Amiga Longplay [228] Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge

Played By: RickyC

I liked the first two games more than this. Something about this game that just wasnt as great :O

I played the first 6 races with the music tracks on but then just left them off for the sound effects to be on. The music i love and i wish you could of had both playing at the same time D: Dont like how impossible the windy level was!

wow this game is just awesome, but i've downloaded from multiple different sites but the just keeps crashing at the same race everytime. on the map with the Turbo Zone it crashes after about 1min... anyone got a game that works? i tried to dl for the DOSBox but God i get so angry when they upload Lotus 1 under the name of Lotus 3.

Try the amiga version with WinUAE :)

[megrifter]

ye i have been using that one mostly but it keeps crashing randomly (when it crashes on Turbo Zone i'm playing easy championship and it crashes exactly the same every time) because i tried playing hard and medium and luckily i can play some more but it crashes there too.. speaking of the Amiga, which settings do you use to have it run as fast as possible but also as compatible as possible?

[cubex55]

It might be becasue of the config you use, but thats too complicated to discuss here on YT - go to our IRC chat for help :)

[megrifter]

I listen to Lotus III music and other amiga game in my car and it feels awesome!!!!

Resources at that time where very limited and this was actually a graphically advanced game when it came out.

Had so much fun with this game back in the day. Played the dos version tho.

@TheChristChris You could have four players on this! At Christmas I used to take my amiga to my friends and an extra tv. He had one too. Then link the computers together, and you have four player chaos. Online gaming wasnt around back then lol

These games 2 player was awesome. great split screen racer! I've given the games in this series plenty of hours racing against my friends back in the 90's! Good times.

Best. Soundtrack. Ever.

Great driving, especially in the hills...one of the hardest tracks...you just lost too much time in the pits there, but you still won, so it doesn't really matter ;-)

so much better than watching F1 on TV :)

I loved playing with my friend in split-screen two-player mode! Nowadays you would have to bring your laptop or play over the internet. But nothing beats sitting next to each other with 2 joysticks, eating peanuts and racing against each other! :-D

I just played Lotus 1, 2 and 3 and I think this is the best version. The music might be a bit better in Lotus 2, so is the frame rate. The improved graphics and AI makes it slower but I think the much more improved setup options and levels makes up to it. Only level I don't like is the futuristic with lasers guns and turbo zone, feels weird.
