Star Wars Episode 1 Racer

Star Wars Episode 1 Racer features a variety of tracks spanning several different planets. The player character’s podracer is equipped with an afterburner that the player can engage for a boost of speed. Whilst engaged, the engine’s temperature will rise and if pushed for too long, shall suffer an engine-fire and explode, destroying the podracer and costing the player several seconds to respawn and continue racing. The Game Boy Color release features entirely different game play from its console and PC counterparts. The Game Boy Color hardware is technically incapable of rendering the 3D graphics used in the other versions, so the game instead features one-on-one racing duels on abbreviated, linear tracks using an overhead 2D view. The Game Boy Color version of the game has an additional “rumble” feature.
