- One of about four dozen SNES racing games, but this one stands out in ways you wouldn't expect since it uses the SNES Mouse and the Super Scope! New SNES-related video every Tuesday, and something else (Genesis, Game Boy, whatever) on Thursdays

Made by French developers, focused on an Italian car, set in American streets, released on a Japanese console. Gotta love it.
😂😂😂😂 I love it!
😂 😂 😂 😂 I love it!
Globalisation in a Nutshell ^^
No good french cars. No Italian consoles. Might explain why! 😆

"Looks like he spray painted his beard like Hollywood Hogan."
This is the new Lamborghini order of racing, brother!
NLO
Absolutely addicted to late 80s all to the way to mid-late 90s' sprites/backgrounds. Somehow, they tell so much with very little indeed.
Backgrounds look great.
If you haven't heard of it before you should totally check out Rise of the Dragon on Sega CD. It's a point and click with just excellent spritework and general art. It just has such a detailed yet retro feel. There's something so awesome about it.
Also, I know you've mentioned Top Gear on here a few times (I think), and that's one of my top 10 all time favorites! Have you tried Horizon Chase Turbo for the Switch, by chance? It's essentially a spiritual successor and even had the soundtrack done by Top Gear's original composer!
I really enjoy your videos. Don't stop making them. Ever.
Well that’s scary
@@JoshuaJacobs83 no shit! 😁
@@testshietchannel I thought only women got tsunderes
@@JoshuaJacobs83 you made me spit out my choccy milk great job
@@JoshuaJacobs83 I don't even know what that means 🤷♀️
I had played this thing in DOS so when you said it was compatible with the Super Scope I was like "What???!!!"
The fact they included an extra mode just for the peripheral is both silly and awesome!
Same here. It was part of a discount collection that was sold at newstands.
same! I had a MEGAGAMES shareware CD that had this game on it for DOS
@@coreygeiger81 hahah thank you for reminding me about shareware! I remember playing the shareware version of Doom thinking it was the entire game since I couldn't even read properly yet ^^
Total length of video: 330 secs.
Total length of "SNES Drunk": 3.5 secs.
1.06% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk".
I hate long introductory sequences
there should be a "top 10 highest percentage of listening to "SNES Drunk" in SNES Drunk videos" - video...
Strangely under par.
One of the most fun games I've played. Simple yet fun. Definite MUST play
Played this game to death as a kid. It may well have been the first game I ever completed. The hit boxes were janky and most of the tracks were never ending curves. Rarely any straight sections to really throttle it up, but the championship mode, the pixel map of the US, the upgrades, betting and police, the mad characters and the music really made it for me. Love it. Thanks for giving it a video 👍
I really liked this game as a kid. My dad was really into cars and racing, so he ended up getting me this and I ended up really enjoying it.
Loved this game as a kid. It was like a 90's version of Out Run with the Ferrari Testarossa. Automobilli Lamborghini was great too.
This looks like a pretty fun game that I've never played before, so I'll have to try it out! I love the assortment of cities to race in too...such prominent locales, such as Boston, Miami, Houston...and Spokane?
I played this game on a emulator it was fun to play😊
The 2 player Super Scope mode sounds awesome. I don't have any friends to play 2 players with, but if I did I'd definitely try this one out.
@@8thaccount535 I wish I had a Super Scope, because this seems like some fun! I had a nice boxed one a while back that I'd bought from a game store for $20, but it had corroded batteries in it, and it couldn't be saved :( I ended up selling that one a couple of years ago to a collector that wanted it for display and haven't bothered finding a replacement.
@@KamikazeXero Of course it could be saved, battery compartments aren't rocket science.
@@tithund Nice condescending reply. It may not have been "rocket science," but taking apart a Super Scope and putting it back together isn't very fun and likely not worth the effort. The corroded contacts for the battery compartment were buried deep within the barrel of the scope.
I STILL love this game. It's hella fun and at was pretty far ahead of it's time.
This reminds me of Road Rash in a lot of ways. Might pick this up actually.
"The racing is pretty pedestrian." I see what you did there.
I liked 'It's pretty jank' lol.
An illegal street race using Lamborghinis in Spokane Washington?
How EXOTIC
2:34 amazing cityscape there. Love these pieces of trivia, didnt know this game was compatible with the mouse and the super scope
Your comment gave me an ad when I tried clicking on 2:34, to double check the city skyline. Lol... :) But hey, I do love the '80s and '90s aesthetic of this game. Quite curious if the Valve Steam Deck can emulate this.
Now that's a cool and unusual use for the Super Scope. That police gimmick also happened in the Sega arcade Rad Mobile, an awesome racing game for that time imho
i wonder if you can shoot the police with the super scope lol overall though yeah cool game
Oh man. This game was my childhood. So much frustration, so much fun.
You just unlocked a deep memory of mine with this. Me and a buddy spent like a whole weekend on this many, many years ago. Good times.
I wish we'd had a Super Scope and knew about this. In fact, one day I'm going to have buy one or my life will never be totally complete.
We've got an MST3K fan! Nice Brute Man reference!
Had this on my IBM PC back in the day on dos, it was a fun game and had a very good aesthetics for a dos game, but I am pretty sure the snes was more than just a port and more like a different design , cant really tell since it was a very long time ago, but I remember I liked this game a lot.
Ardy lightfoot is an awesome platformer for SNES that was published by Titus. It was however developed by ASCII
The Dos version came free on a shareware CD I had bitd, under the title "Crazy Cars 3". For whatever reason, commercial games accidentally ended up on those a lot!
Lamborghini American dream looks good for me to play. 😀👍🎮
Hey guys whats a game title on pc came out around same time as this game. I remember playing it cannot remember the title though..
Watching this vid maybe it was called american challenge
"Is Lamborghini American Challenge Worth Playing Today?"
Yes, it is!
Now I can watch the video.
P.S.
We've played the game a lot on friends Amiga 600
Played this on DOS. I had no idea about the Super Scope compatibility.
Is Lamborghini American the name of an anime character from the 90s? All signs point to yes.
I remember completing this game back in the day. This game is mediocre at best.
The lamborghini game where you blow up all of the other cars in 2 player mode sounds like an urban legend.
I remember this from my old SNES magezines. The only thing that jogged my memory was Felicia in the list of racers. Funny how little details stick in your memory for decades.
Can’t blame you, redheads are forever messing up our hearts, right? 🥲
@@altoticket bloody oath. They can be a nasty addiction but how can we resist.
I think you're the only channel TH-cam always let's me know has a new video.
Why don't you race through rings?
My Life In Gaming just talked about this game in their Super Scope compatible games.
The subliminal message to this review is “Titus made a good game?!?!”
anyone seen The Nostalgia Factor anywhere? i desperately need my stats 😢
This is how winners start their day.
This game is by no means good, these sorts of racing games aged like milk, but its such a great culture piece. So much character and style to it, very aesthetic, such a product of its time where people thought this depiction of cars was next level, and literally every person on the planet wanted to drive an italian sports car
Yo, the brute man?! Excellent reference! Rondo the creeper 😆
As a Kid I loved this game, the betting mechanic was pretty original at the time.
Still like this more than Top Gear 🙂
How many times...
First place, last lap...
Have to stop for gas and lose, or run out of gas and lose...
Memories :)
Try "80's Overdrive" on Nintendo 3DS!
Weird..I owned this and never knew it supported those peripherals. Interesting.
Was this game ever featured on Punching Weight? And crazy that this game did already back then what that Starsky &Hutch game did years later.
I don't think so. We must summon uncle derrick
Like the game a lot not the greatest but really good
Waldorf: It's not too bad.
Statler: That's the novelty.
Hahahahaha. =P
Joshing aside, looks okay.
That was one of my favorite games back in the day. I want this game to be your new favorite.
I remember the Amiga version of this being really quite good. It wasn't just on CD32, it had a 3.5" disk edition, too.
Wow, I never heard of this game. It looks fun.
I rewind that intro got to love it..
This reminds me of a game I recently played on the switch: 80s Overdrive
Was gonna say the exact thing. Not sure if the same people were involved, but 80s overdrive looks to be an almost identical game, just updated.
"Hit detection is dodgy."
Titus made "Roadsters Trophy" on N4 and that is REALLY GOOD! But ONLY the N64 version, all ther versios are NOT by Titus and they suck. ROadsters Trophy was a sequel to the N64 Lamborghini version of this SNES game, which was okay-ish. So this, the N64 version of this and then Roadsters shows a curve that actually goes up in terms of quality XD
The game is indeed fun to play. Only problem: Super Scope won't work on modern TVs though.
The simulated gambling segments were also a stand out feature in the game. And I love the music in the game. The MS-DOS version has AWFUL, ear rape music.
I had the Gameboy game, it was alright. I think this led into Automobili Lamborghini, which was an okay N64 racing launch game. Titus is known for being a fairly crap company on the N64, but I think Roadsters was a cool game.
Heck yes more snes reviews from
The goat himself! Keep up the great work snes drunk!!! 🤛
....die you mean goat....or god? ;)
@@MeinenNamenSagIchNicht 🤣🤣
Come for the review. Stay for the obscure references.
WUUUUUT?????
I could have used the super scope in a racer!?!?!?!
Revelations like that right there is why you’re a knowledge warrior SNESdrunk
robocop FPS....what?...that sounds so bad I am intrigued. These character avatars though. Pam looks like a boss I had.
As a kid I liked this game, I knew Titus sucked thanks to magazines like Nintendo Power, but this was not bad.
The game was more than a racing game with all these details mentioned in the video, you had to plan carefully your spending here to upgrade correctly your car, try to avoid damaging it during races... It kept me engaged during months till I beat it and that was hugely rewarding.
Great memories!
Lamborghinis were probably the most popular exotic cars in the 90s. Having this game would’ve been so cool. Wish I would’ve known about it back then, would’ve gotten it instead of Race Drivin’🤦🏻♂️ The backgrounds look cool, well the graphics look great over all. Nice review, thanks 👍
Sssssnesss drunk - If you have not already subscribed to this channel do youself the biggest favour and correct that ASAP. This channel is as the Miz would say AWESOME!!!! HAHA 😄
Whoa... ya got me. Never played or even saw it. I loved Top Gear and this kind of looks like a sequel to that (I mean outside of TG2 and 3000). I'm going to try and find this! Thanks SnesDrunk.
Games like these made me realise:
Many didn't flop because they were _awful_ but because they seemed to be tailored for a different demographic.
Tell me if, with a few tweaks, a game like this wouldn't be succesful with today's 90s gen? (contrary to then's 90s gen)
More than 2 players, stats for the drivers, more items options...
I remember not paying much attention to it back then. Borrowed for a weekend, returned it at Monday's.
Would probably 'feel' more fun now I'm older it's all am saying.
I grew up with this one.
It's very average but very playable.
I actually liked it more than Top Gear.
There's a certain cool factor to the night races as well.
Long before Hot Pursuit, you could temporarily become the police-dodging badass you never knew you wanted to be.
I had this on my computer when I was young, idk how it got on there cause this was before downloading off the internet. It was pretty fun.
I love this style of game, but I've always figured if you're going to play this then you may as well just play Top Gear on SNES or Outrun on Mega Drive and enjoy yourself instead. I had no idea about the two-player super scope thing tho, that's actually pretty impressive.
This game is so European it hurts, and the movement isn't as smooth as I'd expect from a Super NES title. Where's all that Mode 7 razzle-dazzle? Oh well, at least you get to take your road rage out on opponents with that huge honkin' Super NES bazooka.
Just me or does the second portrait at 2:15 kinda look like Zazie from Fighters History Dynamite?
A ninja? LoL looks like a fighting game 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👌
I never played this game.. looks good to me

Forget the Diablo, I’d like to drive the Crown Vic capable of reaching speeds of 250 mph
Thanks for clarifying it's not *THAT* Police. It was the first thing that jumped to mind...
Hi snesdrunk,i noticed you havent reviewed any Formula 1 games on the console.I would like to hear what you think about those games.Nice channel,keep up the good work!
The N64 one certainly isn't. Titus at their most mediocre. You could break the AI by nudging CPU cars off the road and they'd often not recover and get back onto the track.
A racing game where you can shoot at other cars while steering with your feet? How can you NOT want to do this??
(Also," The racing is pretty pedestrian." Really? You went with that gag?)
I like these kinds of racers. Reminds me of a truck racer on Sega. Could upgrade your engine and other performance parts, tires, think you had a few defensive mechanisms. Kinda k me Combat Cars but not so much combat.
The unofficial Lucky & Wild port when played with the super scope (Ok, no really, but interesting piece of trivia)
Please Do 8-bit or 16-Bit puzzle games or both for MSX NES Master System Sega Genisis SNES or all
Had this on the Amiga, never knew it came out on the CD32 as well, back then I thought the graphics looked great especially for an Amiga game, how is this version compared to the Amiga?
The Plumbers don't wear ties AVGN episode is miles better IMHO
Titus knows how to make racing games. Roadsters on the N64 is pretty awesome. It plays well and the graphics look like a PS2 games.
.I appreciate your stuff mate you must feel like you're running out of Super Nintendo stuff but if you changed slightly we would follow you to your next genre.....love your stuff mate
I recently got 80's Overdrive on Steam and its like a direct rip off of this game. You have colored stars on the map that indicate what races you can do. You have cops that block you and try to run you off the road. The graphics are very similar too but maybe a bit better looking. I mean its fun but the "inspiration" is very obvious now that I've seen your review of this game.
When one of my favorite TH-camrs reference another of my favorite TH-camrs is a “small world” moment...
Titus also made one other Lamborghini game on the N64. Automobili Lamborghin a decent racer with a pretty good soundtrack.
umm... no, this is not even in the Top 10 of SNES racing games... and there aren't many good ones, unlike the Genesis which has tons.
This looks pretty much like clon the of Lotus Turbo Challenge and Top Gear, just with less tracks and way worse controls.
"Tight-us"? You mean, TIT-US! Lol. But yeah, most of their games WERE pretty bad and forgettable, but this one actually looks like a surprisingly enjoyable racing game on SNES. I may consider checking it out. Great video!
On the one stage it appears that you’re driving towards like 8 different cities- all on the horizon and all separated by a bit of distance- they’re all around you and you’re always the same distance from all of them- you never reach any one. Maybe you are inside this enormous ring city.
Dang over 230k subscribers! Wow i remember when you were at 19k. Congrats Drunk. 🍻
I’ll be honest I giggled into my coffee at “steered with my feet”. I will be sure to try that myself that’s awesome haha.
I actually never played this game. Pretty cool concept on using The Mouse and the super scope. And it's pretty dope that one person can driving the other ones shoot. It's like that arcade game that agvn played lucky and Wild with Mike
The PC version is way better IMO. It had some great cheesy FMVs that were the reward for me when progressing. Like winning seat warmers for my car!
I know you mentioned top gear at the end but the graphics look very similar to topgear 3000 that I played a fair bit of but with police and accessories support, cool.
Okay, that "hidden gamemode" with the gun is really freaking hilarious!
Hey, how about a video about other games that feature like "unexpected gamemodes"?
"Superman 64 was responsible for my favorite AVGN episode."
Which one? The first or second Superman 64 video?
Good old Pole Position arcade is exactly what the GBA version sounds like. I swear it’s like they copied and pasted the sound from one to the other lol 😆 😂 😝
Please review ghengis Kahn 2 clan of the grey wolf. PLEASE! Why are you ignoring me :
Wow, I had no idea this game was compatible with the Super Scope and mouse. Granted, I would have had no way to make use of that functionality since I never had those accessories but still neat to learn all these years later.
