F-Zero (1991)
One more hiatus week before we return on topic to 2001: A Game Odyssey and this week we much go backwards to go forwards. (Which is also backwards) Matt is on the hunt for a 16-bit racing game that he actually likes and today's choice is Nintendo SNES launch title F-Zero. It's a strange game that hasn't had a new entry in many years and at this point feels like a forgotten relic. What's even more forgotten is how this game felt on SNES since the developers went in a vastly new direction for its 3D sequels. But how does F-Zero fit in with the other racing games of this era?
