or how to not do a top-down racer on the NES. this game is pants and feels like you're driving through tar. as a final insult it has Euro bathtub gargle music in it.

There is a computer-only sequel to Super Cars.

nude sprite hack when?

This is just budget shovelware.
>>
It has bridges you can drive on and under

Coolest thing about this game actually, I can't even begin to comprehend how they made it, it's really smooth too unlike the usual foreground effect on NES which is quite crap

Like I said in the Battle of Olympus thread this one has CHR RAM so the graphics are compressed and it's a bit annoying to modify them.

Rad Racer or R.C. Pro Am.
Micromachines was probably the only one who could do it. And that toy story stage

Even then, it's kinda shitty. Still fun tho.

>win race before your car's fuel/engine/body whatever gauges are depleted
>buy stuff or repair your car between races
and that's pretty much it. it's a budget UNROM cart so don't expect anything too sophisticated here.

You sure you don't want to add more maggots & feathers to that bait?

The first time I looked up a gameplay video of Super Cars I couldn't figure out if it was Japanese or what, then I heard the arpeggio music and was like "guess that answers my question."

Gremlin Graphics also did Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing (this was a full-up MMC1 cart not a budget UNROM one like Super Cars, although released in late 93 so nobody really played it) and Greg Norman's Golf Power.
>>

Super Cars came out first so I half-suspect it was a proof-of-concept thing just to give the programmers some experience with coding a NES racer so they could apply that experience to NMWCR.

>went to the trouble of getting Nissan's permission to use their name on the box
kind of surprised for a budget release like this
>>
>>12560704
That's why it was a budget release. They spent all the money acquiring the rights to put Nissan's name on the cover. (^:
