Hashiriya: Ookami-tachi no Densetsu
1997
A neat drift-racing game ala Initial D that lets you choose among 15 cars and 5 courses. You can race against up to 5 cars in the arcade mode and there's also a story, time trial and practice mode (where you can train tricky parts of courses). Graphics and sound are passable but unremarkable (you can listen the 12 redbook tracks on your stereo) and the handling is a bit hard to get into at first as it feels a bit stiff with a digital pad. I'd recommened using the Negcon, which helps quite a bit. An obscure racing wheel, the "Cockpit Wheel" (SLHP-00024) is also supported. Sadly no multiplayer option, but all in all I'd say it's a nice little racer, albeit not quite up on par with the greats (Side by Side Special, Touge MAX G).Test Drive: Off-Road

BS F-Zero Grand Prix is a remixed version of the original F-Zero released only in Japan for the Satellaview attachment of the Super Famicom. It was released in four parts from late-1996 to early-1997, and was a SoundLink title where an announcer provided commentary during gameplay. As the original game was only three cups, a fourth cup called Ace League was added. Each cup had the courses in a slightly different order, and a new course not found in the original game served as the fifth track (with Mute City I being reused once at the beginning of the final week).Side by Side 2

Over REV is a 1997 racing game developed by Jaleco for Sega's Model 2 arcade board. It features four nicely rendered tracks across the Greater Tokyo Area. Although it has some serious issues with driving and collision physics, if you stick with the game long enough to overcome its intricacies, it can be pretty rewarding.
