Description

"Safari Race" is an early racing video game developed and published by Sega for its SG-1000 console, released in 1984. In this game, players embark on an unconventional race across various African wildlife environments, steering a car through expansive levels that include deserts, savannahs, and jungle terrains. The gameplay involves navigating a series of obstacles, such as animals crossing the roads and other natural barriers, which add a layer of complexity and unpredictability. Players must reach checkpoints within a time limit to extend gameplay and rack up points, capturing the thrill and excitement of a high-speed rally across an exotic landscape.

The game was notable for its early use of an overhead racing view, a mechanism that would become a staple in later racing games but was relatively novel at the time of "Safari Race"'s release. Although the Sega SG-1000 was not as commercially successful internationally as its contemporaries, games like "Safari Race" were significant in showcasing Sega's innovative approach to game design and genre exploration in the early days of video gaming. The title stands out for its unique theme and setting, making it a remembered part of the SG-1000’s library, particularly among collectors and retro gaming enthusiasts who value the historical context and evolution of video games.
