Grand Prix was the best one I played.
There were a few good car games on the Amiga really. Badlands, Ivan Ironman Stewart off road, Lotus. Many of the driving games suffered with really bad FPS. Some of them must have been about 5fps. I remember there was a motorbike game called 'No 2nd prize' which ran quite well.
EDIT: oh and Nitro!! I loved that

Yeh, I loved Lotus Turbo Challenge. Pure two player fun on the Amiga.
Something I really find disappointing is the lack of multi-player titles on the pc that get people around the same 'box'.
Once you learned how to set up your car, Indy 500 was compulsive. Honestly, it was SO good, even with that crappy oval track.
Super Offroad was pretty good

I couldn't get the XNA version to run
Win 7, tried various compatability modes, it just says Knockout has stopped working.
Ah yeah, I have had this - did you do the web install of directX 9.0c? (it still requires this even if you have vista/win7)
Also you may need the .NET framework if it hasn't been installed for other programs: [download link]
That was a great game.
Kick Off 2 was my fav Amiga game. Still is one of my favourite games.

Take a look. I'm begining to think OCUK needs its own Amiga thread.
good game indianapolis,i spent hours on that messing with the crashes and camera views,surely a first,it was king of the speed ring until Geoff Crammonds Formula 1 GP toppled it,also stunt car racer was great also by Geoff Crammond(any one remember the REVS or The Sentinel),another great game for a blast was lotus turbo esprit challenge from gremiln(same makers as super cars)there was so much more originality around back in the 16 bit days compared to now,although the technology is better know,the originality of ideas isnot most of the time,some of these games would be awesome if they were remade with the latest technology(look at what they did with Metal Gear Solid,originally an 8bit MSX computer game from the mid 1980s)i think that is why people remember games from years back as the ideas were fresh and very new,some of the games were groundbreaking for there time and developers didnt care about taking risks as the games industry was still in its infancy

it was on the amiga,came out late after the megadrive version,however the megadrive version felt a lot better to play
that was a great game super off road but it was originally made on the Coin-op(arcade) backin the days when arcades where alive and kicking and also were the breeding ground for the latest technology..if you wanted to play the best that games had to offer you had to go to the arcade,however the arcades nowadays are dead and empty and have no atmosphere like they used to have in the Golden age.Shame as the birth of more powerfull machines in the home killed of the arcades and ended the era where it all started
No save games,no difficulty levels,just pure hardcore skills were needed to get the biggest scores and beat the game,i do think/ know that the big 3D games today are a lot easier to complete than the games that dominated the arcade arena..Shinobi anyone?
Long Live M.A.M.E
