Another great one!  We loved the repair vehicle and saving money for new races.  I still play this on my arcade cab, somehow I'm really terrible at it now.  Might have to bust out the game genie codes...   :laugh2:

It sure was. In my opinion, it was the closest thing to Mario Kart on the NES.

Check out Bang Bang Racing for a modern version of R.C. Pro-AM.

PC - Kings Quest games (Sierra Adventure games)
NES - SMB3, Bee 52, Base wars

Post Little Kid Youth
SNES - Donkey Kong series, Killer Instinct

Young Kid Youth
