MegaRace 2 is a racing/fighting game (vehicular combat) developed by Cryo Interactive in 1996, released on August 31 of that year for the PC. It was published by Mindscape and is the first sequel of the original MegaRace, which was later followed by MegaRace 3.
This game also features host, Lance Boyle, played by Christian Erickson; this time joined by his beautiful but ditzy female assistant, Lucinda (a.k.a. Lorraine, Melissa, Linda, Connie, Mindy, Candy, Cindy, Saundra, Suzanne, Charlene, and a whole slew of other names), played by Alice Evans. In this installment of the futuristic racing series, you are once again the "enforcer" and you are once again attempting to win a series of races against computer opponents, by finishing in first place, or destroying their cars, automatically disqualifying them.
Additions to this game are vast, especially concerning ways to destroy your opponents' vehicles, and ways they will destroy yours. Race tracks are more detailed and often more challenging. The cars are now also rendered in 3D.
Microïds, owners of the Cryo brand, made the game available on GOG.com on April 30, 2009 alongside the first MegaRace. It also received a version for OS X on June 18, 2013 via GOG.com.
Reboot
On April 15, 2014 it was announced conversions of the entire MegaRace Trilogy were being made for mobile and tablet devices along with a reboot of the franchise on PCs, game consoles, mobile, and tablet devices by ZOOM Platform and Jordan Freeman Group. Industry veteran, Bernie Stolar, is the Chairman of ZOOM and Jordan Freeman Group and was quoted in the press release. [1]
On June 18, 2014 a teaser video featuring Christian Erickson as "Lance Boyle" appeared on YouTube. Christian Erickson has also appeared in all previous MegaRace titles as "Lance Boyle". [2] [3]
