Reviews for Hot Tyre (#25194)
Pretty good racing game for the speccy. Uses QAOP keys and features a selection of three player-drivable vehicles.
I generally find it difficult to give any 3D racing game a score higher than 4 on 8-bit system as I'm completely biased in favour of the far better 16-bit (and above) offerings which certainly do benefit from more powerful processors and superior graphics.
However, this one is pretty impressive given 8-bit limitations. It's in a similar vain to the Lotus turbo esprite games.
It's good because it's actually quite playable and reasonably difficult. It's the old situation where you bump into cars then you slow down whilst they drive off at high speed. They bump into you - you still slow down and they still drive off at high speed! This is what gives the game it's difficulty. Well that and some quite sharp bends and also bumps in the road.
The races do go on for quite a while though, but it's worth a play.

While it's a rather nice game it loses marks because much of the code is directly ripped from Titus' Crazy Cars. Naughty naughty.

Wow Raphie is so right! The gameplay here is identical to Crazy Cars but with worse sound! Even the other cars looks the same, hell I wouldn't be surprised if the route is the same! It's not a bad game really but it's just a hack job Harry Price would be proud of.

Theo Develegas pulls off a Harry Price and makes a game largely of code from Titus' Crazy Cars. The cars present in that game appear in this game as traffic cars. The backgrounds may be different and at least it has a proper A in it but it's largely the same game and thus I would give this game a 0 if I was allowed to.
