One thing the NES one does right is the speed range allowing you to zoom past enemies, and it lets enemies get exploded by the chopper’s dynamite. I can’t tell yet if it lets you knock the spikes off the cars yet. If it does that, I’ll be impressed.

Yeah, a ton of other Atari games have arcade analogs too, like there was a game basically like Activision’s Dragster in the arcades.

Yes. I used to have a CIB MUSHA, North America edition. Got it for five dollars. Sold it for 40. It’s now several hundred.

I think it’s about walking into a restroom after someone just blew it up

If there had been more strategy involved I think it could’ve been an all time great.
