CGQuarterly Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Welcome to round 5 of the 10th season of the Atari Age NES High Score League! I'm going back to 2-week rounds this season. This round we are going to play Rad Racer. Did you know that Rad Racer was designed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, and scored by Nobuo Uematsu, both of Final Fantasy fame, and was coded by Sirius Software (of Apple II fame) founder Nasir Gebelli? PRIZE ALERT From here on out, I am going to post a "prize pool" each week consisting of 3 prizes. That round's winner will get to choose from the three items, and a new item will be added. People are welcome to donate any Nintendo-related items to be used in the pool. Doing so will allow you to pick a game to be played. This week's rize pool will be posted once cparsley picks his prize for the last round. This round ends on Monday, March 18th. Title: Rad Racer Developer: Square Publisher: Nintendo Released: October 1987 (US) http://youtu.be/acVEuue5wkw Rules: Pick either car. Scores so far: Current standings: 1.

darthkur Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 15,972 Unfortunately I don't own this cart so I have to run it through an emulator. I do have Rad Racer II though. I also find myself just making it through some of the check points, coasting on empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I also find myself just making it through some of the check points, coasting on empty. I think I enjoy it because it feels like I am getting away with something I shouldn't.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGQuarterly Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have to travel all week this week for work, so I may not get to deal with this for a few days. But there is still a prize pool for this round, and I will start the next round as soon as I can. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
