San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing is a high-speed arcade racer brought to the Nintendo 64 by Midway in 1997. Famous for its exaggerated physics and massive, gravity-defying jumps, the game turns the steep hills and tight corners of San Francisco into a chaotic racing playground. Players can stick to the main track for intense competition or go off the beaten path to find numerous hidden shortcuts.
How to play
The objective is to outrun the competition across complex city tracks while surviving spectacular crashes. The game uses standard Nintendo 64 controls: the analog stick or D-pad steers, A accelerates, and B brakes or reverses. In the browser, these are typically mapped to your keyboard (arrow keys for movement, with action buttons clustered around Z, X, A, and S) or a connected controller.
Tips
- Explore the tracks carefully to find hidden keys tucked away in shortcuts or on high ledges; collecting them unlocks secret vehicles.
- When launching off massive jumps, adjust your car’s pitch in mid-air to ensure you land flat on all four tires and avoid exploding.
