Put yourself behind the wheel of a super turbo-powered Lotus Turbo Esprit with the ST conversion of Gremlin's Hit!-rated road racer. The gameplay's pretty straightforward. There are three levels of championship frolics on offer, each with a different number of tracks and hazards. Your objective is to win each race (or failing that remain in the top ten to qualify for the next race).

Lotus's greatest asset was undoubtedly the split-screen Pit Stop II-style gameplay, and this remains intact on this ST conversion. Unfortunately, the graphics seem to have been trimmed down quite a bit, especially in the trackside hazard and road detail departments, and the sound effects and music can only be described as adequate.

Lotus still contains the dynamic addictive nature of the Amiga game and still crosses the line as an unbeatable road racer which more than deserves a place in your software collection.

One of the greatest ST road racers available, unbeatable in two player mode.
