If you’ve been following Richard Langford of Langford Productions, you would’ve known that throughout our time writing on IndieRetroNews he has released a number of remakes of some well known classics that many have grow up with, games such as PSSST, Cookie, and even The Hunch. But that isn’t all that has come out of Langford, as after previously releasing the retro inspired hit of REX, he has now made not one, but two PC remakes of some great speccy classics. Games such as Automania, and Turmoil.
And here’s the latest. “Automania was one of the first Spectrum remakes I created for PC, and much like “The Hunch”, it originally used a rather questionable graphic style I’m no longer happy with. So I rebuilt the whole thing from scratch. The new version adds full controller support, lets you switch between full‑colour and classic Spectrum palettes, and includes optional CRT‑style scanlines. Decorative borders — also optional — can fill the widescreen area, and you can now play in either full‑screen or windowed mode. As with my original remake, there’s also an added bonus level tucked in at the end.”
“Sheikh Abdul Al Kohol, the mad ruler of El Khazi, keeps a fleet of outrageously fancy motor cars parked proudly around his palace. Mick the Mechanic — the King’s imported scouse grease‑monkey — has finally had enough of it all. Being paid in sheep’s eyeballs (proper grim) was never part of his career plan, so he has decided to help himself to the Sheikh’s beloved cars and leg it before anyone notices.”
Extra features in this game:
- Switch between full colour and original Spectrum graphics
- Restart the game from any level you have reached so far
