Project SC2 (Racing) by iKi  I've always liked the top-down racing games ever since I got my hands on Super Sprint and then left it for the likes of Ironman Off-Road Racing and the Supercars games. It seems the style of game hasn't been touched much since the 16bit days and it's a bit of a shame when you see how well Project SC2 pulls it off with very silky smooth scrolling and seemingly hi-res car sprites. Set in a Formula 1 theme the two tracks included are simple yet fully featured and fit into several screens that scroll perfectly. The difference about this game is that there is no collisions with the other cars, which would appear at first to be a bug, but as formula 1 is about speed and lap times, it's a nice feature that you don't need to avoid lots of cars and you will be focusing on cornering and getting to the finish line first! Unfortunatly this game is by no means finished, the last beta release added a funky menu interface and spash screen and some other aesthetics but all you can do is play on 2 courses with no championship mode against 7 other cars. When the first beta of this was released I seem to remember folks on the GP32x boards welcoming it and already comparing lap/race times, with this audience in mind, it would be great to see it complete and I'm sure it would appeal to many people. iKi, if you're reading this, please finish Project SC2 Download Project SC2 from GP32x.de
