Famidaily - Episode 0050 - Road Fighter (ロードファイター)

Konami's road race game might be their worst game for the Famicom. How low is that bar?
Famidaily is my attempt to catalog all of the commercially released Famicom games.

congratulations on the 50th episode!

Thank you! I thought about doing something for the 50 increments, but I realized that as a history and computing series, I need to celebrate year and binary roll-overs. 😃
To give you an idea of the buffer depth, though, I'm editing episode 100 today.

I programmed C64 games from 1993-1999. I couldn't draw, but PETSCII allowed for some pretty nice looking graphics.

I wish we got this in the US, it seems really fun despite its simplicity.

[@Jaminsongunner]

if this was on the disk system it would be worth it

I remember R.C. Pro-Am having similar sound design but perhaps better road fighting...

Remember to steer the way you slide once you've collided, then you'll stop skidding :D

I'm sure I emulated this one at some point. fun little racer! though I really love the spiritual successor on MSX, F1 Spirit! because yeah it's pretty basic.
