-# Game Description
-
-[Neon Drive](https://store.steampowered.com/app/433910/Neon_Drive/)
-presents itself as a simple arcade-style game inspired by the arcade
-race games of the 1980s, yet it has managed to take up hours of my life
-without much effort. The game description, directly from the Steam page,
-is intriguing enough to entice anyone who's been looking for a good
-arcade racing game:
-
-> Neon Drive is a slick retro-futuristic arcade game that will make your
-> brain melt. You've been warned. From beautiful cityscapes and ocean
-> roads to exploding enemy spaceships, Neon Drive has it all.
-
-# Gameplay
-
-The game holds true to the
-[retro-futurism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrofuturism) style,
-including chrome female robots, pixelated arcade machines, and
-[outrun](https://teddit.net/r/outrun/) aesthetics.
-
-Each level of the game is shown as a separate arcade machine. Each
-arcade machine lets you play on Normal, Hard, Insane, Practice, and Free
-Run. To beat each arcade, you must reach the end of the level without
-crashing your car into the various obstacles on the course. Basic levels
-let you move left or right to avoid blocks in the road. Later levels put
-you through other tests, such as dodging traffic or blasting asteroids.
-
-The game uses synthwave music to keep you on track to make the correct
-moves by timing the beats of the songs to the correct moves on the
-screen. It reminds me of the early Guitar Hero games, as well as mobile
-apps like VOEZ - repetition and staying on-beat is the only way to win.
-
-# In-Game Screenshots
-
-Taking a look at the main menu, you can see that Neon Drive plays into
-every stereotype you can think of around retro-futuristic, synthwave
-arcades (in a good way).

-
-Once you get into the first level, we see that the choice of car fits
-right in with the stereotypical cars of the 80s, like the
-[DeLorean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMC_DeLorean) or the [Ferrari
-F40](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_F40). Each new level comes
-with new color schemes and cars, so you should never get tired of the
-aesthetic.

-Personally, I love the orange and blue colors used in level 2:

-
-If you're the competitive type and getting 100% on all arcade machines
-isn't enough, there are leaderboards for the regular part of the game,
-and the endurance game mode.

-# Other Suggestions
-
-Neon Drive sits nicely within the well-founded cult genre of Outrun.
-Other games that I've enjoyed in this same spectrum are:
-
--   [Far Cry 3: Blood
-    Dragon](https://store.steampowered.com/app/233270/Far_Cry_3__Blood_Dragon/)
--   [Retrowave](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1239690/Retrowave/)
--   [Slipstream](https://store.steampowered.com/app/732810/Slipstream/)
-
-Although these games aren't necessarily in the same genre, they do have
-aspects that place them close enough to interest gamers that enjoyed
-Neon Drive:
-
--   [Black Ice](https://store.steampowered.com/app/311800/Black_Ice/)
--   [Cloudpunk](https://store.steampowered.com/app/746850/Cloudpunk/)
--   [Need for Speed:
-    Heat](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1222680/Need_for_Speed_Heat/)
--   [VirtuaVerse](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1019310/VirtuaVerse/)
-
-Of course, if all you really care about is the arcade aspect of these
-games, you can check out the [Atari
-Vault](https://store.steampowered.com/app/400020/Atari_Vault/) or any of
-the other classic games sold on Steam by companies like Namco, Atari.
-For something like Nintendo, you'd have to settle for buying used
-classic consoles or delve into the world of emulation.
