Play Zippy Race (Japan) Online
Dodge reckless traffic on a coast-to-coast road trip in this NES racer—cars swerve unpredictably, and one crash sends you back to the beginning. That choppy scrolling and punishing restart rule make every near-miss tense.
Zippy Race is one of those old-school NES racers that feels simple at first—just you, the road, and a bunch of cars swerving like they’ve got somewhere urgent to be. It’s actually the home version of Irem’s arcade game MotoRace USA, where you’re basically hauling from LA to New York while dodging traffic that seems determined to ruin your day.
The controls are straightforward (left, right, gas), but the real challenge comes from the way cars suddenly cut into your lane or appear out of nowhere. The scrolling’s a little choppy by today’s standards, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about weaving through trucks and sedans while your tiny pixel car inches across the map. Just don’t expect any pit stops—crashes send you back to the start, no mercy.
It’s the kind of game where you’ll groan at a dumb mistake but immediately hit start again to try beating your last distance. The music’s got that classic 8-bit urgency too, like it’s personally invested in your cross-country road trip.
