San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing

Screenshots1 / 2

A blue race car with white racing stripes drives down an urban street lined with buildings. The car is centered in the view with a yellow road divider ahead. Competitor vehicles appear on either side. The HUD displays lap time 0:16.06 in the top-left, race position indicators showing 124 and 25 points in the top-center and top-right, and lap counter 026/7/8 in the top-right corner. The 3D graphics use solid polygonal modeling typical of N64-era arcade racing games. The perspective is from directly behind the player vehicle.
