The idea of clowns shooting each other up with seesaws and trampolines is not new. The theme has appeared in arcades since the 70s and has also been transferred to various home consoles. In the 8-bit realm, Comic Circus is by far the best version I know of. However, the console called Super Cassette Vision, which is almost only known in Japan, also came to a tiny degree of fame in Europe through a temporary export collaboration with France. Despite the name Super Cassette Vision, by the way, modules were used as the carrier medium.
"3.. 2 .. 1 .. GO!" And right off the racers go with screaming tyres, tailgating each other eagerly to reach the lead position, which has to be defended at high speed. You snooze, you loose! With great care you have to worm your way past your opponents, while they try to slam you against the tunnel wall or slow you down by surrounding you from all sides. If you don't take care, you end up in the ditch real fast, where you have to struggle hard to reach up front again. Welcome to Screamer, one of the fastest racing games of the late nineties!
It's the early 60s. You're one of those 'cool rebels' who spend all day in their garage with their car. Tuning the motor, polishing it and in more intimate moments, probably even stroking it. However, what's the worth of a beautiful girlfriend which nobody else knows about? Exactly. That's why you're taking part in illegal road races.
There's just one place where people like you meet in your home town Los Angeles: Bob's Drive-In. Just pick one of the people who drive by in their car and challenge them either for a road race (exactly what you'll expect it to be) or a drag race (just a short straight track to test the competing cars' accelleration and top speed).
