Amiga speedrun

It is assumed to have exact same speedrun category for Amiga and MSDOS version of Lotus III. Because track codes are the same and game looks mostly the same.

Until today (8th August 2023) only MSDOS and Genesis speedruns are exist and they are on seperate categories.

Since noone have speedrun Lotus III in Amiga until today, it is not possible to say that they both (Amiga and MSDOS) will share the same speedrun category.

This only can be clear out after someone speedruns the game in Amiga and submits.

Thank you for this post! I completely agree with you.

I added a "Platform" subcategory variable that should fix those issues. If ever Amiga and MS-DOS are the exact same, we could merge those 2 into 1.

Great. Now let's see if anyone speedruns the game on Amiga

I made first Amiga speedrun and submitted. MSDOS version and Amiga version seems same/similar in some track details, but they are totally different on speedrunning perspective. So, it was a good idea to seperate them.

By the way, for Amiga Championship runs we need to use IGT (Sum of each race IGT) same as Lotus III MSDOS version. For Amiga Arcade/Timed runs, we need to use RTA (Real Time), same as Lotus III Genesis version, since Livesplit&Autosplitter doesn't exist for Amiga.
