Best TG16/PCE Racer?

[sheath]

Okay, I've managed to collect Victory Run, Final Lap Twin (Complete) for TG16, as well as Racing Damashii and Power Drift (Complete) for PC-Engine.  I need to spend a lot more time with each of these, as they are definitely solid racers. 

I wish I could play Racing Damashii 2-Player with somebody, maybe once the kiddo ages another year or so.

I really need to land Out Run sometime soon.

True story:

I actually found an Outrun arcade machine to play the other weekend and dropped a few quarters in it. I then wished I could control it with a TG16 pad since I was much better at the home port.

Did the shaking function work?

I was given Outrun and Knight Rider Special today!  These are both great, though Knight Rider is a bit strange in gameplay.  Letting go of the gas and pressing it down again is the only way to go faster and hitting 200KPH causes the car to fly for a very long time.  I also can't figure out whether I am supposed to destroy cars or avoid them.

All the same, yeah Christmas!

I just noticed that the route one second track exposes something I never saw in emulation.  The pillars that cross the road horizontally above the car reach the sprite limit and flicker quite badly when they fill the screen.  Overall I love the way the game looks an plays, it is very fast and very challenging an the animated sprite transitions are smoother than the Genesis game.  I think the Genesis game is higher resolution though, I'll have to check that, and I might prefer the music in the Genesis game.  Since it is a 4Mb versus 8Mb comparison though seeing the games so comparable is excellent.

Man, you should see the SMS version.

I have that too.  I wasn't knocking the PCE version, I was just surprised at such an obvious graphical glitch that I didn't see previously in emulation.

I really like the motoroader series and rally championship.

Victory Run is badass.

sheath, no one was kind enough to warn you about MotoRoader 2: It's mediocre, IMHO. Believe mme, I wanted to like it. I still want to like it.

Why, you ask?

Because I LOVE MotoRoader 1, that's why!

 
MotoRoader MC is OK, but it is closer to Super Sprint than MotoRoader. But Super Sprint is the superior game.


I suppose I should warn you about the Legend of Dekoboko. I haven't played it with 2+ people yet, though, so maybe it can rise above mediocrity.

[sheath]

Yeah, I am not a fan of overhead racing games at all.  The line scroll racers on the PCE/TG16 are very good and right up my alley though.

I played Knight Rider for the first time recently and was like WHY DOES THE CAR KEEP FLYING. THIS IS STUPID.

I wish Rad Racer was on PCE.  and Road Blasters.

those were fun.

The reviews I read says that Knight Rider can be controllable, it is just unorthodox.  I love figuring out quirky games if it pays off and makes the game unique and playable.

Your car takes flight if you hold the gas in.  It is the opposite of every other into-screen driver. 

That's most of the problem.  It doesn't make any sense the way it plays.

Your car takes flight if you hold the gas in.

Wrong.  You make the car jump by pressing button I while you're going over 200 km/h.  When you're driving under 200 km/h, button I is a turbo boost.  All you have to do to accelerate is press Up on the D-pad.
