Videocart-9: Drag Strip
Description official descriptions
This drag racing simulator makes use of the Channel F's special controllers. While twisting the joystick's head to the left or right controls the engine throttle, the stick movement itself is used to shift gears in a realistic H-pattern.
Depending on the chosen skill level, the car available is a family sedan, a modified sedan, a funny car, or a real dragster, although they all look the same on screen. One player can try to beat the predefined par time of 7.7 seconds, or compete against a friend to see who reaches the finish line first. The game manual mentions that a player only wins the game when he brings his victory counter to 99.

The Good
The graphics look nice and the sound is fitting, the gameplay takes a little bit to get your head around, but once you do it's quite a challenge. It's good for a bit of a blast of challenge, on your own or with a friend.
The Bad
But each challenge only lasts about 11 seconds. So the games are very short. Could have done with a second game to fill it out.
The Bottom Line
Full challenge but quite short and simple.
