YOLO #7: F-Zero (SNES)
My name is Cyril Lachel and you're watching YOLO, the only show that's guaranteed to end in heartbreak. I'm taking the challenge to play every game with a You Only Live Once attitude. In this case, literally. I'll play exactly one life of every game, seeing just how far I can make it in a single turn.
Friday marked the Super Nintendo's 22nd birthday, so I thought it would be fun to look at one of my favorite launch games -- F-Zero. Released at the same time as Final Fight, Super Mario World and SimCity, F-Zero is the definitive showpiece game for Nintendo's 16-bitter. It has an exhilarating sense of speed and the Mode 7 scaling and rotation couldn't be matched at the time. Let's see how far I can get in one single life.
