Death Race on NES - Horror Retrogaming - Nintendo Gameplay and Commentary
11Death Race is an unlicensed game that was released in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Its very loosely based on one of my favorite exploitation films of the 1970's, Death Race 2000. The game plays like a sloppy precursor to the original Grand Theft Auto, with overhead controls and slippery driving mechanics that made me drive through the grass for the duration of the video. Make no mistake, this game has extremely low quality. Because of that, and more so because the game is aggressively ultraviolent with a focus on running over civilians, the game was unable to attain Ninendo's Seal of Quality. Trust me, it in no way deserves it.
Every Thursday, I put out a video in my Horror Retrogaming Series. In this series, I'm trying to illustrate how horror has been presented in gaming these past few decades. I will trace this evolution by playing adaptations of horror movies and books, early survival horror games, and any old school game that tried its hardest to actually be scary. I'm a huge horror fan, and this series is the flagship of my channel.
This game was captured from my live Twitch stream.
