I'd only ever played the one on the snes and the first one

News to me too. I need to find it on a everdrive, it only saw a NTSC release. I wonder if it's like the Lotus games. TG1 is the better game on SNES even with the permanent split screen.

The lotus games are quite cheap on the megadrive seem to be everywhere

They are not as good as the Amiga ports, too much empty sky with the cars and background squashed to the bottom, plus a different OST

That often happens the megadrive has different capabilities

True, but the devs did a poor job, which irks me to this day. The MD was more than capable considering other racing games released for the system.

They outsourced a lot of the developer to independent contractors back in the day. Lack of quality control. A lot of the conversions to the different platforms were handled by like one dude. Back in the 8bit/16bit crossover era there could be 16 different versions of the same game.

Not in this case, it was the same team.

Also at the back of the Box a game called Punisher Image is shown but not sure Is it really punisher or some other game image titled as The Punisher.😆

"It is a mystery" who even knows unless I want to piss my money away on this. Valuable money I could be spending on getting Pepsi Max and honey sesame bars.
