Race Drivin' is a groundbreaking 3D driving simulation ported by Sterling Silver Software based on Atari Games' legendary 1989 arcade original. As one of the earliest attempts to bring true polygon-based driving into a 16-bit home console, the game challenges drivers to test high-performance sports cars through stunt tracks featuring loop-the-loops, narrow wooden bridges, and high-speed banked turns.
GAME ID: SNS-RV-USA
Released in October 1992 in the USA.
Pioneering 3D Polygon Graphics:
While most SNES titles relied on 2D sprites and Mode 7 scaling, Race Drivin' pushed the console's processing capabilities by utilizing specialized software routines to render 3D wireframe and solid-shaded polygons on standard home hardware.
The Infamous Stunt Track:
The game became legendary in arcades and home ports alike for its unforgiving stunt courses, where missing a shift or taking a corner too fast sent the car tumbling off elevated tracks into the abyss.
