Commodore 64 -=Party Speedway Extended=- WIP
32Saberman&IndieRetroNews.com present: Party Speedway Extended
Changes from version 1.0 released back in 2022 as https://ka-plus.pl/en/party-speedway/ and https://csdb.dk/release/?id=220259:
- 4 more maps added. In addition to Gliwice, Poland, the following have been added: Brighton, UK; Seattle, US; Dublin, IE; Drammen, NO,
- Each map differs in shape, driving difficulty, driving speed and turning angle.
- New computer opponents in 4 quality levels: VIC, C64, C128, Amiga where each one is different in its ability to drive a track.
- Relatively high randomness of the AI players: in most cases the Amiga will drive faster and crash less than e.g. the C64, but in individual cases the opposite may be true and e.g. the C64 may get a faster start and finish faster than the Amiga.
- New gameplay modes: on top of a single ride, 4- and 8-rounds games, there is now a Time Trial (all 5 maps for one player / 4 laps) and Tournament (all 5 maps, 4 races on each map for 4 players. Any number of laps.)
- Time trial will save the results to floppy and load them when the game is restarted.
- Added runtime sprite shape modification feature - the sprites have been given "tails" like in the game Tron. This improves the visibility of the sprites.
- Support for all 4 players from the keyboard (there is still the option to use a 4 joystick expander)
- A few other additions, e.g. the sprites have their markings at the start (so you know who is who), a pixelated image by Katon in the middle before and after races, etc.
Release:
Planned release of the game: April 2024.
The digital version of the game will come free of charge as a cover disc for the 25th issue of Komoda & Amiga+ magazine.
