NASCAR Challenge is a 1999 racing game for the Game Boy Color, developed by Morning Star Multimedia. Unusually for a NASCAR title, it focuses exclusively on road courses rather than traditional oval tracks, featuring three circuits: Topeka, Sonoma, and Seneca. The game offers both Practice and Race modes, where you can qualify and compete against a field of nine opponents.
How to Play
In the browser, use the Arrow Keys to steer your stock car. Press Z to accelerate and X to brake. The game supports both automatic and manual transmissions, and you will need to manage pit stops during races to change worn tires. Since it is based on the Game Boy Color, the standard Start and Select buttons map to Enter and Shift respectively.
Tips
- Watch your tires: The game includes a tire wear mechanic. Ignoring pit stops when your tires degrade will severely affect your handling.
- Master the road courses: Since the game lacks oval tracks, you will need to rely heavily on braking and cornering techniques rather than just holding down the accelerator.
