Don't mistake "Super" Off-Road for some halfhearted sequel, oh no!
This is the original, spin the steering-wheel like a sea-captain, skip the shocks, buy the acceleration, rumble around yet another brown dirt track via a locked overhead pespective stand-up arcade racing classic you know and love so well.
There is no functional difference between the arcade version and the Super NES Version, except the lack of a big, freely rotating wheel to steer by.
I loved this game in the arcade, and I love it now.
Does anyone know the name of the parralax-scrolling absolute top down rally racer that was similar in concept to this game? I have been looking for it for years. You could purchase front and rear wings, front and rear ENGINEs, nitro, tires, etc. You had to BUY GAS! In the arcade, four people stood on each side of the screen, which was laid out flat like a table. If your opponents got too far ahead of you, you would be warped forward and lose gas. Like Super Off-Road, you could pick up items which appeared randomly on the track. Unlike Super Off Road, this game had more upgrades, featured a scrolling view, and had obstacles which moved with time, for instance ocean waves. Please if you know what game this is, EMail crazyfreakinweirdo@yahoo.com.
