Auto Racing vs Lotus Turbo Challenge 2

Auto Racing puts you behind the wheel of one of five distinct cars, each with its own strengths, as you tackle five large courses. In single‑player mode you race against the clock to complete five laps as fast as possible. In two‑player split‑screen mode you can challenge a friend, earning points by causing crashes or by pulling far enough ahead to reach the screen edge. The game captures the fast‑paced, pick‑up‑and‑play feel of early arcade racers.

Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 shifts the Lotus series to pure arcade racing, replacing lap‑based tracks with course‑based time trials. Players race the Lotus Elan SE on odd levels and the Lotus Esprit SE on even levels, aiming to beat the clock and qualify for the next stage. The game uses the full screen for single‑player action and features split‑screen multiplayer for up to two racers. The title drops fuel limits and difficulty settings, focusing on fast‑paced racing with only engine sounds and no background music. Opponent cars appear in varied colors, adding visual variety to the retro graphics originally developed for the Amiga and later ported to other platforms.
