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.
