120208_retroracing.jpgJamie Woodhouse, developer of the '90s Amiga racers Nitro and ATR, is preparing to launch a new racing title for iOS platforms later this month.

Retro Racing is an overhead-view title in which players outrace their rivals throughout numerous twisty tracks.

The presentation brings to mind Atari's arcade racer Super Sprint and Codemasters' Micro Machines series, as you can see in the pre-launch trailer. It seems as though getting the best times will involve going off-track and discovering shortcuts -- looks fun!

Retro Racing will premiere in the App Store in mid-to-late February for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
