Checkered Flag
SCORE: 79
I am very thankful I had the money to
purchase the Evercade Lynx Cartridge 2 since it contained Checkered
Flag. This hand held racing game has some things going for it and some
things are going against it. First and foremost Checkered Flag looks
pretty good for a retro hand held video game. The race cars, tracks and
various objects make this feel like a racing game. Checkered Flag
reminds me of older racing titles where we see the car and the track. In
essence the car does not move but the track does.
The issues I had with Checkered Flag are the difficulty, lack of attire,
enticement to lust, and mild violence. We can crash into a plethora of
objects within Checkered Flag. Thankfully there are no explosions when
we run into rocks, trees, signs and other objects in Checkered Flag.
Instead this hand held video game just stops the car. Once you get
stopped once you can forget about catching up to the computer.
There are eighteen tracks in Checkered Flag which is pretty good for a
hand held video game from that era. I know some modern racing games that
do not have that many different tracks. Checkered Flag has great
graphics and wonderful sounds. I absolutely adore the car and track
sounds within Checkered Flag. I am not so big on crashing into objects
and losing the race.
The tracks in Checkered Flag have plenty of twists and turns. Some
tracks in Checkered Flag are harder than others. Checkered Flag includes
a decent amount of options for a retro hand held video game. I had fun
racing around the tracks in Checkered Flag. Being able to win without
racing perfect would have been nice. Players can pick how many cars they
race against. Family members can also practice Checkered Flag if they so
choose.
The Evercade is the real winner here because without it I would not be
playing Checkered Flag from the Atari Lynx. I am very pleased I was able
to play this game and record it. Hopefully you caught the Twitch Live
stream I did of Checkered Flag. If you missed it then you can find a
video of Checkered Flag in our video section. We will be uploading this
video to our video sites Lord willing.
