Play Al Unser Jr.'s Road to the Top Online
You start with go-karts, then snowmobiles, then Indy cars—each handles totally differently, and that final race against Al Jr. will wreck you until you nail the braking.
Al Unser Jr.'s Road to the Top is one of those SNES racing games that starts deceptively simple—you're just messing around in go-karts at first—but before long, you're white-knuckling it through snowmobile races and proper Indy cars. The progression feels satisfying, like you're actually working your way up the ranks.
What I like is how each vehicle type handles completely differently. The karts are twitchy, snowmobiles slide all over the place, and the Indy cars? Good luck not spinning out on tight turns if you don't brake early. The final showdown against Al Unser Jr. in Vancouver is brutal, but beating him after struggling through the earlier races feels like a real accomplishment.
Practice mode is handy for learning the tracks, though it's weird they lock the final race—guess they want to keep some surprises. If you're into '90s racing games with actual personality, this one's worth a spin.
