    I don't remember many NES games being quite as addictive, or as maddening, as the original R.C. Pro-Am. It's one of the system's true classics.

    Just 3 minutes ago, I was watching Seinfeld, season6, ep.6 and in Jerry's apartment, on the top shelf is a copy of R.C. Pro-Am.🤓 Very cool!! I paused the screen to make sure I was correct. Yup! Jerry played NES with Kramer back in the day! I was 12 when Pro-Am arrived for NES, played it.. loved it! 🎮

I hope you still have them, AI III is expensive now! Zelda fascinated me as a kid. I sadly was never able to own it back then, but I rented it and even drew maps because the rental didn’t come with the map. The only other game that sparked my sense of wonder as much as Zelda was Metroid. Zelda Link To The Past on SNES was amazing too. Thanks for sharing.

It’s very impressive to have 400 games; good work haha. I think it’s even more impressive to have your childhood games because I remember we sold them all or tossed them when the SNES came out. Collecting for the NES has always been my favourite. Finding them at garage sales and at thrift stores for next to nothing back in the day was the best.

    This was the first real "racing" game on the NES where the other vehicles on the track weren't just obstacles to avoid to create the illusion of a real race. That requires heavy processing capabilities for such primitive hardware, because it has to keep track of where the other racers are and what they're doing when they're off screen.

    I always wished that these old-school racing games - this, your Super Off-Roads, Indy Heats, what-have-you had some sort of definitive Final Race at the end. It was always either jarring to just have the game come to a sudden dead stop (the sequel to this game does that after what I think is either 32 or 36 tracks), or confusing as you wondered if the friggin' game planned on ending at some point in your going-on-three-hour marathon session.
    Sadly, by the time the likes of Rock N' Roll Racing came along and actually gave you quite a cool little ending for your efforts, this style of racing game just sorta faded away afterward.
