    Cosmic Race

    Game » consists of 1 releases. Released Jan 20, 1995

    A racing game for the PlayStation released in 1995. Supposedly, the 3D graphics were composed entirely of stock textures from the system's development kit, and the sounds all recorded from a Casio keyboard.

    Short summary describing this game.

    Overview

    The first (and last) game developed by the company "Neorex," Cosmic Race is a racing game released for the PlayStation in 1995. Aside from the anime-style portraits of the game's 5 characters, the game's graphics were created entirely using stock textures from the PlayStation's developer kit. Piloting flying vehicles dubbed "VEDs," which come in an assortment of shapes and sizes (Including a motorcycle, a mech suit, and a pineapple-textured bus with wings), players are meant to run laps around oversized, barren tracks.

    Boasting crippled controls, a variety of non-functional multiplayer modes (Including "Scramble" mode, which has players attempting to track down and capture balloons hidden within otherwise empty maps), and a general lack of consistency, the game was received poorly upon release, and Neorex would not go on to produce any new titles.

    Characters

    The game boasts a selection of 5 playable characters (each with their own individual VED).

    Characters / VEDs

    • Cyan Square - "Borg"
    • Kenjyuro T - "HITO-01"
    • Leo Clis Paldo - "Couga"
    • Easha Krueq - "Propeller"
    • Barba Kue - "S-Lagon"

    Legacy

    A decidedly obscure release, the game's lasting legacy seems to be it's dubious honor of being the only game to receive a score of "0%" from the now-defunct gaming magazine Game Player. The review was published in the publication's final issue in 1996.
