Really interesting video. I used to have so much fun with this game, for some aspect I prefer it to GP1.

Amazing! I can't really tell if back in the 90's if I had either the EGA version or the VGA. Both look very much the same. I miss having this game it was spectacular and still captures the feel of Indy today.

Oh, and the version I used to have came with the question before you started in the game.

Thanks for the great Video!

This game is great. I played this on my 68060 where it runs really smooth even in full detail. Really hard to play, nice AI for other cars (crashes, cars break and drive around crashed cars...) really nice game, even today!

BTW: Amiga kicks PC VGA ass in sound and graphics ;)

[wellferreir]

this game really ROCKS!

The VGA and Amiga graphics are pretty much the same, but the Amiga's sound blows the DOS version out of the water. The engine in the DOS version sounds like an electric shaver! Of course the Amiga version was pretty choppy on a stock 7Mhz system.

Always took off detailed graphics as the picture didn't run smooth. The red car when tuned right monstered the other two. Also, the physics engine was way ahead of its time and I once controlled a skid in snow on the road due to skills learnt in this game... very pleasing.

I would say PC because having 2 # 20s would ruin the game for me and they are so similar if that glitch didnt exist I wouldnt care which one I had

I used to play this game a lot... 20 years ago! I could ony win a long race once in my life. It was not easy at all.

The game was great in general, but the sound was so astounding at the time, especially on the Amiga. One thing that I always loved was that they actually captured the sound of the lower pitched turbo V6 Buicks at the time.

I used to start the game indestructible. I would create walls with car carcasses and watch the AI try to avoid them, then I'd make a complete wall and watch all of them crash. One after the other. Awesome game, out-of-that-world physics! Thanks for the memories.

[paulieeee]

Great stuff man. That took a lot of work and i loved it. Thanks

[poopskinTheLiar]

Rob hubbard did the sound, that explains why it sounds so good!

I remember driving the wrong way just to cause havoc!!

How u can play it with sho smooth framerate? I have 2.6 Ghz cpu and it is still too low framerate to play it...

[Nocito87]

If you play indy with dosbox you could try to speed up your CPU setting for dosbox by pressing STRG + F12

[aure232]

I mean on winuae emulator...

[Nocito87]

okay on winuae... i used kickstart ROM v 1.3, CPU 68040 with FPU & JIT selected, OCS Chipset and A500 Extra Chipset. My Memory Settings are Chip - 2MB, Slow - 1 MB, Fast 8 MB.

And i deselected "vertical sync" on the display settings. I hope this will help you anyway.

I never had an Amiga but this are the settings on my emulator and the game runs fine.
