The third game in the series combined the gameplay aspects of its predecessors, allowing players to choose between racing opponents of Lotus Turbo Challenge or the arcade-like time trials of Lotus 2.

The third game in the series combined the gameplay aspects of its predecessors, allowing players to choose between racing opponents of Lotus Turbo Challenge or the arcade-like time trials of Lotus 2. The two-player option was retained and the music selection feature returns (Patrick Phelan's soundtrack to Lotus III spawned many modern remixes). Lotus III also added a third car - a concept Lotus M200 automobile - and allowed the player to choose which one to race with. The game recycled most of the graphics from Lotus 2, but added a number of new sceneries. Read less

A very ambitious final chapter, that blends the first two games in terms of modes and settings, while adding a lot of stuff and a track editor. In 1992! It’s also less punitive to get into, even though getting to the end is still quite hard, and it’s full of new stuff that make it fun and visually amazing: the lights in the mist, the windy road, the mountain track, the night rain with lightning bolts… Sadly, I still fucking hate the futuristick track: it’s completely out of place and it’s got no sense of speed. I understand why they would put it as a showcase right up when you start the game but I hate it and it’s one of the reasons why back then I was so disappointed. But I made peace with it and now I think it’s a very good game. Maybe it lacks the purity of the first two episodes but it’s so full of stuff that it’s basically undeniable.

this was an ms-dos based game and i was going to my mother's friend's home all the time to play this game. because her son had a computer which i didnt at that time. trying to find lotus' floppy disk to play this game when he was absent was priceless. good old times...
