-#+title: Neon Drive: A Nostalgic 80s Arcade Racing Game
-#+date: 2020-12-28
-#+description: A video game review for Neon Drive.

-* Game Description
-[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/433910/Neon_Drive/][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:
-
-#+begin_quote
-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.
-#+end_quote
-
-* Gameplay
-The game holds true to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrofuturism][retro-futurism]] style, including chrome female robots,
-pixelated arcade machines, and [[https://teddit.net/r/outrun/][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 [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMC_DeLorean][DeLorean]] or the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_F40][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:
-
-- [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/233270/Far_Cry_3__Blood_Dragon/][Far
-  Cry 3: Blood Dragon]]
-- [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1239690/Retrowave/][Retrowave]]
-- [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/732810/Slipstream/][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:

-Of course, if all you really care about is the arcade aspect of these games, you
-can check out the [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/400020/Atari_Vault/][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.
