Ain’t got no rocket in my pocket

What do you get when you throw two arcade classics like Super Sprint and Badlands together and put it in the hands of Developer Magnetic Fields (which had already built up a strong reputation with Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge at that time)? Right, an awesome overhead racing game titled Super Cars II, packed with scrolling tracks and weapons to blast the competition to the moon and back.

Super Cars II is the logic sequel to the very first Super Cars, released only a year earlier. Things have improved much since that first installment. The sequel didn’t only get new tracks and polished graphics, but also a very enjoyable and much needed two player head to head split-screen mode. Fire those rockets and burn some rubber!
