In the arcades, this was kind of a big deal back in the day. It looks like hot garbage now, but full 3D vehicles moving through the environment was almost witchcraft back then even though it was just very basic coloured boxes.

The Atari Lynx version was... well, hot garbage even back then. There is only the one course from the arcade machine, which splits into two for a "speed" track and a "stunt" track section. Of course you always choose the stunt section to try and drive the big loop. But the frame rate is terrible, and the road feels too small and when you occasionally meet an oncoming car you end up crashing into it because both of you seem to occupy the full width of the road at the same time.

Hardly any content, and essentially unplayable. I paid full price for this game and 30 years later I'm still salty.
