Play Big Run - The Supreme 4WD Challenge (Japan) Online

Big Run is one of those old-school arcade racers that somehow feels both janky and weirdly satisfying. You're basically thrown into a stripped-down Dakar Rally—no fancy menus, just pick your truck and go. The handling's kinda heavy, like you're wrestling a drunk elephant through the desert, but once you get the hang of drifting around those tight corners, it clicks.

What’s cool is how punishing it is—mess up a jump and your suspension takes damage, or worse, you flip and lose precious seconds. The pixelated dunes and sunset backdrops have that classic early '90s charm, even if the graphics are rough by today’s standards. It’s definitely more of a "try to beat your own time" kind of game than something you’d play for hours, but there’s something addictive about shaving seconds off your runs.

Also, the SNES port somehow makes the engine noise sound like a blender full of rocks, which is… a choice. Still, if you’re into retro racers with teeth, this one’s worth a spin.
