about Sir Fred, Gremlins, Great Escape, Dynamite Dan 1,2. And
I won’t give any gifts.

I threw Super Scramble Simulator by GREMLIN into the fad. You can take a look. I really like the game itself. Not only do you have to press buttons, but you also have to think with your head.

Cool. Somehow I didn't see them. Throw it in the fehu?

This was one of my first races. :)

Oh, well? I couldn't. There, IMHO, the current race is only when you arrive first, since it's about overtaking cars :) there. There aren't many races like this :( there is something
like Hyper Rally with MSX, although it's called a little differently, and it
looks worse, and I'm not talking about the engine - they ruined the toy.
