"BC Racers - it's pre-hysterical"

"Cool n' crazy Cliff Ace is gettin' in some quality time with his cave-babe Roxy as they speed n' smash their way on a dino-powered dirtbike through 32 howlin' heats in a madcap, 3D, cartoon race against a hardrock host of rocky racers!  2-player co-operative."

Mario Kart style racing featuring characters from the Chuck Rock series.  Whilst it doesn't have that something that makes Mario Kart so special, this is a very solid and enjoyable game.  The sound effects are a little rough, but the graphics are sharp and fluid.  An excellent cartoon-style intro opens the game, and the four selectable difficulties include different tracks (8 each for 4 difficulties) rather than just increasing your opponent's abilities.  There are no pick-ups or speed boost pads, just standard attacks to the left and right, with a turbo granted after each lap completed.  Only a tournament mode is available - there are no time trial or challenge levels that would have added a little life to the game, and the 2-player mode is co-operative only - but this title is excellent whilst it lasts.  This game supports the 6-button pad, but is perfectly playable with a standard pad.
 
Two demos were released - a green CD featuring an ice track from issue 41 of Sega Pro CD and a yellow CD featuring a desert track.
