Introduction and Story:

Although the Turbografx-16 didn't have a lot of third party companies behind it, they still had one of the biggest names out there in my opinion. Namco is world famous for creating a bunch massive arcade hits like Pac Man, Pole Position, and Galaga. In fact they still love to whore off many of these titles today to several Museum collections and you can even see crap on there like Xevious too. Anyway my point is it would have been easy for Namco just to port over a few of their arcade hits and then just count the easy loot (like with the awesome Galaga 90 and the lamea$$ Pac Land) but they still made some original ideas too like in this cool Final Lap Twin game here. After the original success of Pole Position in the early 1980's, Namco was popping out driving games like crazy and one of the spin offs out there is a arcade game called Final Lap. The cool thing about this driving game is that some editions could be linked up for multi-player options. This Turbografx-16 exclusive that got this horrible new name not only includes split screen action much like Super Mario Kart (although this was first) so you can easily play with a friend, but the game also has this very interesting role playing mode where you're a young kid trying to win a world championship. Yup, this could very well be the first ever Driving/RPG ever made!
