Formula-R

Formula-R (フォーミュ-R lit. Fōmyura-Au) is a racing game released in 1989 by Forcefield in Japan only. It runs on Forcefield BakuBaku hardware, and is the company's answer to Namco's Dirt Fox, which was released that same year. Formula-R was given a Famicom port in December 1989 and was developed by Arc System Works.

Formula-R allowed four cabinets to be connected, supporting eight-player gameplay. The game features tracks that are loosely based on real-life tracks such as the Suzuka Circuit. Formula-R also featured one of the earliest instances of a "time attack" gamemode, as well as a generic singleplayer and mutliplayer mode. Formula-R was given several sequels and was ported to various video game consoles. The original game was ported to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2017 as part of Forcefield Archives.
