The controls for the game are as simple as can get for a racing game on the NES – the A button accelerates and the B button brakes. Turbo Racing (or Al Unser Jr Turbo Racing for those in the US) was an adaptation of a 1989 Famicom Game entitled “World Grand Prix – Pole To Finish” but aspects of Mr Unser removed as to be honest no one aside from the most ardent racing fans outside the US of him. When playing you may notice you can only reach a certain top speed however in conjunction with holding one button, if you pressed the other it maximises your top speed to double what you were originally doing – it begs the question why the top speed could not just be set using one button press, when the other button could be used for something fun like even-more speed or launching a projectile? Anywho… the game can at times be challenging, as by rushing to reach the end of the course before time runs out, you may then hit other cars which causes damage and your car to slow down, with your car not reaching the end of the course (think I’ll give this one a a miss, bud. The stages come in different flavours, ranging from water bridges to the seashore, a mountainous region and finally a forest-type area. Road Fighter was developed by the fine folk at Konami and the racing element to this game is to reach the finish line before you run out of time, colliding with other vehicles or running out of fuel (although you can refuel your car by hitting a special type of car). But if challenge is your type of thing and you enjoy space-themed games then this could be the racing game for you. The control schemes can be a bit janky and if you do crash then the computer flies past you without a chance of catching them back up so it can be quite the challenging game. Stereo-typically there are lots of black sky and dark colours around to suit the space theme, it was nice to have a racing game that was away from the norm of other more well-known NES titles. It was different to other racing games by being set in space. which meant only one player at a time on screen (and the other player waiting for the on-screen character to die before they get a turn).

The game also has two player local co-op which is a plus compared to the co-op style of say Super Mario Bros. You have two different control schemes and it’s a really personal choice as to which is better, although they both take some getting used to but shies away from the whole “hold the A button to move” that pretty much all the racing games seem to employ.

You can, like other racing games that will feature on this list, upgrade your ship so that it has shields or more powerful weapons which is always nice to have. So imagine how brilliant it is when a game comes along that laughs in the face of being set in 20xx but raises this bar by three whole millennia…that’s right, Galaxy 5000 is a racing game set in the 51st Century (crikey that’s far away – Ed)! The game was published by Activision and you race along in ships, firing weapons in order to win – nothing too complex or convoluted here. Oof, from the looks of things not a great game to kick off the list of top racing games so having read the team’s review, come back over here as things can only get better from here on out, right? Well……īack in the good old days of gaming, when a “futuristic” game was first powered up and there was the short introduction video, the year was always magical, like 20xx and the world seemingly a robotic automated place.

The car feels like it’s going at 30mph despite the awful speedometer saying different.the in-game graphics are bang average, with the cars poorly animated and the tracks bland.The initial presentation looks quite pretty allowing you to ignore the complete lack of any options in the game.The handsome folk here at Arcade Attack (why thank you, good sir – Ed) reviewed this game already here (well worth a read!) All to make AA’s Top Ten NES Racing Games! We love a NES Top Ten, yes we do! Andy (aka UKNESBoy – go follow him on Twitter) comes up with the goods yet again! Racing games were not a ‘strong suit’ of the console but there’s at least ten good (ish) ones which range from burnin rubber on tarmac to tearing it up on the waves.
