This is a homebrew  game, run on Gameboy Color. Original version: Simon Leck - Atlantis Software Ltd. Commodore 16/Plus4, 1985. Created with GB-Studio 2.0.0 beta5!

Also available for download in .CIA format for the Nintendo 3DS virtual console!

You have 80 seconds in Level 1 to overtake 30 cars. Drive at speed of up to 300 mph, trying to avoid the other cars as they swerve across your path. If you manage to overtake 30 cars without losing 3 lives, next level is coming up +10 seconds bonus time. The game features many different screens, day and night driving and a high score record. But the calculation is tricky, because not every car counts and not every car gets points in the final settlement.

hey, i love your games. i am quite new to gb studio and have been looking to make a driving game. i was wondering would you be able to share the files so i can try teach myself how youve made this? thanks.

I am very happy to help, but the matter is a bit complicated, because I named everything in Hungarian during the preparation and the explanatory texts are also in Hungarian, because it is only info for me. :) That's why it would be difficult to learn from this. But what I can do is write an email to info@wls.hu and I'll send you material from it, and maybe I'll try to rename it so it's understandable. And it made with GB Studio 2.0 !!

Lovely game - thank you for this.  This is my tribute to your great piece of work.

You are brilliant! Thank you very much. This game was really an incredibly simple yet challenging rewrite with GB Studio. It's great that you spent so much time on it and made it to level 3. By the way, every level is different, there is also night driving. 🙂 And the best thing is that the music is the official music of Formula 1, even if it is not very recognizable. :)

I'm so impressed with your skills and the quality of your work. I've only recently discovered these homebrought conversions of yours (thanks for the follow, btw) and I'm now officially a fan! Keep up the great work and I look forward to playing all your games.

You are very kind with your message, especially since quality work, as a word, is extremely characteristic of the things you make. You have to work on them in such a way that in 20 years, when you look back, you will still be happy that you did such work, and you will be able to say this about yourself. Thank you very much.
