Go, Speed Racer, Go!

I cleaned out a clog of racing games that had backed up in the queue. Check out the shorts reviews for Motorhead, Motoracer 2 and Redline Racer. To wrap it up, there's a quick impression of Motocross Madness.

Anyway, while I'm here, I might as well say a word or two about the racing games. All of the above are arcade games, and with the exception of Motorhead, motorcycle arcade games. On a lark, I picked up Redline Racer on Ebay, and suddenly found myself playing three different motorcycle games, all originating from within a few months of each other in 1998. I threw Motorhead in the mix, since it, too, is a 1998 game, and I've actually been playing it since 1998 and wanted to say some nice things about it. But now that all of those are out of the way, I'm going to be sinking my teeth into a couple of hardest of hard-core sims: Grand Prix Legends, and the recently released F1 2002. Should be fun. Horribly, hair-pullingly frustrating... and fun!
