RC Pro Am is a throwback to the old school racing games. You know the kind, Super Sprint, Off-Road, etc. etc. Made in 1987 (man I'm getting old) by the good people at Rare Inc., RC Pro Am really captured the feel of the arcade game. Actually, I've never played the arcade game so I don't know what I'm talking about, but I have to write something don't I?

Pro Am features some zany wacky features to keep this game from becoming anything similar to NASCAR; a.k.a-watching cars drive around an oval. These spicy additions include; water puddles that slow your car down, oil slicks that make cars spin out, and turbo boosts located on the track that shoot your car off faster than a cheetah off a trampoline.

As you play the game the three other drones that you race against become more and more difficult until you can't even come close to keeping up and your only hope is to shoot the cars as they come by. Oh, I didn't mention that? The best option in the game is that If I remember right there are 26 different tracks. Once you beat all 26 rather, instead of getting a nice 'congratulations, you've beaten the game!' you get to start all over at the first track, only with the items in a different location.

On the title screen of the game it says 'push start for 1 player', as though it were teasing you becuase it doesn't have an option for a multiplayer game. RC Pro Am would be amazing if only it were two player, but alas, that stupid screen will always taunt us and remind us of what only could have been had those Japaneese been trying to promote fellowship by adding a second player mode.
