Turbo Speedway is a Czech racing video game developed by World Spy Software and published by Space Interactive in 1995 for the CZK 300. [1] [a] Turbo Speedway is an unofficial remake of the 1983 top-down game Rally Speedway and was sold for the CZK 300. [2] It was the first Czech racing game, [3] and one of two games published by Space Interactive in 1996, along with Oil Empire by 88 Panzer Division. [4] The game made a marginal profit. [5]

The Hrej! newspaper wrote that Turbo Speedway was "one of the most daring [games] that has ever hit stores from Czech production". [5] Score 's Petr Slunéčko wrote the game was "characterized by its ugliness and lifelessness" and offered a scathing rating of 1/10. [6]

iDNES commented that the game's only value from a modern perspective is that it illustrates the "spartan conditions in which the development of games took place in our country at that time". [6]

Notes

  1. A 1994 German racing game has the same name and inspiration.
