Genre: Racing
Platform: NES
I still play this one from time to time on my GCW Zero. This was a fun little racing game where you were racing an RC Truck. There were supposedly 32 tracks, but I certainly never made it through them all. As you raced your truck around the track, you could pick up new parts for upgrades, letters to spell out PRO AM and other boosts. There were also hazards on the track such as oil spills and water. The crew at these tracks were not very good at cleanup and cautions weren’t a thing. I know this is not unique in any way to racing games, but it was one of the first I played and thought it was a blast.
The AI (computer) was also notorious for cheating in this game. You could be almost a lap ahead and suddenly the second place car would come soaring up right behind you, often passing you. It was complete and utter BS, but that was a part of the game. The idea of the RC cars was also very appealing to me as a kid. The sound effects were good and hearing the music brings a smile to my face every time.
If you missed this one the first time around, I strongly recommend finding it and giving it a try!
