Game Information

Original Release Date: December 31, 1992

Platforms: Amiga, Atari ST/STE, DOS

Involved Companies: Magnetic Fields, Gremlin Graphics

Genres: Racing

Summary: The third game in the series combined the gameplay aspects of its predecessors, allowing players to choose between racing opponents of Lotus Turbo Challenge or the arcade-like time trials of Lotus 2. The two-player option was retained and the music selection feature returns (Patrick Phelan's soundtrack to Lotus III spawned many modern remixes). Lotus III also added a third car - a concept Lotus M200 automobile - and allowed the player to choose which one to race with. The game recycled most of the graphics from Lotus 2, but added a number of new sceneries.
