Alex DeMeo's Race America is a racing game that was released in Europe as Corvette ZR-1 Challenge (1990).
+ Rolling hills are impressive for an 8-bit game and the effect looks fairly comparable to Road Rash (1991, Sega Genesis).
+ Brief overhead view when you overtake a rival looks fantastic and the music does an amazing job of heightening the intensity.
+ Seeing the city skyline appear in the distance near the end of a race is a neat incentive to put pedal to the metal.
- When in second place, your view moves to a smaller window with a lower FPS and it's harder to spot upcoming vehicles.
- There isn't a great sense of speed (even when in sixth gear) and your car veers from side-to-side like it's sliding on ice.
- On course 6, some pedestrian vehicles blend into the background and it's hard to decipher their chosen lane on bends.
