Battle Cars on SNES is basically what happens if someone took a rusty old demolition derby, strapped rocket launchers to the hood, and called it a racing game. You pick from these weirdly bulky cars—some look like armored taxis, others like mutant dune buggies—and then it’s just pure chaos from there.

The first race feels like someone threw you into a blender with oil slicks, homing missiles, and way too much pixelated fire. The controls take a second to click (that drift button is your best friend), but once you get the hang of swerving around landmines while lobbing grenades at the guy in first place, it’s stupidly fun. The tracks are all these jagged wastelands with shortcuts that either save you three seconds or send you flipping into a pit—no in-between.

It’s janky in that classic ‘90s way, but that’s part of the charm. You’ll lose races because your car randomly bounces off a wall like a pinball, but then you’ll win the next one by dropping a smoke screen right before the finish line. Not the deepest racer, but perfect for when you just want to blow stuff up with a friend on a lazy afternoon.
