Cruis’n Blast review: ’90s arcade racing, supercharged for the modern era - Ars Technica
September 14, 2021 - As a painstakingly authentic refresh of the dated Cruis’n arcade-racing series, it’s a simple game, and in many ways, it lags behind other arcade racers that have come and gone in the past few years. Still, if you’re looking for sheer, unadulterated, all-ages racing fun, especially on the underpowered Nintendo Switch, you should set your GPS coordinates to the bonkers racetracks and Burnout-leaning smashy-smash of Cruis’n Blast as soon as possible. Cruis’n emerged in the ’90s as one of the only major Western racing series in arcades, years after Sega and Namco unleashed their own dazzling 3D racers.

October 17, 2022 - The fact is that this one was everywhere in the early 90s and, while better looking games would come along during its lifetime, Cruis’n USA demonstrated some serious staying power that lasted right into the new millennium. It launched a successful series of games and, while the home console version really fell short of what had come before, Cruis’n USA dominated the arcade racer scene for years, taking everything we loved about the genre and dialing it up to 11 in its own unique way!

r/tipofmyjoystick on Reddit: [Arcade][90's] top down racing game
March 23, 2018 -

I cant remember the name of an old top down racing game, with single screen (like "Super Sprint"), for the Arcade, it had a sort of "Anime Style" opening, with the main "Anime Dude", watching the racing from a rocky cliff / mountain. Probably it had futurisic cars, Probably it had isometric view, but I'm not sure about it. It was from late 80's early 90's I think! Please help!
