One of the few Super Nintendo games that has really stood the test of time is Mario Kart, and the concept of guiding an armed cartoon character around a series of tracks never seems to lose its appeal.
SuperTuxKart provides you with a blast from the past with a game that borrows more than a little of its ideas from the Nintendo classic.
Despite being a bit of a rip-off of Mario Kart (or because of it, depending on which way you look at it), this game is great fun to play.
The courses are diverse, challenging and easy on the eye, and the characters are interesting too. There are lots of amusing power-ups to pick up and chuck at your opponents along the way, and the computer-controlled drivers are certainly not afraid to use them, so you need to be on your toes if you want to get anywhere in SuperTuxKart.

There are three different game modes to test you, namely: Time Trial, Quick Race and Grand Prix. Unfortunately, there's no equivilent of Mario Kart's Battle Mode, which is still my favourite part of the game.
Also, as the game is still in development, there are a few glitches such as the fact that some of the levels take a long time to load.
However, anyone who enjoyed playing Mario Kart will find this an amusing diversion.

Super Laser Racer is a mix between a top down racing game and Geometry Wars. It takes Super-Sprint like racing, and adds shiny neon retro graphics and weapons.

There are two game modes, quick race and tournament. Choose from 12 different ships to race, all with different performance stats, and designs. Half of them need to be unlocked by playing through the tournaments. There are three difficulty levels, and 12 tracks to master. The trick with these games is learning racing lines, which allow you to really fly round the courses.

On each track there are weapons scattered around, รก la Mario Kart, plus turbo strips to give you a speed boost. There are also shield recharge points, that work like pit stops. You can be destroyed in the game, so keeping an eye on your damage and whether you should pit or not is important. If you need more tracks, there's an editor included so you can design your own.

Super Laser Racer is a fun game to play for a few minutes here and there. It looks cool, and racing can be frantic and dynamic. The difficulty levels are a bit unbalanced - easy is very easy, while normal is a lot harder. There are online leaderboards, which is cool, but no multiplayer.

Super Laser Racer is a fun futuristic arcade racing game that is a great way to fill a spare ten minutes.
