Man, Michael Andretti's Indy Car Challenge on SNES is one of those racers that actually makes you lean into turns like you're really in the cockpit. The first thing you notice is how heavy the cars feel—not in a bad way, but like you're wrestling with real weight when you take corners too fast at Indianapolis.

The tracks are surprisingly detailed for a 16-bit racer, with grandstands full of tiny spectators and those iconic IndyCar fences whipping by. I remember crashing hard into the wall on my first lap at Michigan because I underestimated how much you gotta brake before the curve. The AI drivers don't mess around either—they'll squeeze you into the wall if you leave an opening.

What's cool is how the game gives you options: full championship seasons, quick races, even a two-player split-screen that turns into pure chaos when you start bump-drafting. Just don't expect modern sim-level handling—this is that perfect early '90s balance between arcade speed and just enough realism to make victories feel earned. That final lap at Phoenix with worn tires and Andretti breathing down your neck? Yeah, that's the good stuff.
