Hello, I'm new to this community and I'm desperately looking for a game that I played in my childhood, only played not finished, because I wasn't skilled enough in those type of games with my baby hands. I only created an account so I can see if anyone can help me.
The game is racing/shoot 'em up hybrid, with a top-down perspective and vertical scrolling type, I remember that is either NES or SNES. You played as a red car with some type of weapon on the roof that improved every time you grabbed a power up, you destroyed every enemy vehicle in sight and you always rode in a highway at blasting speeds (due to the speed the white segmented lines that separated the lanes zoomed in and out of the screen) the vehicles shot proyectiles at you that damaged your car and I remember that there was a mini boss in the first level, like a big truck or something and then an enormous vehicle covering 50% of your screen firing at you. Also, when the durability of your car dropped to zero the car would explode in a Megaman X dying style, with a lot of blue-white orbs flying in 8 random directions.
Hope this is enough for you, oh, experts of retro gaming, to help me out in this finding. Thanks in advance.
SOLVED
I'VE FOUND IT! After several days of wondering and searching, looking for titles one to one, I've come across the game.
It's called Battle Formula/Super Spy Hunter.
