About:
“ARMADILLO RACING” is a racing game released by NAMCO LIMITED (current Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.) in 1997.
Control an armadillo that rolls as it picks up speed, and head for the finish line through obstacle courses filled with unique events, or sprint courses designed for pure racing enjoyment. Finish in 1st place and you can enjoy a fun bonus game, too!
Message from Bandai Namco:
Bandai Namco Research Institute has been working jointly with HAMSTER Corporation to recreate arcade games that originally ran on the NAMCO SYSTEM 22 and SYSTEM SUPER 22 hardware. This title marks the eighth game developed through this collaboration.
Being able to release Armadillo Racing as part of the Arcade Archives series for the first time in 30 years is deeply meaningful to me, both as a member of the original arcade game's development team and as someone who has been involved in bringing it back. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the fans who have continued to enjoy the Arcade Archives series.
In this game, players use a trackball to roll an armadillo through a variety of obstacles while racing against opponents. Of course, the game can be enjoyed using a standard controller, but if you connect a USB trackball, you can experience gameplay in a way that is even closer to the original arcade version. I hope you'll give it a try. We sincerely hope you will continue to enjoy the fun and charming world of Armadillo Racing for many years to come through Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2.
