Is it still worth playing?

A racing game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, released in North America in February 1988, in which you steer a radio controlled car around a series of tracks from an overhead isometric view. Four racers start each race, and only the top three qualify for the next track, so falling to fourth ends the game. Weapons and power ups change the order. Missiles and bombs temporarily disable opponents, collectible power ups improve the car, and rain puddles and oil slicks get in the way. There are 32 tracks, each giving a trophy, with high scores earning larger ones up to the Super Trophy, and two continues restart the previous race at the cost of all points. Toy car races, with missiles to settle the order, still make a lively few minutes today.
