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. 👍

Wider car, and a random traffic cone in the road to avoid, plus snow on the mountains, smaller moon, and I've sped it up a bit more too. BASIC 💪 #zxspectrum #thespectrum #sinclairbasic

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.
