Turbo Sprint - First port of the classic as time-limited beta version
'Turbo Sprint' (video) is supposed to become a faithful port of the Atari classic Super Sprint. Improved sound as well as support of the CD32 are announced. Now a first time-limited beta version has been released with the following features:

Occasionally the game will completely crash (this is due to the Tornado sprite).
Cars will not adhere to boundaries when spinning.
Chopper colours some times go Grey
Car is not respawned at the correct Y line
The controller setup code is not completed
If you exit the game from the menu, Workbench is likely to crash
In order to run on stock Amiga's you may need to disable external drives to get as much chip memory as possible.
Only levels 1 through 8 are active
