The King of Route 66. Ported by Tose and based on the arcade game from Sega AM2.
I really enjoyed this despite its one-note gameplay. Every level involves you getting from A to B across a section of America’s Route 66, but the course design is generally fantastic, and the cheaty AI opponents encourage you to keep your eyes peeled for shortcuts and never get complacent about using your limited nitrous reserves.
It’s good a lot of silly character too, and at 2-3 hours running time (including many restarts) the main arcade game never outstays its welcome.
I also finished Fantasy Zone after finally figuring out how to destroy the last alien that father OpaOpa dispatches. Great game but that last boss is a minor blotch with its forced trial and error approach to defeating it.
