A flying-and-shooting oddity with 30 celebrity-parody pilots whose choppy scrolling lost most reviewers.
Racing Aces is a Hammond & Leyland game that Sega published, and it came out only in North America, in 1993. It has 30 playable pilots, all parodies of 20th-century celebrities, and mixes air racing with shooting.
Reviews were divided. Electronic Gaming Monthly called it a good idea with one fatal flaw, choppy scrolling and sluggish control, and found it incredibly frustrating, though it liked the sound effects. MegaTech put it among the games to avoid like the plague. GamePro, on the other hand, praised the authentic controls and sound effects of the planes, from World War I Fokkers to P-38s to jets.
What the press said at the time
| MegaTech Issue 28 | April 1994 | 8% |
| Sega Pro Issue 30 | April 1994 | 31% |
“This game is so bad in fact, that I’m going to wrap this review up here and now, and go and do … counting the hairs on Howe’s head.”
“Surely this must be the worst game ever reviewed in MegaTech? It has nothing going for it whatsoever - even the box artwork is bad.”
“A half-hearted attempt - hopefully someone will produce a better game on this theme.”
Before you buy
The US disc is cheap, well below the middle among North American Sega CD games, and loose copies sell only a few times a year. It came out only in North America, so a North American Sega CD is the match. Look for a printed label and a title and catalogue number that match the case.
