NASCAR Challenge is a 1999 video game for the Game Boy Color, developed by Morning Star Multimedia and published by Hasbro Interactive. The game is a NASCAR-licensed racing video game featuring three tracks from the NASCAR circuit. Upon release, the game received negative reviews, with publications criticizing the game's limited tracks, features, and poor attention to detail.
NASCAR Challenge is an arcade racing game with two modes. In 'Practice Mode', players can select one of three tracks, the Topeka Raceway, Sonoma Raceway, and Seneca Raceway, and choose to race one to six laps in automatic and manual transmission. In 'Race Mode', players complete a qualifying run and complete races against nine opponents, with a display depicting a speedometer, clock, lap counter, race position, gear and tire gauge. Players are required to complete a pit stop to replace their tyres to avoid reduced speed and handling. The game's cartridge features a built-in Rumble Pak that vibrates when the player crashes. Players can also use a local Game Link Cable to complete races with another player.[1]
Development
Hasbro Interactive announced the release of a licensed NASCAR game for the Game Boy Color in August 1999, with six tracks planned for the game, eventually limited to three upon release.[2]
