Weird shit that loops around from being novel at the time of release, to not novel at all upon console port, to novel again in the context of emulation. Buying a 5fps racer with a single track for $60-80 in the 90's is criminal behavior: No amount of marketing or tech hype justifies what a waste of money and space that is. But popping in a rom on the couch for 5-10 minutes? Harmless little tech demo.

It still amazes me how devs managed to do 3D on Genesis and SNES sometimes without additional processor chips. It's a shame that effort wasn't spent on a gameplay format as speed and screen-update-intensive as a racer.

This is the part where I plug a 16-bit 3-D game with minimal screen updates and good gameplay. This is the part where I plug True Golf Classics: Pebble Beach Golf Links. This is the part where you play True Golf Classics: Pebble Beach Golf Links.
