R.C. Pro-Am (PlayChoice-10)

R.C. Pro-Am is a two-player racing game released in 1987 by Rare and distributed via the Nintendo PlayChoice-10 arcade system. Players control radio-controlled cars competing on various tracks, maneuvering with an eight-way joystick to navigate turns and avoid obstacles. The gameplay emphasizes precision driving as you race against your opponent toward the finish line. This PlayChoice-10 version leverages unique hardware for its presentation, utilizing a Zilog Z80 processor alongside other chips to manage graphics and sound. While this arcade release offers a similar experience to the more well-known NES version of the game, it represents an interesting chapter in arcade gaming history with its unusual distribution method. The controls are straightforward: two buttons likely serve functions related to steering or speed adjustments while racing against another player.
