Released in 1988 in the arcades and 1989 for the Commodore Amiga, this is a game that has received much grief online. I too thought it was terrible through my naive exposure of it, but like other games I've seen online, turns out it was mostly because of emulators being set to PAL mode. Here you see the game as it was designed, in NTSC, running faster and in the correct 4:3 aspect ratio. It's still not perfect, but it's playable, and mostly enjoyable from my end. Check those settings people, not every game was made in Europe... Make sure they're set correctly before you bash a game and claim it as a lazy ST port... This is not an ST port...

This game was requested by none other than Polaventris! YEAH! Please check out his look at the Commodore 64 version of Power Drift. I will be throwing a request his way as well, I am requesting Who Framed Roger Rabbit on the Commodore 64.
