History

Rad Racer was one of the few Square developed games to be released in the United States before Final Fantasy. The game is notable for being one of the first video games to make use of 3-D, albeit 3-D that didn't work well but 3-D all the same. Square also developed another NES game that utilized 3-D and it was released around the same time as Rad Racer and that game was 3-D Worldrunner.
