Man, Suzuki Alstare Extreme on Game Boy Color is one of those racing games that somehow makes tiny pixel bikes feel fast as hell. You’ve got these tight, twisty tracks where leaning into turns at the last second actually matters—mess up and you’ll eat gravel while the AI bikes zoom past. The colors pop way more than you’d expect for a GBC racer, and there’s something weirdly satisfying about the way your bike fishtails if you gun it too hard out of a corner.

It’s not just straight-line speed either—you’ve gotta learn each track’s quirks, like that one downhill section where braking early is a death sentence. The AI isn’t pushover-level easy, either; they’ll actually block you if you try to pass on the inside. Definitely a hidden gem if you’re into old-school racers that reward muscle memory over flashy graphics.
