Corvette ZR-1 Challenge is one of those NES racers that feels a little rough around the edges but has its own weird charm. You’re basically just racing a Corvette against the clock on these twisty tracks, trying to shave seconds off your time. The handling’s kind of slippery—like you’re constantly fighting the car—but once you get the hang of it, nailing a tight corner without spinning out feels weirdly satisfying.

The graphics are what you’d expect from a 1990 NES game: blocky roadside scenery, a dashboard that looks like it was drawn in MS Paint, and a rearview mirror that’s basically useless. Still, there’s something oddly hypnotic about the way the road scrolls toward you, especially on the night tracks where the headlights barely cut through the darkness. It’s not a deep racer, but if you’re into old-school time trials, it’s a decent way to kill an afternoon.
