Image: MobyGames

Race Drivin'

90 seconds of gameplay. 90 frames of animation.


Genre: simulation - driving

Publisher: T*HQ

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

Much has been said about this game's atrocious framerate. 1 FPS is probably an exaggeration. As you might expect, this makes its controls completely unusable. However, even if the game played at 60 FPS the entire game amounts to driving around 3 tracks. A lap on any one of these tracks takes about 30 seconds and there are no modes, features, or differences of any sort on these tracks no matter how many times you drive around them. So, this game provides 90 seconds worth of content. Yeah


Level Design Score: 0

Level Design Notes:

Three tracks. One has a loop. Each track has a lap time of about 30 seconds.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Drive a car. Mmm k


Art Style Score: 0

Art Style Notes:

Hideous. I remember seeing and playing this in the arcades when it was practically brand new and being thoroughly unimpressed. That was almost 40 years ago.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

There's music on the title screen that isn't horrible. During "gameplay" you only get the whine of the engine and a satisfying crunch sound when you crash.


Overall Score: 3

Review ID: 444
