UCHUU RACE: ASTRO GO! GO!

This Japan-exclusive SNES game has a lot of appealing points, particularly when it comes to the visuals. It’s incredibly stylish, from the cartoonish box art and character portraits, to the in-game track graphics, and the use of Mode 7 to represent those tracks ties the game very specifically to the early Nineties. Despite the fact that it’s an accessible import game, and the planned US release Freeway Flyboys was cancelled, it’s also not an amazingly expensive game. While boxed prices can climb a good way above the bottom end we’ve quoted, based on condition, if you’re willing to tolerate a loose cart you can get it for well under £5.
