    Overview

    Rad Racer is an arcade-style racing game released for the Famicom and localized for the NES. In Japan, it is known as Highway Star, named for the Deep Purple song.

    The game was one of the few Square developed games to be released in the United States before Final Fantasy. It is notable for being one of the first NES games to make use of a pseudo 3D perspective.
