"I enjoyed what Tate Multimedia did with Steel Rats in a motorcycle platformer, but the Urban Trials series has really landed for me in Urban Trial Tricky Deluxe Edition. From pursuing every challenge, to the high score hunting, and besting every time, there’s something for everyone and a means to achieve it. Whether you’ve got fifteen minutes or a couple of hours, the game fits in either direction to satisfy and make progress. Urban Trial Tricky Deluxe Edition is great for any age, and a casual experience to get started with expert nuance in the later levels that really defines the experience."

About

Wangan Trial is a PlayStation racing game released in Japan in 1998. Developed by Pack-In-Soft, it focuses on high-speed street racing with a top-down perspective. Players compete on predefined tracks, tuning cars and mastering handling to beat opponents. The control scheme emphasizes responsiveness, with a focus on drift mechanics and split-second timing. The game’s soundtrack and visual style reflect late ‘90s arcade aesthetics, with blocky polygons and neon-lit environments. This title remains a footnote in PlayStation history due to its limited regional release. With no official data on sales or modern re-releases, it’s mostly known among retro gaming circles. Its 1998 launch date places it near the console’s early years, making it a curiosity for collectors. The lack of localization keeps it niche, but fans of vintage racing games might recognize its influence on later titles with similar handling quirks.
