Amigaworld.net News   Amigaworld.net News : Super Skidmarks Installed on the A600GS

SUPER SKIDMARKS RACING GAME BUNDLED ON THE A600GS
Cardiff, 13 August 2024

Amiga Indie Games developer, Chris Blackbourn has given approval for his
classic Amiga game, Super Skidmarks to be pre-installed on the new A600GS.


Super Skidmarks is now installed ready to play on the A600GS. Existing A600GS users can download a free update directly from Amisphere.com to install the games to the games menu.

Skidmarks was a multiplayer top down racing game created by New Zealand programmer, Chris Blackbourn. It was released for the Amiga in 1993 to much acclaim from users and magazines. The game featured 3D cars that could race around a selections of track. The graphics pushed the Amiga's capabilities at that time. The gameplay was enjoyable especially when playing in multiplayer mode with up to four friends. Super Skidmarks followed as an update in 1995 with more tracks and vehicle types. Players could add caravans hitched to their cars or even race cows on wheels!

Chris is reviving the Skidmarks game by developing a new internet multiplayer version named Epic Skidmarks. Matthew Leaman, MD of AmigaKit Ltd commented on the collaboration: “We are grateful to Chris that he has given his approval to include his much loved racing game with the A600GS. I know many of our users will be so pleased to relive this classic racing game. Chris new project, Epic Skidmarks looks great!"

Chris Blackbourn remarked: "It's fantastic to see the Amiga community enjoying these classic games, and sharing them with a new generation of gamers. Thanks AmigaKit Ltd for supporting the community!"

The A600GS computer system is available now from AmigaKit.com and AmigaKit.fr

We've enjoyed it a lot in the recent years too! It's really fun in null-modem linkup with two video projectors rendering their own half of the track :)

Can you do serial linkup with two A600GS:s for 8 players multiplayer fun?

It turns out AmigaKit shipped a while back and it just got to my house this week while I've been stuck in the lab. I can't wait to get home on Friday to play around with my new A600GS. Thanks AmigaKit!!

Amigakit tell me there is a serial port header on the Rabbit Hole board! They may add a socket if there's enough interest! I would buy a Deluxe model with this option! Whether the software would allowed serial link, I don't know! Worth a try IMHO!

This is a really nice add on :)

But ..." Chris is reviving the Skidmarks game by developing a new internet multiplayer version named Epic Skidmarks"

Will this version be sold also for AGA Amigas etc? It would be nice to have Amiga Internet multiplayer. Really love the race on Voxel style tracks :D
