Power Drift
A TRULY IMPOSSIBLE PORT
» COMMODORE 64 » 1990 » CHRIS BUTLER When I was working at Gateway I got friendly with a guy called Luke and I’d often visit his house after work to play on his Commodore 64. He’d been telling me that Power Drift on the C64 was “amazing” and “easily the best racer I’ve ever played”, which left me rather skeptical. After all, I had a Master System at this point and the C64 felt a little old hat. Plus, Power Drift was an astonishing-looking game featuring state-of-the-art visuals and ambitious roller-coaster-styled tracks that were as over the top as the racers you could play as. I couldn’t see the 8-bit machine capturing that.
