I'm pretty close to beating that. The final few races are really difficult and make 'Rad Racer' look like a Sunday afternoon drive. Without any save states, I hit it big at the slot machines in Vegas and I now have more money than Wayne Newton, but I can't buy anything until I win the race I'm currently on. I put it aside for a while, but I should really finish it off. Have you considered designing any cheevos for this?

Been maybe 12, I bought an unknown GameBoy game in a budget sale, with strange box art.
I hadn't a clue about the story or the gameplay, but it was cheap.The game was called "Mercenary Force", and it was actually one of the most detailed and innovative shoot'em up on the GB.

I like it how you shoot or even ram the cages and the prisoners jump out of them apparently unharmed. :D

NES - Panic Restaurant
One of those games late in the NES's life after the SNES was released, so it's a given it's going to be obscure. I mostly remember it because of the "scary" art on the cartridge, the art style of the graphics, and the solid basic gameplay that was perfect for 3-4 year old me. Don't think I ever got to the end until years later playing it in an emulator.... I should give it another go one of these days.

Mania Challenge - pretty decent wrestling game but a great 2-player title. Mat Mania was good but Mania Challenge also added reversals which made it even better.

Mine has to be Genesis "Target Earth" I like the mechs and the whole war feel. Also I am a HUGE fan of "Herzog Zwei" for Genesis. That was AirMech before they took it's exact game play.
