Item Description

Who expected a Volkswagen New Beetle racer to become such a fondly remembered Nintendo 64 driving game? Beetle Adventure Racing, developed by Paradigm Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, took the cheerful little car and turned it loose on huge, branching courses packed with hidden shortcuts, breakable boxes and secrets, and Nintendo Power Volume 119 gave it the spotlight in spring 1999.

The appeal was exploration at speed. Rather than tight circuits, the tracks sprawled through scenery that rewarded players for leaving the obvious racing line, so a second and third run often revealed a path you had blasted past the first time. Split-screen multiplayer, including a battle-style mode, made it the kind of cartridge that stayed in the console long after its release window.

Magazine coverage of a game like this is a treat because it caught the title before word of mouth had done its work. Reading it now, you can see the moment a quirky licensed racer started building the cult reputation it still carries, surrounded by the previews and colorful layouts that defined the N64 years. Anyone who remembers finding a first secret route through one of its courses will feel that thrill all over again.
