The Story Behind Battle Cars
Battle Cars is a 1993 racing video game developed by Malibu Interactive and published by Namco Hometek for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is a futuristic racing game in which cars are equipped with multiple weapons which are used to eliminate opponents.
How Battle Cars Plays
The main game features nine levels, each with two race tracks; one cross-country and one circuit. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which the sport of choice is a violent auto race called "Battle Cars." The player can select from three vehicles at the start of the game in a variety of colors, to be played for the duration of the game. The game features three weapons: Missiles (which home in on another racer once shot), Disks (which fire straight in front of your car and bounce around the race track until they hit another racer) and Grenades (which are thrown ahead of other racers and explode on contact).
These can be upgraded up to five levels, each increasing in speed and accuracy. The choices are a spiked vehicle, a hot rod, and a formula one-style race car. Each category may be upgraded to level eight.
