Inspired by OUT-RUN, can I make a racing car game using the BASIC language of the ZX Spectrum, well I've given it ago and named it, 'NIGHT RACER'. in the video I share some test game play, plus the MCODER 3 Compiled version, and I share my BASIC code. πŸ‘

There's a preview in the latest Crash of the #ZXSpectrum game we've been working at on & off for ages.

It's a sequel to Forward to the Past, called "BubbleBack" (not Bubblejack 🀦)

No release date yet as there's a few last minute hiccups. But will release as soon as we can, hopefully this month.
