Item Description

Line up four trucks on the grid, hand three friends a controller and get ready for some of the best chaos the NES ever served up. R.C. Pro-Am II, Rare's sequel to its 1988 hit, came from Tradewest in December 1992, and its headline feature was racing for up to four human players at once with a four-player adapter, something few NES racers attempted. Critics singled out that multiplayer mode as reason enough to own the game, and Nintendo Power went further, naming it the best NES game of 1993 ahead of Battletoads & Double Dragon and Kirby's Adventure.

The racing is classic Pro-Am: an angled overhead view, nimble little trucks and a field of four in which only the top three move on. This time the 24 tracks come in three flavors, eight standard racetracks, eight cityscape courses and eight off-road runs, with the difficulty climbing from one type to the next. Winter stretches, crossroads, rivers and hills you can turbo up and bounce over keep the scenery changing, while water, mud, ice, oil, ridges and bomb-dropping aircraft are waiting to wreck a good lap.

The biggest change is money. Finishing in the top three earns race points and cash, and between races you spend it in the shop on faster motors, grippier tires and an arsenal that goes beyond missiles and bombs to include freeze beams and buckshot that steals cash from your rivals. Saving up for the expensive upgrades is a real strategic choice. The letter hunt returns too: spell out PRO AM II on the track and you are rewarded with a new, faster vehicle with tighter handling, while tug-of-war and drag race bonus stages add extra points and cash between the main events.

Rare would soon be famous for Donkey Kong Country and its Nintendo 64 hits, and R.C. Pro-Am II shows the studio closing out its NES years by refining a formula it had already nailed once. The game was later included in the Rare Replay compilation on Xbox One, but four players crowded around one screen on the NES is how it was built to be played, and it is the best way to understand why Nintendo Power rated it so highly.
