Super Skidmarks Returns: Classic Amiga Racer Pre-Loaded on A600GS Mini Console

Super Skidmarks Brings Classic Amiga Racing to the A600GS Mini Console The Amiga community continues to celebrate its rich gaming heritage with the return of a beloved classic: Super Skidmarks.

Developed by Chris Blackbourn, this iconic Amiga racing game is set to be pre-installed on the new A600GS, a mini console and 68K-compatible computer powered by AmiBench and distributed by AmigaKit Ltd.

This partnership ensures that both long-time fans and newcomers will have easy access to one of the platform's most memorable multiplayer experiences right out of the box. Originally launched in 1993 as Skidmarks and followed by Super Skidmarks in 1995, the franchise quickly gained recognition for its ambitious visuals and focus on multiplayer competition.

Pushing the limits of Amiga hardware, Super Skidmarks garnered a devoted player base and was also ported to systems including the Amiga CD32 and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

The game's enduring appeal can be credited to its engaging design and the sense of community it fostered among retro gaming enthusiasts. Matthew Leaman, Managing Director of AmigaKit Ltd—the team behind the A600GS—shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration: "We are thankful to Chris Blackbourn for granting us permission to include his cherished racing title with the A600GS.

We're confident our users will appreciate the chance to revisit this classic." Leaman also expressed anticipation for Blackbourn's forthcoming project, Epic Skidmarks, which revives the series for online multiplayer play. Chris Blackbourn himself expressed appreciation for the ongoing enthusiasm from the Amiga community, noting, "It's inspiring to witness how fans continue to connect over these retro games and introduce them to new generations.

The support from AmigaKit Ltd plays a vital role in keeping this classic experience alive." The Super Skidmarks game comes pre-installed on new A600GS systems, which are already shipping to customers.

In addition, current A600GS owners will have the opportunity to download a free update, allowing them to enjoy the game at no additional cost.

This move not only rewards the existing user base but also strengthens the community around classic Amiga titles. As the revival of Skidmarks continues with the development of Epic Skidmarks, the collaboration between Chris Blackbourn and AmigaKit Ltd highlights the enduring value of retro gaming on modern hardware.

The A600GS ushers in a new era for Amiga enthusiasts, ensuring that cherished titles like Super Skidmarks remain accessible—and competitive—for generations to come.
