Anyone else have this? This game was great. I always loved those racing games on N64

Also, was Crusin USA good? I really really loved the arcade game, is the N64 version pretty similar?

Fuck yeah, Beetle Adventure Racing.

This game was/is rad. I liked the challenge of collecting all the crates and still coming in first.

Aussie custom version with different cars.

Cruisin USA was pretty average if I remember, Cruisn World was better but still nothing special.

I rented Beetle Adventure Racing as a kid and fucking loved it. I picked it up in a retro game store a few years ago but haven't really played it much. It was still pretty fun though.

Cruisin' USA on the 64 was fun but I found it fairly rage-inducing on harder difficulties.

This game was originally created as a Need For Speed game for the N64, just before the new Beetles came out, VW greased EAs palms to change the game to it's current state.

Aw yeah I still own this game. It kinda aged badly though, that framerate...

Also wasn't there a way to activate items, or at least boost boxes in normal races in multiplayer? Can't find a way to do that anymore. Maybe it's something you have to unlock?
