Lethal Crash Race (Arcade) Playthrough
3Playthrough of Video System's 1993 racing game for the Arcades, Lethal Crash Race.
Lethal Crash Race is a one-on-one combat racing arcade game in which players choose from eight international characters, each with a distinct vehicle. Races take place across various global locations, with each track representing a different part of the world. The core gameplay involves either reaching the finish line first or reducing the opponent's speed through vehicle collisions and environmental damage.
After defeating the other seven racers, the player faces a recolored version of their own character as a final opponent. The variety of environments—ranging from city streets to expressways—contributes to the visual diversity of the game, while the use of ten vehicle types allows for some mechanical variation.
According to promotional materials, the game features fast scrolling and encourages players to "destroy everything that gets in your way." It blends traditional racing elements with a combat system that requires players to balance offensive maneuvers with speed.
Lethal Crash Race also introduced the characters Ellen and Cincia, who would later appear in the Sonic Wings series. This connection links the game to a broader character universe in arcade gaming, offering additional context for fans of that franchise.
