and, please no stab in the kidney, ...I'm leaving already.

9 for me.

This was the first game we bought for our NES (besides the SMB/DH that came with the system).  So I've played this game almost as much as any other NES game you can name.  It's without a doubt my favorite 2D racing game and my favorite non-Mario NES game.  Obviously I will be a bit biased, but this game means a lot to me.

I have a 6/10. It's always fun to pop in and play, though I could never get past the Greek stage.

I gave it a 6 as well. I enjoy the game and I do think it's a good one, especially for the NES but it's not something I'd necessarily recommend since it's a racing game and pretty tough, especially the later stages.

8! I love Rad Racer but of course it doesn’t deserve a better score.

9 for being a staple on the NES for me growing up and one of those games I can come back to again. Not the 10/10 of Outrun but it sort of fills the void for the NES.

Rad Racer and 3D World Runner really makes early Square look like they copy Sega games for NES library.

BTW, if anyone wants to play a similar game, check out Astro Fang for Famicom. Rad Racer on acid, with MISSILES!
