Backfire!

About

Backfire! is a high speed rally racing game set in a 3D environment. You pick one of two custom built race cars and blast through six stages filled with tight turns and off road hazards. The controls emphasize quick reflexes and precise handling to maintain momentum. A split screen option lets two players battle side by side for the fastest time. This 1995 arcade title used polygonal graphics before they became common in racing games. The split screen mode remains a standout feature for local competition. Though rarely discussed in modern retrospectives, its aggressive pacing and physics hold up as a niche example of early 3D racing experimentation. The two car selection and limited stage count keep it brief but intense.
