Description

"Race Drivin'" is a 3D driving simulation video game that was released for the Nintendo Super NES in 1992. Developed as a sequel to the successful 1989 game "Hard Drivin'", this title by Atari Games expands upon its predecessor's formula by offering more tracks, enhanced graphics, and additional features like stunt courses and speed tracks. In "Race Drivin'", players take the wheel of high-performance cars and navigate through various courses that are designed to test driving skills with sharp turns, loops, and jumps. The game aims to offer a more realistic driving experience compared to other racing games at the time, featuring a manual transmission option and a force feedback steering wheel in its arcade version.

The game was notable for its attempt to provide a faithful simulation of car handling and physics. Despite its ambition, the Super NES version of "Race Drivin'" was often criticized for its slow frame rate and polygon graphics, which did not translate well from the more powerful arcade hardware. Nevertheless, it remains a memorable endeavor in the early days of 3D racing games. It allowed players to record their fastest laps and included a replay feature to view past races, adding a competitive edge to the gameplay. "Race Drivin'" thus holds a unique place in the history of racing games, representing an early effort to merge realistic driving simulations with home console gaming technology.
