Retro racing fans have something fresh to look forward to. Hyper Runner, a high-speed arcade racer being developed for the Commodore Amiga with AGA graphics, is shaping up to be a slick tribute to futuristic driving games from the ’90s. Think Wipeout, Lotus Challenge, and Outrun, but rebuilt for a machine that predates most smartphones by decades.
In this latest video preview, the developers at Raster Wizards roll out Route 4D: Outpost 76, a track set deep inside the newly unearthed Alien Arch. The speed? Relentless. The design? Tight. The atmosphere? Dense, with plenty of sharp turns and clean visuals that push the Amiga’s AGA chipset impressively far.
The Raster Wizards team keeps things grounded. They aren’t chasing fame or polishing up for modern consoles. They just enjoy building games for older hardware—purely because they want to. Their love for classic systems like the Amiga, NES, and Neo Geo comes through in every pixel and sound byte. That dedication shows in Hyper Runner, where the attention to presentation and performance walks a fine line between nostalgia and new ideas.
Whether you’re into custom hardware, demo scene flair, or you just miss the old-school approach to game design, this one is worth a closer look. The video shows a work-in-progress, but the game is already speeding in the right direction.
Watch the preview to see Route 4D in motion—and catch a glimpse of what’s next for Amiga racing games.
