After participating in the Retro Remakes competition in 2003 with our Road
Fighter remake (which finished 7th out of 83 entries), we decided to give the
2004 competition a shot as well. Apparently we like racing games a lot, so after
some voting we chose to remake the Konami MSX1 classic F-1 Spirit.
After 3 months of hard work and barely making both the deadline and file size
limit, our contribution to the competition was ready. When finally the judges
reviewed all games and passed their judgements, we ended at the 13th place out
of the in total 73 entries.
But... because we finished the remake in a hurry we're not fully satisfied with
the current state of the remake. That's why we are still working on it
(sometimes), adding more features like graphical effects, more and better music
and graphics, and maybe even network play in the future. So... no, the project
isn't entirely dead and finished yet! Nontheless the remake is fully playable
already.
