Highway Star (1987) was known as Rad Racer in North America — a behind-the-car racing game developed by Square (yes, the Final Fantasy studio) that was one of the most popular racing games on the NES/Famicom. The game featured a red Ferrari-style car speeding through varied environments with a 3-D glasses mode that used the system's stereoscopic capabilities. Before Square became synonymous with RPGs, they produced a range of genres including this racing classic. Highway Star was also famously featured in the Nintendo World Championships cartridge, making it a cornerstone of competitive retro gaming history. This Japanese CIB copy with its premium automotive-styled box art is a collector's piece. Pedal to the metal.
