Item Description
The countdown ends, three rival trucks surge ahead, and you are already lining up a missile for the leader. R.C. Pro-Am turned remote-control racing into one of the NES's great arcade thrills, and it did it with remarkable economy: a tilted overhead view of the track, a radio-controlled truck that handles the way a toy should, and a pocketful of weapons. Rare built it in 1988, and its blend of racing and combat has been credited by reviewers as an inspiration for Super Off Road, Rock n' Roll Racing and Mario Kart.
Each race pits you against three computer opponents, and only the top three qualify for the next track, a simple rule that turns every lap into a fight. Missiles knock out the truck ahead, bombs dropped behind you catch whoever is tailgating, and zippers on the track give sudden bursts of speed. The courses fight back with oil slicks, puddles, rain squalls and barriers that pop up without warning, so a clean run takes memory as much as reflexes.
Upgrades keep you hooked. Tune-up pickups boost acceleration, top speed and grip, and collecting the letters scattered around the courses to spell NINTENDO upgrades your vehicle, first to the 4-Wheeler and then to the Off Roader. Across 32 races the computer trucks get faster and meaner, and the late rounds become a frantic test of everything you have learned. David Wise, later the composer behind Donkey Kong Country, wrote the music, giving Rare's breakout NES racer a soundtrack with energy to match its pace.
R.C. Pro-Am sold more than two million copies and launched a series that continued with R.C. Pro-Am II on the NES and Super R.C. Pro-Am on Game Boy, while its planned Nintendo 64 follow-up eventually became Diddy Kong Racing. Played today, it still feels wonderfully immediate: no menus to wade through, just race, shoot, upgrade and go again. It draws a direct line from Rare's early days to the kart racers that followed, and its pick-up-and-play energy has not dulled a bit.

About the game
Presented in an overhead isometric perspective, a single player races a radio-controlled car around a series of tracks. The objective of each track is to qualify for the next race by placing in the top three racers. Players collect items to improve performance, and they must avoid a variety of hazards such as rain puddles and oil slicks. It is an example of a racing game which features vehicular combat, in which racers can use missiles and bombs to temporarily disable opposing vehicles. The game distanced itself from earlier racing titles by using an overhead, instead of a first-person, perspective. Reviews have cited it as inspiration for future games such as Super Off Road, Rock n' Roll Racing, and the Mario Kart series. It has appeared in many "top games of all time" lists and is regarded as one of the best titles in the NES library.
