  • This game was WAY ahead of its time graphically.

  • What happens when you combine Pole Position with OutRun and add two extra screens? You'll probably end up with this game. Very rare find! Much love for posting this!

  • Needs a PlayStation Network release!

  • POLE POSITION!!!!!!!!!! ripoff. lol

  • 横3画面の大型筐体が斬新だった

  • man! seen this played on starcade! the one i'm trying to find with working sound is the game mazer blazer.

  • funny the racing sound is the same as TRON

  • 410 kilometers per hour? Holy shit, that's a lot faster than a Bugatti Veyron!

  • Looks quite impressive. Pure 60 FPS

  • its Hars to beleive they had something this well made this even before Mario brothers 8 bit freakin game.

  • It's easy to find, and it was by chance (working copy):

    (1) Find a broken tx1a rom, and note the 1'st missing file's name, when Mame crashes out to the command prompt.

    (2) Go to Google, and search for the first missing file's name.

    (3) It leads you to a site with a working TX-1 (tx1a.zip) game, similar to this video (minus the monitor lines, and vertical distortion).

  • I think in this game the calculated 3D view of the road doesn't look as good as in Pole Position... here it seems that at times the street doesn't move forward for a time (while in a curve), and then it suddenly changes to a slightly different view, revealing the next curve which wasn't visible before.
