What players say
This racing game is the very definition of the old school arcade racing genre. The graphics still do hold up to this day and can be run on about any GPU nowadays, and the gameplay mechanics are wonderful, something that you don't see these days around. RC naturally stands for remote control, which the screenshots show up quite well. Boost does regenerate over time as from the old Need for Speed titles, and it's all...
