It said, right on the start:
"And here they are! The worlds most daredevil group of daffy drivers who ever whirled their wheels in the Wacky Races! Competing for the title, of the worlds wackiest racer!"

Sometimes getting stuck with old tech is good.

Meanwhile in Brazil the monkeys got stuck with Genesis and never ever produced a single good game or something that isn't a rip-off.

How? Is this FMV?

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 20 23:10:42 2017 No.3812849 >>3812839 >>3812279 Literally the only good part about C64 was the sound. I guess any attempts to create any semblance of gameplay on this machine were doomed from the start, especially with piracy and game prices more akin to discount bin.

Got the urge to play pic-related earlier tonight. I forget how gorgeous this game is. It's probably not just one of the best-looking Genesis games, but one of the best-looking 16-bit games, period. I can't think of many other games that had such flawless art direction.

My only Infogrames game was Snoopy Tennis, and actually I found the graphics to be mediocre, but I loved the gameplay. I actually preferred it to the GBC Mario Tennis.

I played the shit out of both Earthworm Jim games when I was a kid, so I've taken them for granted all these years, but they really do have some of the best graphics of their time, and the sprite animations are amazing.

Z Gundam for the Famicom, both the retail and limited versions. Impressive for an '86 release, and the gameplay itself is solid too

Also Laser Invasion/Gun Sight for mixing 3 types of game in one and making it all work
