Eh, I can't complain. Could be much, much worse.
I'll give 2014 a chance. Maybe this will be the year that Xbox emulation takes off and I can dump this stupid thing for everyone to play.
Oh yeah, War on Wheels. Like Blitzwing, I couldn't figure out how to score points, and I didn't even want to. I do like how the coaches resemble cartoonier versions of the Rollergames cast, right down to the angry grandma.
Of course, the Rollergames characters were based on real people, which I didn't know at the time. I didn't even know there was a Rollergames TV show, and I owned the NES game. |

I heard about the Rollergames TV show before, but I never knew the boss characters were based on real personalities. I always assumed they were just made up for the game, since web searching their names only returned information about the NES game. |

If you need someone to dump the Xbox disk, send me a PM. |

I'm pretty sure it's more like "DreamTR allowed someone to pay him to release this." Not judging, just sayin'. |

That sprite looks like a cross between Larry King and Granbo from Phallus in Wonderland (GWAR "film" that accompanied America Must Be Destroyed). |
