Item Description

Hold Down at the starting line, watch the turbo gauge climb to the top, then hit the gas and launch past 250 miles per hour: Rad Racer II opens every race with a power start that sets the tone for Square's American road trip. The sequel to Square's Rad Racer was made for the North American market and never released in Japan, making it one of the more unusual entries in the company's NES catalog.

The eight courses form a coast-to-coast tour with real variety in scenery and mood. You start in daylight along the water at Key West, race through the Big Apple at night, wind through overcast Gettysburg and dodge roadside boulders among the rock formations of Monument Valley. Las Vegas Boulevard spirals under a neon skyline, the Rocky Mountains bring snow and icy fog, Twilight California fades into dusk with poor visibility and treacherous traction, and the finale crosses San Francisco's Bay Bridge in traffic. Two checkpoints per stage keep the clock ticking, and any seconds you save carry forward, so a clean run through one section buys breathing room in the next.

Before each race you pick your soundtrack from the course map, choosing between two tunes or switching the music off to drive in silence. Traffic is a hazard of its own, and the spinouts are real: clip a boulder or overcook a curve and you will watch precious seconds evaporate while you recover. Crashes matter less than making the checkpoints, which keeps the focus on speed and nerve rather than perfection.

Rad Racer II is the natural next stop for anyone who loved the first game's Out Run-style rush on the NES. It is also a fun curio for Square collectors, a reminder that the studio behind Final Fantasy was once building arcade racers for American players.
