- One of about four dozen SNES racing games, but this one stands out in ways you wouldn't expect since it uses the SNES Mouse and the Super Scope! New SNES-related video every Tuesday, and something else (Genesis, Game Boy, whatever) on Thursdays

Made by French developers, focused on an Italian car, set in American streets, released on a Japanese console. Gotta love it.
😂😂😂😂 I love it!
😂 😂 😂 😂 I love it!
Globalisation in a Nutshell ^^
No good french cars. No Italian consoles. Might explain why! 😆

This is the new Lamborghini order of racing, brother!
NLO
Absolutely addicted to late 80s all to the way to mid-late 90s' sprites/backgrounds. Somehow, they tell so much with very little indeed.
Backgrounds look great.
If you haven't heard of it before you should totally check out Rise of the Dragon on Sega CD. It's a point and click with just excellent spritework and general art. It just has such a detailed yet retro feel. There's something so awesome about it.
Played this game to death as a kid. It may well have been the first game I ever completed. The hit boxes were janky and most of the tracks were never ending curves. Rarely any straight sections to really throttle it up, but the championship mode, the pixel map of the US, the upgrades, betting and police, the mad characters and the music really made it for me. Love it. Thanks for giving it a video 👍
I had played this thing in DOS so when you said it was compatible with the Super Scope I was like "What???!!!"
The fact they included an extra mode just for the peripheral is both silly and awesome!
Same here. It was part of a discount collection that was sold at newstands.
same! I had a MEGAGAMES shareware CD that had this game on it for DOS
@@coreygeiger81 hahah thank you for reminding me about shareware! I remember playing the shareware version of Doom thinking it was the entire game since I couldn't even read properly yet ^^
One of the most fun games I've played. Simple yet fun. Definite MUST play
Also, I know you've mentioned Top Gear on here a few times (I think), and that's one of my top 10 all time favorites! Have you tried Horizon Chase Turbo for the Switch, by chance? It's essentially a spiritual successor and even had the soundtrack done by Top Gear's original composer!
I really enjoy your videos. Don't stop making them. Ever.
Well that’s scary
@@JoshuaJacobs83 no shit! 😁
@@testshietchannel I thought only women got tsunderes
@@JoshuaJacobs83 you made me spit out my choccy milk great job
@@JoshuaJacobs83 I don't even know what that means 🤷♀️
Loved this game as a kid. It was like a 90's version of Out Run with the Ferrari Testarossa. Automobilli Lamborghini was great too.
2:34 amazing cityscape there. Love these pieces of trivia, didnt know this game was compatible with the mouse and the super scope
Your comment gave me an ad when I tried clicking on 2:34, to double check the city skyline. Lol... :) But hey, I do love the '80s and '90s aesthetic of this game. Quite curious if the Valve Steam Deck can emulate this.
I really liked this game as a kid. My dad was really into cars and racing, so he ended up getting me this and I ended up really enjoying it.
Now that's a cool and unusual use for the Super Scope. That police gimmick also happened in the Sega arcade Rad Mobile, an awesome racing game for that time imho
i wonder if you can shoot the police with the super scope lol overall though yeah cool game
This looks like a pretty fun game that I've never played before, so I'll have to try it out! I love the assortment of cities to race in too...such prominent locales, such as Boston, Miami, Houston...and Spokane?
I played this game on a emulator it was fun to play😊
The 2 player Super Scope mode sounds awesome. I don't have any friends to play 2 players with, but if I did I'd definitely try this one out.
@@8thaccount535 I wish I had a Super Scope, because this seems like some fun! I had a nice boxed one a while back that I'd bought from a game store for $20, but it had corroded batteries in it, and it couldn't be saved :( I ended up selling that one a couple of years ago to a collector that wanted it for display and haven't bothered finding a replacement.
@@KamikazeXero Of course it could be saved, battery compartments aren't rocket science.
@@tithund Nice condescending reply. It may not have been "rocket science," but taking apart a Super Scope and putting it back together isn't very fun and likely not worth the effort. The corroded contacts for the battery compartment were buried deep within the barrel of the scope.
You just unlocked a deep memory of mine with this. Me and a buddy spent like a whole weekend on this many, many years ago. Good times.
I wish we'd had a Super Scope and knew about this. In fact, one day I'm going to have buy one or my life will never be totally complete.
Oh man. This game was my childhood. So much frustration, so much fun.
I remember this from my old SNES magezines. The only thing that jogged my memory was Felicia in the list of racers. Funny how little details stick in your memory for decades.
Can’t blame you, redheads are forever messing up our hearts, right? 🥲
@@altoticket bloody oath. They can be a nasty addiction but how can we resist.
"The racing is pretty pedestrian." I see what you did there.
I liked 'It's pretty jank' lol.
Total length of video: 330 secs.
Total length of "SNES Drunk": 3.5 secs.
1.06% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk".
I hate long introductory sequences
there should be a "top 10 highest percentage of listening to "SNES Drunk" in SNES Drunk videos" - video...
Strangely under par.
I STILL love this game. It's hella fun and at was pretty far ahead of it's time.
Ardy lightfoot is an awesome platformer for SNES that was published by Titus. It was however developed by ASCII
Had this on my IBM PC back in the day on dos, it was a fun game and had a very good aesthetics for a dos game, but I am pretty sure the snes was more than just a port and more like a different design , cant really tell since it was a very long time ago, but I remember I liked this game a lot.
This reminds me of Road Rash in a lot of ways. Might pick this up actually.
4:42 Saying the “driving is pretty pedestrian” sounds so weirdly funny in my head, haha
I remember the Amiga version of this being really quite good. It wasn't just on CD32, it had a 3.5" disk edition, too.
That was one of my favorite games back in the day. I want this game to be your new favorite.
The lamborghini game where you blow up all of the other cars in 2 player mode sounds like an urban legend.
Dang over 230k subscribers! Wow i remember when you were at 19k. Congrats Drunk. 🍻
As a kid I liked this game, I knew Titus sucked thanks to magazines like Nintendo Power, but this was not bad.
The game was more than a racing game with all these details mentioned in the video, you had to plan carefully your spending here to upgrade correctly your car, try to avoid damaging it during races... It kept me engaged during months till I beat it and that was hugely rewarding.
Great memories!
The Dos version came free on a shareware CD I had bitd, under the title "Crazy Cars 3". For whatever reason, commercial games accidentally ended up on those a lot!
As a Kid I loved this game, the betting mechanic was pretty original at the time.
Still like this more than Top Gear 🙂
How many times...
First place, last lap...
Have to stop for gas and lose, or run out of gas and lose...
Memories :)
I've enjoyed this game for years and years and had no idea it had a Super Scope mode, or that it's mouse compatible.
Titus seemed best at racing games. I genuinely enjoy 'Roadsters' and 'Automobili Lamborghini' on the N64, and would recommend everyone at least try them once. Much like this game, they're not 'hidden gems' or anything, but they're not trash either. They're just something fun to try when you get bored of all the more popular racing games on the console.
Lamborghinis were probably the most popular exotic cars in the 90s. Having this game would’ve been so cool. Wish I would’ve known about it back then, would’ve gotten it instead of Race Drivin’🤦🏻♂️ The backgrounds look cool, well the graphics look great over all. Nice review, thanks 👍
Yo, the brute man?! Excellent reference! Rondo the creeper 😆
An illegal street race using Lamborghinis in Spokane Washington?
How EXOTIC
Okay, that "hidden gamemode" with the gun is really freaking hilarious!
Hey, how about a video about other games that feature like "unexpected gamemodes"?
Played this on DOS. I had no idea about the Super Scope compatibility.
If I remember correctly, it was possible to play with Tidus, the fox on the company's logo, via code. Me and my brother had this game at the time and it was a lot of fun.
Titus also made one other Lamborghini game on the N64. Automobili Lamborghin a decent racer with a pretty good soundtrack.
I think you're the only channel RUclips always let's me know has a new video.
I love this style of game, but I've always figured if you're going to play this then you may as well just play Top Gear on SNES or Outrun on Mega Drive and enjoy yourself instead. I had no idea about the two-player super scope thing tho, that's actually pretty impressive.
The best part is always the outro. Fast and simple.
We've got an MST3K fan! Nice Brute Man reference!
The unofficial Lucky & Wild port when played with the super scope (Ok, no really, but interesting piece of trivia)
My Life In Gaming just talked about this game in their Super Scope compatible games.
I actually never played this game. Pretty cool concept on using The Mouse and the super scope. And it's pretty dope that one person can driving the other ones shoot. It's like that arcade game that agvn played lucky and Wild with Mike
Titus made Whizz too and I am not ashamed to admit that I loved it as a kid.
I rewind that intro got to love it..
On the one stage it appears that you’re driving towards like 8 different cities- all on the horizon and all separated by a bit of distance- they’re all around you and you’re always the same distance from all of them- you never reach any one. Maybe you are inside this enormous ring city.
Wow, I had no idea this game was compatible with the Super Scope and mouse. Granted, I would have had no way to make use of that functionality since I never had those accessories but still neat to learn all these years later.
Funny seeing Ryu's SFV Chuck Norris costume and E. Honda as enemy racers in this.
This reminds me of a game I recently played on the switch: 80s Overdrive
Was gonna say the exact thing. Not sure if the same people were involved, but 80s overdrive looks to be an almost identical game, just updated.
I’ll be honest I giggled into my coffee at “steered with my feet”. I will be sure to try that myself that’s awesome haha.
Was this game ever featured on Punching Weight? And crazy that this game did already back then what that Starsky &Hutch game did years later.
I don't think so. We must summon uncle derrick
I know you mentioned top gear at the end but the graphics look very similar to topgear 3000 that I played a fair bit of but with police and accessories support, cool.
I had this one. Got me by the bet system, wich made it sooo badass back in the day.
Weird..I owned this and never knew it supported those peripherals. Interesting.
Gameplay reminds me a lot of Lotus III (Lotus II Recs on Genesis) but with extra bells and whistles. If you haven’t played it, I’d recommend it. It might remind you too much of other racers if it’s time but it’s got one of the best soundtracks of all time.
Top Gear games on the Snes are made by the Lotus guys!
Waldorf: It's not too bad.
Statler: That's the novelty.
Hahahahaha. =P
Joshing aside, looks okay.
Whoa... ya got me. Never played or even saw it. I loved Top Gear and this kind of looks like a sequel to that (I mean outside of TG2 and 3000). I'm going to try and find this! Thanks SnesDrunk.
Never in a million years would I have thought the cover of this game that I saw in rental stores contained what I’m seeing in this video.
My bro and I used to play this endlessly on DOS. It's not a bad game at all.
One of the funniest things was to get the police to chase you and then turn it into a Hollywood style chase scene, it was even funnier when you had your car on higher levels (gears, NOs, speed etc)
I just saw a review of another Drive n' Shoot game "Starsky and Hutch" on FrameRater, I had no clue there was a similar game on the SNES, cool!
Wow, I never heard of this game. It looks fun.
When one of my favorite RUclipsrs reference another of my favorite RUclipsrs is a “small world” moment...
That is awesome they included a mode for the Super Scope!
I remember seeing this game on the shelves at the mega movies rental store. For the longest time I avoided it. But eventually I rented it and thought it wasn't too bad either.
Lamborghini American dream looks good for me to play. 😀👍🎮
Looks like a stripped down Top Gear with some extras. Love that game so would (will) check this out.
I had this on my computer when I was young, idk how it got on there cause this was before downloading off the internet. It was pretty fun.
I like these kinds of racers. Reminds me of a truck racer on Sega. Could upgrade your engine and other performance parts, tires, think you had a few defensive mechanisms. Kinda k me Combat Cars but not so much combat.
Heck yes more snes reviews from
The goat himself! Keep up the great work snes drunk!!! 🤛
....die you mean goat....or god? ;)
@@MeinenNamenSagIchNicht 🤣🤣
I think I remember seeing this game at a video rental place as a kid, but I always passed it up as it just looked like a generic racing game from the box.
I guess I shouldn't have judged a game by its cover. It really seems like quite the ambitious SNES racer. The whole betting, car upgrading and police chases at least adds some additional depth.
I don't remember many other racing games in the early 90's having many more options than pick your vehicle, pick your track...and race! This game definitely seems like it was ahead of its time with its features. It is almost like an early Need For Speed! 😅
Man, that "pedestrian" pun caught me off guard
Come for the review. Stay for the obscure references.
Love Titus game "Fox". Very decent DOS platformer.
Wow that gun part second player thing is awsome
"No not that Police" totally got me off guard, LOL!!
I played this game as a kid, and it is now part of my rebuild collection...
and I had no idea about the mouse and the super scope...
and since I have the mouse I might try using it with this some time....
WUUUUUT?????
I could have used the super scope in a racer!?!?!?!
Revelations like that right there is why you’re a knowledge warrior SNESdrunk
Weird idea with the Super Scope but points for trying. The two player idea sounds better but the single player is iffy.
I remember seeing this on shelves at the rental stores, never rented it, the whole thing just looked like Top Gear. Guess most people thought the same, can't remember anyone having this game back then. Still, interesting that the game had all those extras with the mouse and scope support.
Loved this one man, cheers
I knew I saw a frame of the Police in your video preview lol
The racing in this car-racing game is "pedestrian." Nice.
This does look really fun. I really loved Daytona USA and the wheel at arcades as a kid. Sadly I usually lost to my older brother but still fun lol
I used to rent this as a kid from a local place called MovieTime. Ah, memories. Always enjoyed this one.
Always wondered about this game. Had me on mouse and scope support tbf.
I'm pretty certain I saw my friend play this once when I was very young, and never knew what it was called. I think this is mystery solved! Thank you!
Are the songs playing in the background actually from the game? I remember all of them vividly and can tell they're from something I played in my childhood (90's) but I don't remember owning/playing the game. Brainfart means I must be getting older 😁
It is. Cool songs tho'.
The two player Super Scope mode sounds awesome.
Having watched this I can now have a great rest of my day
Had this on CD32 and Game Boy. Music was great.
Reminds me of Enduro for the Atari 2600. Basic but good.
I wonder if the developers of _80s Overdrive_ were either inspired by or were the developers of this game; a lot of the visuals look similar to that later game.
I never played this one, but I DO remember seeing the ads for it, I had to wonder how the heck it would work with the super scope (and the mouse)! makes me wish Namco had found a way to port Lucky & WIld and have it use the Justifier... I'm sure they could've figured something out?!
I actually really liked this game as a kid.
Yeah the extra bit of novelty is pretty interesting actually. It is an oddity you usually don't see that level of commitment to a product like this.
Hi snesdrunk,i noticed you havent reviewed any Formula 1 games on the console.I would like to hear what you think about those games.Nice channel,keep up the good work!
I remember that game played the hell out of it so much fun
