Retro Monday: Konami Krazy Racers
I have never played this game before, sure I’ve played Mario Kart, but not Konami’s version of it. I was happy to have played it though, it’s actually very good in it’s own right. It’s going to be instantly compared to Mario Kart, as they are both similar games and Mario Kart id the fore …
