Super Off Road went down a storm with C&VG back in October and now we've managed to get our grubby mitts on the NES version and we're quite impressed! The aim is simply to take your 4x4 Off-Road truck for a spin around eight different torturous tracks with the express purpose of beating the opposition and winning lots of lovely prize lolly.

After each rave it's off to the "Ironman" Speed Shop to spend all that new-found dough on jazzing up your truck.

If you're lucky enough to have a control splitter (the NES Satellite is available on import), up to *four* players can race simultaneously, and have a damn good time doing it. The problem is that quite a lot of the animation on the trucks has been sacrificed and the trucks don't quite handle as well as they might. Also, the nitros seem a bit weedy compared to the coin-op. Still, there's a decided lack of quality Super Sprint racers on the Nintendo and Super Off-Road fits the bill quite nicely.

Pretty decent radar marred only by slightly strange gameplay. Check it out nevertheless.
