Flashback: Uniracers lets you be a racing rockstar

[ice445]

It's a neat game, but top three? Come on now.

To me the above sounds slightly condescending, its funny that you start about opinions later

I happen to love uniracers, especially as a multiplayer game. No top three for me, but i agree with Norris that top lists are usually pretty... well, useless anyway. Im pretty sure i could make a completely different top snes gameslist every day of the week.

Nah it wasn't intended to be condescending. Just a clash of opinion. But I also agree, top lists are stupid considering everyone has different genre and general game preferences.

This time on Flashback I cover one of the best titles on the Super Nintendo, DMA Designs' Uniracers, which may very well the best 2D racer of all time and one of the three games I would buy a SNES for.

Share your thoughts! This is a really great game
PD: Pixar sucks!

Alright, General, I have no clue why your post stuck in my head, but when I saw Uniracers in a shop this week, I picked it up. I've never played it, read very little about it, and will hopefully give it a whirl this week. Be back later!

Wow. So I can finally twist with some competence after spending about 30 minutes on the game last night. I even actually won a race (on a straightaway) after maybe 12 tries!
I can see how this is a precursor to the Tony Hawk type of X-games. Who knew it would be heralded by riderless unicycles?
The best part for me was the player selection screen.
Of course I bought a pre-owned copy, so the existing names made me smile.

Other people's profile names and game saves are the hidden bonus to memory cards and games with battery saves. I love it.
I hope to figure out how to do more tricks as I play it more. Maybe I can even talk one of my kids into playing the game with me.
