Is that a car in your pocket?

Pocket Racing

Pocket Racing is what it says on the tin. Racing that fits in your pocket! Can't complain! Although the graphics are not the prettiest thing around, the challenge of the race more than compensates as there are many tracks to battle through and there are plenty of add-ons to build onto your vehicle!

Like most rear-viewed racing games for the Game Boy Color, the action is rather uninspired and the scenery is as dull as coal. Still, the race itself does offer some challenge and getting to the front the pack is not the walk in the park it may first seem. There are options galore and this cart will definitely keep you occupied for as long as you are willing to stick with it.
