Ippatsu Gyakuten is one of those weird, late-era SNES horse racing games that feels like it was made for hardcore gamblers who also happen to love pixelated stallions. You pick your horse, place bets, and watch the race unfold with this oddly intense zoomed-in camera that makes every race feel way more dramatic than it should. The controls are simple—mostly just mashing buttons to boost your horse’s stamina at the right moments—but there’s something weirdly satisfying about nudging your underdog into first place.

It’s got that classic 90s Japanese game quirkiness too, like horses with ridiculous names and stats that don’t always make sense. Not exactly a deep sim, but if you’ve ever wanted to yell at a tiny pixel horse to run faster, this might be your jam.
