RC Pro-Am II (USA)

In RC Pro-Am II, players dive into the vibrant world of remote-control car racing. As the sequel to the popular top-down racing game on the NES, it brings numerous improvements and new challenges.

The core gameplay mechanism remains top-down racing, where you control your RC car across a variety of diverse tracks. The primary goal is to finish in the lead position to earn money and progress to subsequent tournaments. On the track, players will collect letter icons to gather weapons and power-ups. These items include missiles to shoot down opponents, bombs to create obstacles behind you, speed-boosting Turbo, and even temporary invincibility.

A distinctive feature of RC Pro-Am II is its detailed car upgrade system. After each race, the money earned can be used to purchase new parts for your car such as a more powerful engine, better tires for various terrains (dirt, ice, water), protective armor, and improved weapons. Strategic upgrading is key to overcoming increasingly tough opponents.

The game features various terrain types, from regular dirt tracks to slippery ice courses and even underwater sections, requiring players to adapt their strategy and upgrades accordingly. In addition to the single-player tournament mode, RC Pro-Am II also supports a two-player mode, allowing you to race head-to-head or even battle in small arenas, adding to the competitiveness and fun. With improved graphics, deeper gameplay, and engaging upgrade features, RC Pro-Am II truly stands as one of the most memorable racing titles on the NES.
