Title: Saloon Cars Deluxe (£35)
Make sure you get the later "deluxe" version. Looks superb, but is very hard to play! "Bouncing" screen is horrible, however, and not even logical. Lots of attention to detail, including windmirrors which crack on impact. Takes advantage of ARM 3 over ARM 2 and 2MB over 1MB. Separate Risc PC version which doesn't require Game On!
