Corvette ZR-1 Challenge is an arcade-style racing game developed by Imagineering and released for the NES in Europe in 1990. Known in North America as Race America, this version holds the official Chevrolet license, putting players behind the wheel of the titular Corvette ZR-1. The game features a unique visual approach to its cross-country races: each leg begins as a side-scrolling drag race before seamlessly transitioning to a traditional behind-the-car perspective. You can compete against AI drivers or race head-to-head in two-player split-screen mode.
How to Play
Your objective is to beat your opponent across various legs of a race across the United States. Use the Arrow keys (D-pad) to steer and shift gears, Z and X (A/B buttons) to accelerate and brake, and Enter for Start.
Tips
- Nail the launch: The side-scrolling drag race segment at the start of each leg is crucial. Pay close attention to your RPM and shift gears at the right moment to build an early lead.
- Anticipate traffic: Once the perspective shifts behind the car, dodging oncoming traffic and roadside obstacles becomes your main challenge. Try to keep your steering movements smooth to maintain top speed.
