Best TG16/PCE Racer?

[VestCunt]

The pillars that cross the road horizontally above the car reach the sprite limit and flicker quite badly when they fill the screen. 

Man, you should see the SMS version.

I have that too.  I wasn't knocking the PCE version, I was just surprised at such an obvious graphical glitch that I didn't see previously in emulation.

I really like the motoroader series and rally championship.

Victory Run is badass.

sheath, no one was kind enough to warn you about MotoRoader 2: It's mediocre, IMHO. Believe mme, I wanted to like it. I still want to like it.

Why, you ask?

Because I LOVE MotoRoader 1, that's why!

 
MotoRoader MC is OK, but it is closer to Super Sprint than MotoRoader. But Super Sprint is the superior game.


I suppose I should warn you about the Legend of Dekoboko. I haven't played it with 2+ people yet, though, so maybe it can rise above mediocrity.

Yeah, I am not a fan of overhead racing games at all.  The line scroll racers on the PCE/TG16 are very good and right up my alley though.

I was given Outrun and Knight Rider Special today!  These are both great, though Knight Rider is a bit strange in gameplay.  Letting go of the gas and pressing it down again is the only way to go faster and hitting 200KPH causes the car to fly for a very long time.  I also can't figure out whether I am supposed to destroy cars or avoid them.

All the same, yeah Christmas!

I played Knight Rider for the first time recently and was like WHY DOES THE CAR KEEP FLYING. THIS IS STUPID.

I wish Rad Racer was on PCE.  and Road Blasters.

those were fun.

The reviews I read says that Knight Rider can be controllable, it is just unorthodox.  I love figuring out quirky games if it pays off and makes the game unique and playable.

Your car takes flight if you hold the gas in.  It is the opposite of every other into-screen driver. 

That's most of the problem.  It doesn't make any sense the way it plays.

Wrong.  You make the car jump by pressing button I while you're going over 200 km/h.  When you're driving under 200 km/h, button I is a turbo boost.  All you have to do to accelerate is press Up on the D-pad.

[Arkhan Asylum]

oh.  I never pressed up at all, I just held I down!

Interesting.  Now I need to go retry it with that information.  I only played it for about 10 minutes.  5 of it was probably spent listening to the title music.

I rarely play any of these driving games for much longer (since I don't like them too much).

Hah, that will do it.  Okay, now I know how to play, I was planning on reading the manual before trying it again.  ;)

Manual would help. 

This makes me wish they'd made a Speed Racer game for PCE.

Knight Rider is obviously a non-normal driving game with this jumping nonsense.

I tried it again.  Now I can actually play it and not rocket into space every 12 seconds.
