Until now, Spica Adventure was a 2005 Japan-only, arcade-exclusive game that has never seen…
Lately, the sheer number of retro racers that have been dropped on the digital video game outlets has been a bit overwhelming. Not too long ago, we reviewed Classic Racer Elite and Sunrise GP. However, our site wasn’t established yet when Formula Retro Racing, 80’s Overdrive, and Slipstream (although you can check out my EuroRetroGamer’s video review) were released.
