    This game brings back memories. If I remember, this probably was the first ever game I played, as a 2 year old, in a real NES, or Excitebike. I never beat it even today at 26. Quite interesting that the same company who made Final Fantasy among others made this racing game. I think the KM/H speedometer really meant MPH, as the cartridge artwork says "mph", plus 255 km/h = 158.45 mph. The F1 racer makes it feel like Pole Position.

  • @skins4thewin
    @skins4thewin Před 3 lety +2

    The biggest bs thing in this game is instantly crashing if you run into a car directly from behind going too fast. It should just slow you down, what with the sheer amount of cars every freaking where all the time. Sometimes it's near impossible to avoid them.

    That last track is giving me fits right now. You really can't crash a single time & have any hope of winning, & the other cars are just a freaking nightmare! I always end up crashing at least once due to the other cars ramming into me or being in the way. This is not easy...

    • @jsthlrd
      @jsthlrd Před rokem +2

      If you haven’t beaten it, keep your speed up until you find a car going 172-180kph and tailgate him. This shields you from the game spawning super slow cars in front of you. After the 3rd checkpoint you’ll need to pass him and go full speed the remainder of the race.

    Fun game but a hard son of a gun
    Issue 1 the timer, it gives you just the right amount of time especially when you get in later stages (stage 5)
    Issue 2, the biggest obstacle here is the cars you bump into, why this is an issue is because in later stages there's no room for errors because when you crash your vehicle cant move till it centers itself eating up your time
    You deserve a medal if you beat all 8 courses
