Rad Racer II is a two-player racing game released in 1990 by Square under license from Nintendo of America and distributed through the PlayChoice-10 arcade system. Players assume control of vehicles in a chase view perspective, navigating courses against opponents. The gameplay involves steering, accelerating, and reacting to track conditions while competing for position. This version utilizes unique hardware within the PlayChoice-10 cartridge, featuring a Zilog Z80 processor alongside an N2A03 chip for both processing and sound. Controls consist of an eight-way joystick and two buttons, allowing for precise maneuvering during races. For those familiar with the original NES title, Rad Racer II offers a similar racing experience adapted for arcade play on the PlayChoice-10 platform.
