neoxeno and soop, thanks for the support.

soop, you really should reconsider. You don't know what you're missing. It's not just fun, it's funny too.

I don't think soop can play North American HuCards (yet!).



The winner will be very happy with this great game.

[Shrapnoid]

Yes! It's a lot more fun then you would expect the first time you play it. I wish I could find some old magazine reviews or ads for it but, that's easier said than done.

Okay. Anyone else?

Choose between engine sizes/gear ratios of formula-1 racers and play against the cpu or split screen 2 player mode and if that isn't enough to keep you glued to the screen then try the RPG mode where you must explore, travel to different cities, solve clues, find and buy better parts for your car and deal with opponents who will ambush and force you into races even if you aren't ready! So you better choose well, what parts to upgrade with and develop your on-track skills if you're to get through the story version.

Nice raffle! One of the first games I picked up back in the day. I always thought this game was way under-appreciated... great to see it getting some love in this thread.
Is it just me or is the RPG mode pretty damn tough?

[incrediblehark]

I actually really enjoy this game, and the quest mode in all its cheesyness. Im all set, but thanks Shrapnoid for offering the game for your giveaway!

[roflmao]

Awesome game!  Already got it but +1 TurboKarma to you!

[Shrapnoid]

Thanks again. I'm glad to give it away to someone who really wants to experience it.
Yes, Cab. It can be tough in quest mode when starting out which is why you should talk to everyone you can before you leave town and stick close to the town when racing until you've bought enough performance parts to hold your own against the tougher racers on your way to the next town.

That's part of what makes it so fun. It's like level-building in advance for when things get tough.

Ah.  That's the problem I had.  I basically kept walking straight out and getting beaten.  and then borrowing money from my dad (I think).

Ok, I'll reconsider - add me in   I can always mod one of my spare systems!

Yes! Racing RPG's are great! I'm partial to the Choro Q versions myself. Too bad there wasn't a PC-Engine version as popular as the series is in Japan.

Yeah. I do miss FLT. Was a really cool game, as it were.

Back when I got my GBA I picked up Car Battler Joe hoping it would be similar to Final Lap Twin, but I didn't find it nearly as entertaining.  Racing + RPG = WIN in my book, and Final Lap Twin has been the only American released game I've found so far to satiate that hunger.  Every handful of years I go though the RPG portion.  I've done it twice using the Express while travelling.  Those codes are a pain in the ass on the Express though.

Gadget Racers (Choro Q in the U.S.) for GBA is fun but, it seems to be hard to find.

I'm going to let this raffle run for another 2 hours and 15 minutes for anyone else who wants in.

EDIT: Ooops! I feel asleep! Okay. Now, it's over.

[munchiaz]
