Amiga 500 SHOCKER! Zippy Race’s IMPOSSIBLE Port by MVG!
Did you ever think a classic arcade racer could defy time, and even *expectations*, by getting a port to a legendary retro system by an unexpected developer? Well, prepare for a shock because the mastermind Modern Vintage Gamer, known for his incredible technical deep dives, is currently porting the iconic top-down racer "Zippy Race," also known as MotoRace USA, to the Amiga 500! This isn't just any port; MVG is tackling the monumental challenge of making it run on a standard Commodore Amiga A500 with its Original Chip Set and just 512k of RAM. He's even shared an in-depth video, walking fans through the intricate process of coding from scratch and overcoming various development hurdles. Furthermore, a new update has already dropped, showcasing exciting progress with BOB clipping, enhanced pathfinding, and even new music for the Amiga version, thanks to a heads-up from Amiga Bill himself. This epic project, which sees players virtually racing from Los Angeles to New York City, is slated for a free and open-source release around 2026, with a possible limited physical print run.
