Personal review

"R.C. Pro-Am" is a popular early NES racing game featuring remote controlled cars (although you might wonder why they drive easily over 100MPH). The controls work well and the racing is reasonably fun. There are some upgrade methods for your car which is also nice. Despite the good features the game felt a bit bland to me. There are a couple of tracks but they are graphically not very appealing and somehow all too similar. There is also no league mode or something like that. As long as you don't finish last in a race you continue to the next race endlessly with tracks repeating themselves after some time obviously.

Editor note

Some US packages have the UPC as 0-45496-63039-0. This is an invalid UPC code and a typo. The correct IPC, 0-45496-63039-3, is on other US packages.

Announced as Pro-Am Racing, but the name was later changed.
