SNES A Day 42: Smart Ball
Approximate Release Date: March 1, 1992

SNES A Day 27: Super Off Road

SNES A Day 19: RPM Racing
Approximate Release Date: November 1, 1991
Genre: Racing
Developer: Silicon & Synapse

RPM Racing is most notable for being the first game by one of the most successful video game developers to date: Blizzard Entertainment, known as Silicon & Synapse at the time.
That’s all it should be known for. It’s not very good, though it has some interesting ideas.
