Classic Road II is one of those obscure SNES racers that never made it outside Japan, which is a shame because it’s got this weirdly satisfying arcade feel. You’re basically weaving through traffic at ridiculous speeds, dodging trucks and swerving around slow cars—it’s simple, but the controls are tight, and the pixel art has that early '90s charm.

First few minutes in, you realize it’s not just about speed; timing your boosts and knowing when to switch lanes matters way more than you’d think. The soundtrack’s got this synth-heavy vibe that somehow makes crashing into a semi-truck feel less frustrating. If you’re into retro racers that don’t overcomplicate things, this one’s a solid hidden gem.
