A refreshing antidote to last week's very terrible racing game! This one is, instead, very good.

Sorry about the muffled audio on this one. I've been experimenting with a different recording setup, and the audio conversion needs some fine-tuning. Sorry, Roadster.

Roadster retrospective: From Game Boy to turbo teen | Game Boy Works #104

Who says Game Boy racing games have to be awful? Not TOSE and Tonkin House, who evidently took the likes of Monster Truck as a challenge. Roadster is everything previous Game Boy racers weren't: Fun, a joy to control, fairly balanced, thoughtfully designed. Will wonders never cease?

One touch I like is that the font they used in the on-screen displays in this game isn't just a generic-looking computery Game Boy font, like you see in so many other games. It's actually appropriate to the genre and has a bit of character, while remaining readable at tiny Game Boy pixel sizes.

Yay! I loved Radar Mission, back in the day! I'm afraid to go back and play it now, but for what it was at the time, I certainly had fun with it.
