Bill Elliott's NASCAR on Game Boy is one of those old-school racers that somehow makes pixelated left turns feel intense. You start off picking your car—nothing fancy, just straight into the action—and suddenly you're weaving through traffic at what feels like a million miles per hour (even if the framerate disagrees). The tracks are tight, the AI drivers love nudging you into walls, and that "retro charm" mostly means you'll be restarting a lot.

It's got that classic NASCAR vibe though—no fancy upgrades or career mode, just you, a grid full of aggressive opponents, and the constant fear of spinning out on the final lap. The controls take some getting used to (good luck nailing those hairpins), but once it clicks, there's something satisfying about scraping past the finish line by half a bumper. Just don't expect modern comforts like, y'know, forgiving physics.

If you miss the days when racing games were more about white-knuckle survival than realism, this one's a time capsule worth dusting off.
