Product Description

No more bent antennas and crossed frequencies! Radio Control action comes to the Game Boy in this high-octane racing challenge. Take on three other cars as you fly around each track. Between the oil slicks, hairpin turns, and other obstacles, this is going to be a real test of your mettle. Dozens of unique courses keep the replay value high, and you can even take on a friend with the use of a link cable. Cool pickups such as roll cages, better tires, and new batteries are strewn about the tracks, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled. If the competition gets too tough, you can always use bombs, missiles, and more to show your competition who's the boss.

A must have for any Original Nintendo Owner. I haven't seen this game in well over a decade but it's just as much fun now as it was when I was a kid! Too bad I can't find the cheat codes ;)

This review is from: Super R.C. Pro-Am (Game Cartridge)

For those of you who grew up playing the classic NES title R.C. Pro-AM, this game is for you. No doubt many fans of that game knew about this Game Boy version as it was just as good. Released in 1991, Super R.C. Pro-A.M. was either a sequel or a port of the NES game. It doesn't matter really because it followed the same rules and featured the same game mechanics, power ups and items but with different tracks.

You race around 24 tracks against 3 computer controlled cars. You had to place at least 3rd to continue to the next track. You can increase the performance of your care by collecting parts scattered on the tracks. The game also lets you grabs weapons and ammo to use against the other cars. There are roll cages that can be used for brief invincibility by anyone and if you spell out the word "Nintendo", you were rewarded with an upgraded car. If you place 4th, you were given 3 continues but if you use them all without beating it, the game's over.

The PROS: This is exactly like playing R.C. Pro-AM on the NES but in a portable version. It's not a bad thing at all and the tracks are brand new. It will keep you busy as the game gave you enough of a challenge and without a password system or battery backed saves, you had to beat it in one sitting. One thing this game had that wasn't on the NES title was 2 player co op support. You and another player could connect Game Boys via the cable link and tackle the tracks together.

The CONS: As I said before, other than the new tracks, there isn't much of a difference between this game and R.C. Pro-AM.

This game was made for the fans of the classic NES title and it showed. A portable RC Pro-AM game was exactly what gamers wanted and it sold well enough to be a players choice title. It was worth buying and is a good choice if someone wanted to experience some retro racing.
